PromoTheRobot Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 From COVID. Unvaccinated. 2 days from positive test to Mark also tried to buy the Sabres after the Rigas debacle but was deemed to not have sufficient assets by the NHL. Tom Golisano would eventually succeed. He was 69. The Destroyers were Buffalo's one-season entry into the Arena Football league. I think they won one game then moved to Columbus. https://buffalonews.com/news/local/mark-hamister-died-unvaccinated-from-covid-19-his-children-hope-his-story-changes-minds/article_997c9082-1178-11ec-8403-f79ba9bac774.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I had completely forgotten about the Buffalo Destroyers...also didn't realize they only lasted a year. I would've guessed they were around for at least a couple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Yeah, they started off winning like 1 of their 1st 20 games or something, which essentially doomed the franchise here. I ended up with free tickets one time and attended a game with 3 of my buddies, we were around 22-24ish. So we didnt know the rules or format of the sport, but we were having a blast getting into the game and cheering/yelling for plays we thought would be good... booing at the right moments. People around us were getting into it a bit too. Low and behold in the 2nd quarter, our usher told us to be quiet and stay in our seats. We left in the 3rd quarter and never came back.

PastaJoe Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 So disappointing that otherwise intelligent people are dying because they won’t take a simple available step to protect themselves and others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
