eball Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 For those who are unaware, the term Bills Mafia came about not because of table-crashing and tailgating, but because a national reporter (Schefter I think) made derogatory comments about a Bills player on Twitter and a group of Bills fans "banded together" to berate said reporter. It was called Bills Mafia -- as in, you better watch out when you trash our team/fans -- because of how Bills fans have the team's and each other's backs. Nothing ill-conceived or criminal or anything but a good time. A lot of players embraced it and it grew. Yes, the term has gained popularity when associated with the tailgating antics but it is generally considered to be positive and in good fun. Ya'll need to chill out and lighten up. It's fun being a member of the Bills Mafia. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s good enough for me. I don’t need to be a ‘nation’ or a ‘mafia’ or an ‘army’. The fan base should be referred to as the "Stampede" as we are the loud and raucous noise that follows the gallop of a charging Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a word for what I think of the Bills Mafia, but it is probably more offensive than the ones I have already used. "La mafia" Is just a condensed version of the word La Familia, which refered to powerful families that held political sway, and controlled vice in a city or region... La familia was who you went to in order to get sh_t done... I personally like the Billsamafia moniker... It's a family that instead of ordering hits on people, does good things... Just ask Andy Dalton, and Daryl Talley... Edited February 6, 2018 by #34fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did over time morph into what it is today that with a heavy crime emphasis... but this was originally an organization made necessary to take care if it's own people.

It gets a lot of credit (i.e. donations to Bengals fund) which is not due. I understand players thinking they represent all Bills but they do not.

Not Bills Crew, Bills Fans, Bills Nation, Bills Gangsta, Bills etc..., Time to move on from the mafia term. All I think about when I hear that term is steve drop the ball johnson. 11 hours ago, CaptnCoke11 said: I’ll go with.. a Bills fan ? 15 hours ago, Jobot said: True - the Mafia in America originally was an organization that essentially helped poor/impoverished immigrants survive.

What does the billsmafia do to help out in the community. When I go on their web site I see no $$$$ amount listed being donated to taking care of its own.

Sweep through the city and make it spotless! Why do you need a SB win to gain the motivation to clean up the city? If it is that big of a concern for you, stop by the east side and start today. Let me know if you can get any of the locals to pitch in and help you...or if they choose to rob you instead? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will all live up in the air, so there will be no streets - no trash - no mess. If LA is any indication, there will be streets below, and people will gladly toss their trash on them, but they'll just get to fly above it all. 18 hours ago, eball said: Too late. It's a part of the Bills culture now. I don't know why folks don't enjoy it. The only people I ever hear being offended by the name are Bills fans. The name isn't going away any time soon so long as it keeps showing up in national media power rankings. There's a better chance for a national effort to make the Bills change their name because Bill is a masculine name, and non-inclusive of other the other 27 new genders, and it's exclusively offensive to Billie Jean, who works at a Hortons on Chippewa, and Tim Graham, who will write a four page feature on how he'll never call the team the Bills again.
