The Buffalo Curse

The prevailing question is WHY do Buffalo sports teams always come up short in bringing home a championship to the city of Buffalo?

Every team from the Bills, Sabres, and even long departed Buffalo Braves have showed promise, inspired hope and raised expectations only to ultimately disappoint their ever so loyal fans. Now there has been banners raised on a lower level with glorious juggernauts such as the Buffalo Stampede in Roller Hockey in 1994, or the Buffalo Bandits LaCrosse Championship of 1996.

The Buffalo Bills captured back to back AFL titles in 1964 and 65. However this was when the AFL was in it's infancy and got little if any national attention. Several years later the young upstart AFL merged with the established NFL and this ushered in the Super Bowl Championship.

Since that time Buffalo sports fans have gone through one devastating loss after another from both of their two remaining major sports teams. (The Sabres being the latest to disappoint) Here at BuffaloCurse.com we have pondered this perplexing subject and have found a possible answer to the WHY. It can be linked to a major event that took place in the city of Buffalo over one hundred years ago.

The city of Buffalo was the site of the Pan American Exposition in 1901. This was considered a major national event, and a huge victory for the city to host it. This of course was the first time Buffalo had such a national spotlight. President William McKinley was invited to the Exposition and arrived for the opening days events. On September 6, 1901 the president was shot twice by Leon Frank Czolgosz at the Exposition. Doctors thought McKinley would recover, and he convalesced at the home of the expositions director in Buffalo. However little more than a week after he was shot, he died of his wounds on September 14, 1901.

This of course was a major blow to a city trying to make a positive name for itself with it's first big national event. Ever since this event whenever the city of Buffalo is in a national spotlight, bad things happen! Now naturally the rebuttal to this Voodoo speculation would be...why has Dallas not been affected by some curse, or even Washington DC for that matter? Perhaps because McKinley was a Freemason and to most religious groups, Freemasonry is viewed as an occult or "evil power".

Perhaps what the city of Buffalo needs is some sort of exorcism held at the site of the assassination, which was at that time the Temple of Music on Exposition grounds. At this point most Buffalo sports fans would piss on a spark plug if it could turn things around! One things for sure, the Buffalo Curse lives on. And regardless of the reason or cause, the poor suffering souls who continue to sell out games, buy merchandise, pay for football and hockey on satellite services..all are forced to acknowledge that something HAS to be going on here!

in the Stanley Cup Finals.
