tubby_mcgee 683 Posted September 16, 2018 Halftime?That's not retiring. That's being a focking turd. A baby. Quitting. Typical -- same umbrella as Kaepernick, Serena, the boxer that immediately quit after bell rang. Birds of a feather. And if a white guy did it...it would still be birds of a feather. So don't even start with the racist garbage.

KSB2424 3,082 Posted September 17, 2018 For those that are upset, would it have been okay if he waited until after the game? Nobody is actually "upset". This is a message bored where we discuss stuff. But yes, in sports its rather shitty to walk out at halftime. Nothing to do with the Bills themselves but to his teammates. Which is probably why this NEVER happens. Of course its better to do it after the game, giving your teammates a heads up before you are MIA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonS 3,050 Posted September 17, 2018 I dont think he can. The bills still control his rights. Anquon Boldin tried this move. He quit to focus on "activism" but then changed his mind later in the season and said he wanted to play again for a different team. Bills said "fock you Q" and wouldn't release him.

Voltaire 4,491 Posted September 17, 2018 Yeah, from the moment he retired, if Calvin Jonhson had ever gotten the itch to return to the NFL, he'd have to do it as a Lion. Same with Quitter Davis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Companies fire employees in December so shareholders can buy a little more blow for the Christmas party. Bunch of over sensitive b!tches. Boo focking who.I'm sure youre just trolling, but here's one big fuucking fundamental difference. There aren't any companies out there that are specifically held down by their industry as to the number of people they can employ on any given day. whatever the number is these days? 52 or whatever? Sounds like a big number until you get a coach actually breaking it down and that shiit's pretty damn tight. No wonder it's a hell of a lot easier to be a college coach among many other reasons. They're dudes out on the field who every step Feels Like a Knife in their knee cap and having an extra week off would have maybe made the difference between finishing the season or not. Meanwhile, this guy is literally pissing away a roster spot that could have been used in a much more crucial position. You know he knows he's in the wrong. He ran away like a biitch. Didn't face his teammates nor the media. And posted online so he wouldn't have to face any scrutiny. I mean literally given what we know about last week and the situation in general, all you had to do was pull one of the assistant coaches to the side at halftime and say dude, not feeling it, I'll be here if things get absolutely desperate, but then but I'm done after today, let me leave gracefully. Wouldn't have been stellar. But would have made life easier on everybody including himself. Now on top of everything else, his former teammates have to answer questions about this shiit that they didn't cause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mobb_deep 917 Posted September 17, 2018 Im actually not trolling for a change. I dont understand why we hold athletes to a higher standard than your average joe. If my work environment sucked and I had the means to retire or get another job, Id split. I dont care that Joe the IT guy has to do a little extra work, or Ive betrayed the company. Maybe its a different mindset, since Ive mostly worked for Fortune 500 companies, but I learned really quickly that they dont give a fock about me or my family. Theyre about the shareholders and dividends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
