O-fence?


Recommended Posts

Here's a question that has bothered me for a long time.  There's hardly a game that you don't see a shot of a fan with a D and a fence (a joke so so juvenile that my 8 year old thinks it's funny)

 

I've never seen a shot of a fan with an O and a fence.  Why not?

 

I suspect that the fake news media is the culprit.

I've been saying that since I was a kid, lol. My friend and I tried to make an O-Fence sign when we were teens, but the fence looked stupid & we didn't bring it to the game. Still never seen one at a game.

I think it has to do with the relevance of the imagery. 

 

A FENCE is what you erect to restrict access or keep people out.  The job of the DEFENSE is to keep the opponent out of the endzone or restrict access.  It's a play on words that visually works.

 

It would make no sense to be waving around a restricted access/keep out image when your offense is trying to get IN to the endzone and score points.

Sounds like for those instances, they need a ‘JUST KEEP RUNNING UP THE SCORE!’ sign.  Let’s print up 5,000 and see how well they’re received.

Simple answer is that you don't want your fans chanting when you have the ball.   ?

At some point during the drought, when the Bills had a great defense but a terrible offense, I remember seeing a sign in the stadium that said, "There's something missing in BUFFAL"
