The Buffalo Bills will be opening their new home with a special welcome to their neighbors from the north.<\/p>\n
Yes, near the shores of Lake Ontario, an American football team will play the Canadian national anthem before kickoff of a game.<\/p>\n
The Bills have announced that both anthems will be played prior to the start of next Thursday night\u2019s showdown with the Lions. It comes at a time when tensions are high between the respectve governments over trade issues, but when the citizens of the two countries have little or no real animosity between them.<\/p>\n
Canada has been our next-door neighbor for a very long time. And most Americans are wired to act neighborly. In this specific instance, the Bills are making a very neighborly gesture.<\/p>\n
Still,it\u2019s just a matter of time before someone who once wanted to buy the Bills has something to say about this. In all caps. Perhaps with a dash of AI slop.
