To the average person, a table is nothing more than a table. However, for the Bills Mafia, this piece of furniture represents a symbol well anchored in the collective imagination.
In Buffalo, the table evokes football. The tailgate. The excesses.
A few days before the American Association final, which will pit the Buffalo Bills against the Kansas City Chiefs, the banner Dick’s Sporting Goods has just achieved a masterstroke.
The American company specializing in the sale of sporting goods has more than 800 points of sale. This week, one of them grabbed the spotlight with a very simple, yet oh so evocative display.

In January 2020, the presence of the Bills Mafia had caused a shortage of tables in Houston. This is serious.
The generous Mafia Bills
The Buffalo Bills’ staunchest supporters may be out of their minds, but that doesn’t make them heartless.
Following the elimination of the Baltimore Ravens by their team on January 16, the Bills Mafia mobilized to support one of the most cherished foundations in the eyes of Lamar Jackson.
We remember that the quarterback had to leave the game because of the concussion protocol.
In two days, the charity Blessings in a Backpack received donations totaling $ 360,000 from 13,600 fans.
Appreciate that #BillsMafia Means A lot not to only me but those kids as well?ﾟﾒﾜ https://t.co/fDNjJMpni9

The Bills supporters are crazy. But not that crazy.
