The Buffalo Bills are at it again.
On Thursday afternoon the team put out the call for fans to come help shovel the stadium before the team’s matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
“In order to provide a safe venue for Sunday’s Bills Divisional Playoff Game vs. the Chiefs, the Buffalo Bills and Jani-King are asking anyone age 18 and over (or under 18 with proper working papers) interested in shoveling snow inside the stadium to come to Highmark Stadium beginning tomorrow (Friday) at 2:00 p.m,” the team said in a statement.
It didn’t take long for fans to start reacting. Most are wondering why the Bills are seeking cheap labor again instead of hiring a legitimate company to help with the problem.
“How have you not hired a snow removal company?” one person asked.

“You’re worth $3.7 billion and are getting millions from New York taxpayers for a new stadium. Stop treating fans like day laborers,” added another.
“This is a Billion dollar franchise with a multi-billionaire owner who is about to get an $850 million taxpayer handout and they want regular schlubs to come in and maintain their stadium for peanuts,” offered a third.
Most of the fans who attended Monday’s game between the Bills and Steelers were forced to clear off their own seats to watch the game.
