You can't blame him for somebody else's faults a long time ago Buffalo Bill Cody was a civil war scout and fought in the Indian wars , killed native Americans.. he scalped a chief... The Buffalo Bills don't honor Bill Cody It's just our name You better keep it down before someone finds this information out and we are changed to the western NY football team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 1 hour ago, Just in Atlanta said: To be honest, until last night, I actually thought that chant belonged to the Atlanta Braves. As a little kid, I went to a lot of Rangers games and thought "Let's go Rangers" da da da da da was unique too until I noticed that just about every team does that -- still. Then I learned "My Country Tis of Thee" is the exact same melody as "God Save the Queen" and our national anthem has the same melody as a British drinking song. Our own Bills fight song — whose time has long past IMO — is the ripped-off melody of the famous Isley Bros song. I mean face it, we humans are not nearly as clever as we think we are, when you travel from east to west in America the town names repeat for three thousand miles…. Really, Albany New York, Albany California…, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t give a damn about any of this, but if anyone deserves to be canceled, it’s the Chiefs fanbase. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 23 minutes ago, Jauronimo said: Indian is a name that was thrust on millions of people after some dude thought the caribbean was India and it stuck for hundreds of years. Pretty effing ignorant to refer to all of the indigenous peoples of what would become north and south america as Indians. Irish is literally the preferred nomenclature of citizens of the country of ireland. There is nothing remotely controversial or offensive about the term Irish. This is an exceedingly poor comparison. That is an excellent point I didn't consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Buffalo Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 1 hour ago, WhoTom said: When one appropriates another race's culture and misinterprets its rituals to the point where many members of the race are offended, it's a pretty good sign that one thinks of that race as inferior. The Seminole tribe helped create the FSU chant, chop and mascot design. The fact that others comment on it without any clue of it's origin is pretty sad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
