Just because dumb stuff has been done for 50 years doesn’t make it ok to continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I’ve never once in this thread said it’s cool to throw snowballs at players the Internet age and The positivity of bills mafia has skewed a lot of what the Buffalo fan base is Generations of rowdy , Passionate, Drunk, And loud fan… That doesn’t get bred out quickly or easily 3 minutes ago, Beck Water said: I thought I saw them shoveling the aisles But, they didn't clear the seats.

Buffalo Dude Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, RoyBatty is alive said: Publicizing this was not a wise decision, no upside for the Bills, This is likely going to be brought up at a future Owners meeting. Refs should be able to call a penalty so it doesn't end up like a Cleveland/Cinci fiasco years ago. Players/refs/innocent bystanders can get hurt. Individuals throwing snowballs can be asked to leave, if deemed it’s unsafe activity . The team cannot be penalized which was what the refs threatened. Because who’s to say who threw the snowball: a fins fan or Bills fan? Edited December 23, 2022 by Buffalo Dude 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snow that won’t pack is harmless. Then there is the other end of the spectrum, and that stuff can do serious damage! whether players, other sideline personnel or just fans towards the field- lots of potential to go south for totally innocent folks on the receiving end 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Oh... The seats weren't shoveled out. People were just making more room! The snow ends up there anyway when shoveled... Pushed to floor of stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo ill Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Throwing snowballs at the field/players is a very childish move. A billdo being thrown at Tom Brady was a silly one time shenanigans type of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I do remember a snowball ambush when I lived in Steelton, Blasdell neighborhood (Route 20A, west of South Park) where a kid was ambushed by multiple snowball throwers with a planned (non-spontaneous) attack. The kid being hit had glasses broken and nose broken. Cops were called and parent was asked if they wanted to prosecute and parent said that if expenses were covered then a warning would suffice but if an attack occurred again, even without injury, did not want statue of limitation to invalidate case. There was an agreement in court for the kids and something else from non-kid (one of the throwers was 18). No more snow ball fights involving victim but he had bike tires slashed twice with one of throwers seen near by bike each time but no police involved. There have been much more serious injuries reported including spleen! Appropriate for WNY: https://www.wnyinjurylawyers.com/snowball-fight-injury/ Quote Snowball fights are often thought of as innocent fun, however the combination of snow and ice can cause serious injuries. If you have been injured in a snowball fight, ....... Beijing Winter Olympics had some Yukigassen (or snowball fighting) but not sure if that was just a demonstration or one time sport appearance.
