Re: Buffalo's "Communal Inferiority Complex"
Interesting timing on this.
First, the thread I read right before this one was in the Sabres Zone with people *****ing about a presumed anti-Sabres bias in in the ESPN hockey power rankings and I thought "Buffalo has to get over this persecution complex."
Second, this article is very similar to what I posted this morning in another thread:
Originally posted by OpIv37While it's funny to see a division rival getting this kind of press instead of us, it was a dick move by Clark to call out a team he never even played for. Most of this website would be pissed as hell if he had said it about Buffalo.
And people in Buffalo need to stop taking it so personally if someone doesn't like the city. Some people don't like small cities and snow- in fact, most people who don't grow up in snow can't stand any thought of dealing with the stuff and they don't understand why anyone would live in that climate. It's one thing if someone takes an unnecessary shot at the city (like Brady's hotel thing) but it's another thing if someone just doesn't personally like it.
Personally, I'd take any dirty Northeastern city over Miami. I don't give a **** about their beaches, I'd much rather drink in a hole-in-the-wall bar than a night club, I can't stand the heat or humidity, and I basically consider the place to be just like it's portrayed in GTA: Vice City. The only good thing about it is the Cuban food. But, that's my opinion- I can see why people who hate snow and like beaches and nightlife would rather live in Miami than Buffalo.Last edited by OpIv37; 03-19-2012, 03:50 PM.

I agree in principal, but on the other hand, Esmond did not grow up here, and did not live through the Blizzard of 77.
That singular event had this area reeling for 35 years.
There's other stuff too...losing the Braves, the decline of steel, etc.
An area can only take so many collective punches in the gut.
