boater Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Listening to the windbag live right now. He's saying the Buffalo Bills may be up next to change their name. Rationale: They are named after Buffalo Bill Cody who murdered many Native Americans. I hope the Bills don't change their name. (it's 930 AM, or WBEN on radio.com) 11
DrDawkinstein Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Absolutely baseless assertion to simply rile up his listeners with a Slippery Slope fallacy. 21 2
Kirby Jackson Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) I don’t see it getting to that point. Washington was a bit of an extreme. The Atlanta Braves aren’t changing their name as an example. If they do, so be it. I have a lot of stuff that will be obsolete (including the shirt that I have on now). As long as the “Buffalo” part doesn’t change I’ll manage. I don’t think that it’ll happen though. Edited July 13, 2020 by Kirby Jackson 2
ChevyVanMiller Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) I was under the impression that the old AAFC team, The Bisons, changed their name to the Buffalo Bills because of the popularity of a barbershop quartet of the same name. They did use the Buffalo Bills Cody mascot for a few seasons, but long ago dropped that association. https://www.bmhof.org/inductees-b/buffalo-bills-barbershop-quartet.html Edited July 13, 2020 by ChevyVanMiller
NoSaint Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 I suspect there are a few things working in the bills favor- small market not particularly activist market not many knowing bill cody but with things like statue removal stretching pretty far, it’s not impossible 1

whatdrought Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 In a society where people can always find a way to be offended, and we encourage it, I would be surprised Also, how does he define “murdered” Indians? 2
Back2Buff Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 The Bills don't need a nickname. Are they the only team that uses the city as their mascot? If they do switch, they should switch the Bisons and the Bills should be become the Bisons. It would require zero change. 3

(it's 930 AM, or WBEN on radio.com) I don't believe Buffalo Bill Cody murdered many native Americans he was a civil war soldier, and created Buffalo Bill's wild West show which had natives in prominent roles Edited July 13, 2020 by Buffalo716 3 1

'Cultural appropriation' and all.....
