Such as this one: as players on both sidelines were set to begin their protests here Sunday, the Bills’ PA announcer bellowed, “Ladies and gentlemen, please rise and remove your hats” for the playing of the national anthem.

Taylor completed a career-high 77 percent of his passes (20 of 26) for 213 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Bills to a 26-16 win over the Denver Broncos at New Era Field.
“Our understanding is that the decision to kneel was a team decision, rather than an individual decision”, CenturyLink said in a statement to The Denver Post. Our team came together and we united as a front, as an organization on how we were going to approach the national anthem.
“This is a great country”, he said.
“We have to develop a mentality where in the third and fourth quarter, if we’re up – which is a good thing – we have to focus”.
“The leader of our country is supposed to be bringing everyone together, no matter race, no matter nationality, no matter religion”. For the most part, veterans support any American’s right to peacefully protest – a right these veterans say they fought to protect.
Former Bills coach Rex Ryan, who supported and introduced Donald Trump when he held a rally in Buffalo, recently stated he is not happy with Trump’s remarks about National Football League players who protest.
Several Bills players, including running back LeSean McCoy, were taking a knee while Kelly was doing that and Kelly wasn’t a fan of their display. “You want to kneel?”
Miller’s unsportsmanlike conduct penalty kept a fourth-quarter Bills drive going – the Broncos would have forced a punt without the penalty – and 10 plays later, the Bills kicked a field goal that made their seven-point lead a 10-point lead with just more than three minutes remaining in the game.
Owners from a number of teams saw no problem with what their players wanted to do Sunday, from kneeling during the national anthem, to linking arms to staying in the locker room during the national anthem.
Hughes also added that he doesn’t really know why Jim Kelly is on the sidelines during Bills home games. I’ll tell you this: I think it should be a separate issue. I get it. I understand it.
“Me, I never let money deter me from what I feel is right”, Marshall said Monday.
“What I do know is there is this, linking arms, kneeling, all those things are still happening”. Paying tribute to the men and women who have given their lives for our freedom is why I stand.
Kelly was asked about McCoy on Monday. We are the 2017 Buffalo Bills. “I think his situation is not good enough to have him on the team with all the attention that comes along with it”.

He said the Bills discussed how they’d handle the pregame Saturday night. Stop trying to divide us. “And by dividing us and dividing the team, that doesn’t work”. So how we live should be an example for the country.as far as ignoring color and personalities, any differences, ignoring those.
