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.

Yeah…I think that’s the gist of it.  And I agree the Bengals can overcome it.  I guess I just don’t see the Bills somehow as a sympathetic victims I. All this now. Hamlin?….Yea for sure…but my jaded world view tells me the Bills are going to use this situation the best they can to their advantage
