If he does not attend this weekends game against Miami I would not be surprised in the least if his first game in attendance  would be the Bengal-Bill game and  I would guarantee they would make that announcement to the stadium before kickoff. Call me jaded but that’s they way I see it. It wouldn’t be low so to speak but The Bills would try to use it as a competitive advantage. 

Okay, so am I following this correctly?  Do you mean if the Bengals end up playing the Bills next week and Damar is healthy enough to attend the game the following might happen?

1.  Damar attends the game.
2.  They announce to the stadium that Damar is at the game before kickoff.
3.  The announcement of Damar attending the game will in some way put the Bengals at a disadvantage.  A bigger disadvantage than already playing at the Bills stadium.
4.   So by making said announcement the Bills would be scheming such dastardly deeds to purposely manipulate the situation for a competitive advantage.
   

I mean I can see the announcement maybe making the crowd a bit more enthusiastic briefly but I don't think it would affect their behavior the entire game.  I don't think announcing to the crowd that he was there would be taking advantage of anything.  It would make sense to let the fans know he was there given everything that happened.   I don't see an announcement of Damar being at the game affecting the Bengals players in a negative way.   Again I think they would be glad that he was doing better and was there.  

I'm sorry I just don't see Damar attending the game and it being announced as trying to take advantage of the situation.
