I'm a Buffalo Bills fans and their fans are pissing me off this week

Re: Colin Kapernick.

They want to give it to him hard at the game this sunday. I keep saying just either remain silent or ignore him completely.

Whether I agree with him or not (I actually do), if you want to minimize someone's protest, you ignore it. Don't counter protest because that gives press. Don't become hooligans and "give it to the target hard" because that makes you look foolish and petty.

Do what the Chinese do when the Japanese teams are introduced? They just turn their backs and ignore the Japanese teams. Not a sound. And the Chinese have a bigger ax to grind against Japan than these fake, patriotic jingoistic tRump fuckers who think their brand owns Americana and patriotism.

Seriously, just ignore it. The more you give it attention, the more you give it legitimacy.

Now, this does not apply to big things like Heir Rapen-Trumper. Him, you gotta take on and smash the ideology until it breaks.
