FORT MILL, S.C. — For the first time, NFL fans are seeing a normal afternoon following Monday night’s incident with Damar Hamlin.
Although the Bills will not be heading to the field tonight, their fanbase stands strong, even all the way down in the Carolinas.
The Towne Tavern in Fort Mill is a hotspot for Bills fans, covered in the team’s colors and boasting signed posters on the wall.
Connor McMahon grew up about an hour away from Buffalo and moved down to Fort Mill to work for his uncle, who owns the Tavern.
“Blue, red, and white, oh yeah, oh yeah, Buffalo Bills nation, you’ve got to be part of the Bills Mafia even down here in South Carolina; we’re everywhere,” said McMahon.
