We have all read about it somewhere at some point in the last few weeks. While yes there are no more games at the ralph this season it makes me wonder as a fan. I'm talking about the signs that are being taken away from fans in our stadium. For years we have all seen the signs in diffrent stadiums and even in the ralph/rich stadium. Paper bags over fans heads signs depicting one fans hatred for a coach, player, GM, or even the owner in some cases. But now the teams are fighting back. Security in the ralph was instructed to take signs away from fans that are deemed inappropriate. What does that mean? I always thought if it was offensive in any way or explicate in anyway yeah i can see that. I mean the last thing we need is the arrayin nation in NFL stadiums holding up signs for racial domination. But because fans are unhappy with management and displaying it in thier signs these are inappropriate now? If they are threating the person life ok i can deal with that. If thier tasteless i can even deal with that. But what i can't deal with is the bull crap that is going on. TD and MM and yes even you Mr. Wilson have bigger things to worry about then some fans signs saying to fire TD and MM. Do you really think that your going to win back season ticket holders? It will be hard enough with product that is on the field and now this.
Some fans have said that the Buffalo Bills are infringing on thier right to free speech. While i don't agree with the what the bills are doing thier not. Ralph wilson stadium is rented to the buffalo bills by erie county and it is considered private property. They have the right to do this but it has gone on for so long that we as fans think it is our right. You know something it should be. I wonder if the owners are starting to forget who is putting the money in thier pocket? It us the fans and when we go out on a saturday night or sunday afternoon to watch a sub-par team we should be able to display or disgust for the team. With out the fans the Bills wouldn't be here. We have supported this team through thick and thin. Now were being treated like hippie protesters. I think the bills have more to worry about then what a couple of signs say in the stands. Whats next are we going to be restricted on when we can and can't cheer. If the security hears you say that someone on the team or in the organization stinks are we going to be escorted out? Or if fans start to boo are they going to be booted out as well? This is an issue that really shouldn't be a big deal but for some reason it is or is this just TD getting his last power trip in buffalo? I dunno but time will tell and i personally think Mr Wilson should appoligize for TD actions to the fans. Because wouldn't it be an erie feeling to be playing in a quarter filled stadium cause the reat of us are ticked off and our signs got us booted from the game. What do you think?
