A big part of why I still support the Bills is because of Buffalo memories. When I lived in Buffalo, going to the games with my kids and all the great games we watched together became a huge part of my life.
The memories of the glory years have kept my loyalty alive since being gone.
But now, an even bigger part of that is going back to Buffalo every season for games, the people of WNY, the northern accents, the food, the sights and sounds of tailgating, the Pinto...even more memories have been made over the years since I've left.
If the team were to move? There are no memories in LA for me to "go back" to, no Sahlen's Hot dogs, no wings, no white pizza, no beef on weck, no WNY accents or culture, no Niagara Falls. It would just be a generic football team with a different uniform and perhaps a new name and a lot of new players. A shell.
No thanks. I would surely continue my annual trecks back to Buffalo. I love it that much. But I would probably eventually become a Texans fan.
