Why do the British love the lackluster Buffalo Bills so much? Most Americans see them as a bunch of perenial losers from a dirty old town. Why do so many British people love this team? I don't get it?

Because the Bills have usually been extremely likable, blue-collar, bring-their-lunch-pails-to work teams who fight hard and seem to have bad luck. The epitome of the Bills spirit is Don Beebe stripping Leon Lett at the one when the Bills were down something like 24 points. And the current Bills have come to embody those values as well.

I suppose us Brits always like the underdog.
I was under the impression that the Redskins were the most supported along with the dolphins. largely because these were the main teams when NFL hit our screens in the 80`s.
Kevin Cadle the sky sports presenter is a Bills fan, maybe watchers of the programme are influenced by him??
It is a weird one, as the main reasons why people support certain teams are usually because they have been there on there holidays. e.g Tampa Bay (Florida) Dolphins (Miami) and New York (Giants) . Buffallo is not a destination i would head to by choice!

I had no idea that the "Brits" as you call us voted for the Buffalo Bills every year. My son plays American Football over here and his favourite team has always been the New England Patriots. We "Brits" have a tendency to support the underdog so maybe that's the answer.

I'm a Skins fan, but the only team colours I've ever seen the average chav in the street wearing are Raiders tags, and that's probably more because many rappers wear them.

You've got to be kidding, I don't believe for a moment that the typical Brit has any clue who the Buffalo Bills are,
