Anonymous Toronto Sign Jokingly Tells Locals to Stop Rooting for the Bills

A laminated anonymous note photographed downtown then posted on X captures Bills fans' tongue-in-cheek frustration over Toronto's so‑called sports curse.

Overview

  • Business reporter Sammy Hudes photographed the laminated sign on a Toronto street and shared the image on X on Nov. 12.
  • The breakup-style message, signed "#BillsMafia," urges Toronto fans to let the team go and blames a "curse" tied to local teams' struggles.
  • The note name-checks the Maple Leafs, a Raptors rebuild, and the Blue Jays’ Game 7 World Series loss as cited examples of bad luck.
  • It playfully proposes a split in loyalties—Buffalo keeps Lake Erie, Toronto gets Lake Ontario—with cross-border shopping allowed only when the Bills are on the road.
  • CityNews Toronto, blogTO, and ClutchPoints amplified the gag following Buffalo’s 30-13 loss to the Dolphins, and there has been no formal response from the team.
