Every NFL team has their fanbase. Patriots fans are known for supporting cheaters and being quite rude to visiting teams (cheaters never truly win you guys), Steelers fans have that little yellow rag that they spin around while simultaneously wiping their nose with it, and the Cowboys fans...well that's just a melting pot of bandwagoners.
But what about the Buffalo Bills fans? We are such a FAMbase that we have our own nickname...#BillsMafia! Trust me when I say this is a very eccentric group of amazing individuals each with their own special talents. Though our Fambase has been tarnished with misconceptions, here is why you should be proud to be apart of #BillsMafia (shout out to Del, Leslie, and Bre for being amazing and creating this on accident!)
1. We are more than just a fanbase.
BillsMafia is more than just showing up to games, home and away, cheering on the good ol' Buffalo Bills. We also try to help out the communities and each other in the process! Charities? Yeah we donate to those! Do your fans do that?
2. We are a family...a FAMbase!
We are always there for each other, whether it's helping each other out with a problem or just giving tickets we won't use to fans that would really enjoy their first ever Bills game! I've seen a lot of this on the Billsmafia facebook and it makes me so proud! Way to go guys!
3. We stick together through the good and the bad.
Let's be honest here..we are on a 16 year playoff drought with a possible 17 year if we don't get our act together. We are fans for more than the Superbowl rings (looking at you Patriot and Cowboys fans!) and we will be around for many more years to come without filling out a bandwagon application for another team.
4. We are open with our opinions and views without being rude to players.
Yeah.. we get frustrated. Our kicker isn't the best. Our QB is truly hit or miss. We have an exceptional running back (shout out to you McCoy. Love your work!) and our WR is made of glass. I think that justifies our frustrations. We voice our opinions without attacking our players and that's something a lot of you can't say!
5. PINTO RON. ENOUGH SAID!
Spoiler alert: Ron is not his first name. He is the most well known tailgater around and naturally he's a Bills fan!
6. We truly bleed Red, White, and Blue! #MERICA
I mean COME ON! Why are the Cowboys "America's Team"?! We are actually RED WHITE AND BLUE and we are proud of it. Ask any mafia member, they bleed those colors proudly!
7. The FAMbase turns into FAMily.
I have made so many new friends from all over the country thanks to the BillsMafia. Whenever I visit Buffalo I know that I will have a friend..or 15,000+ that I can hang out with!
