Buffalo News Columnist Angers Fans With Screw the Bills, Fight Dictator Trump Piece

In a sorry-assed season ruined by many due to spoiled ingrate multimillionaire athletes disrespecting the country and the military but kneeling during the national anthem, Buffalo fans had a rare beacon of holiday joy when their long-suffering team managed to make the playoffs.

It was the first time in seventeen years the woebegone Bills even had a sniff of the postseason.

It took a lot of luck and an epic late-game collapse by the Baltimore Ravens, but the Bills are a part of the postseason elimination tournament this year although it’s unlikely that they will stick around for very long even if they manage to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Whatever bitterness that may have lingered with many in Buffalo has been washed away like the sores of lepers frolicking in the healing waters at Lourdes after Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton’s fourth-down miracle pass resulted in a touchdown and punched Buffalo’s ticket.

The team was so grateful that they sent 1,400 chicken wings to the Bengals, they should have just sent them to the Ravens instead considering their great choke job.

There is one Buffalo resident who wants none of it though, a liberal columnist for the Buffalo News has told fans to screw the Bills and spend their time devoting their efforts to waging the resistance against dictatorial President Trump.

Rod Watson vents his spleen in the Buffalo News in his screed entitled “Rod Watson: Playoff game? Please don’t tell me any more about it”:

Does the phrase “Get a life!” mean anything around here?

I could put up with it Sunday night. After all, the combination of the stunning end to the Bengals-Ravens game and the Bills’ “must win” win was a nice conversation starter.

I wasn’t even averse to rehashing it on Monday, since it was New Year’s Day and nothing else much was happening.

But all week long? I’m sick of it already.

We can’t possibly be so psychologically pathetic that having a football team make the playoffs for the first time in 18 seasons becomes the most important thing in town.

Or are we?

AND

In the meantime, what’s going on in the real world?

We have a president well on his way to becoming America’s first dictator, while he and “rocket man” threaten to blow up the planet. We have environmental and civil rights protections being shredded, agency heads neutering their agencies and a tax bill that expands the massive gap between the haves and have-nots.

We have Albany bracing for trials of former officials and contractors that will lay bare the buying and selling of state government.

And we have a school system that, despite glimmers of hope and change, still graduates too few and fails too many.

But is anybody rallying, partying or waving banners about any of that? No, it’s all Bills, all the time.

Buffalo needs help. At the inevitable watch parties, we should use halftime for mass therapy sessions to reaffirm what should be obvious: There are things more important than Tyrod Taylor’s quarterback rating. A city with Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan masterpieces, Underground Railroad sites and a burgeoning medical campus should not have to fixate on LeSean McCoy’s all-purpose yardage.

Of course making the playoffs is a plus; all I’m asking for is a little perspective.

It’s enough to cause mixed emotions in the non-hysterical part of the population. Sure, a wild-card win over the Jaguars on Sunday would be nice.

On the other hand, I don’t think I could put up with another week of 24/7 hype. It’s already gotten on my last nerve.

Go (away) Bills!

Being the loyal and avid bunch that they are, Bills fans quickly took to Twitter and let’s say that they were not particularly thrilled with Watson’s explosion of Trump Derangement Syndrome induced diarrhea.

The Bills will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, many will ignore Watson’s temper tantrums but many more won’t be wasting their time because this is the exact attitude that the dipshits who ruined the season with their idiotic protests have.

BOYCOTT!
