Just wondering. There seems to be a huge backlash in response to yesterday's press conference. Obviously, people are having problems with it and would not root for the Toronto Bills (or what ever they happen to be called).
Which got me thinking. Let's say that RW is correct and Buffalo is in hard straights and the team did have to move to remain competitive. What if they were to move to Batavia? or Rochester? or Syracuse?
Would people from Buffalo still root for them? Would they make the roadie to go to games? Let's face it. Fans have had no problem with the Bills recruting fans from those areas to help prop up the team over the course of the last decade. True, no games were moved to those areas but people have blown a nut over the Toronto issue. Yes, RW's words sucked but is it the fact that it is Toronto, i.e., out of state, out of country that has provoked such a response?
What say you?
