BUFFALO BANS BON JOVI MUSIC BECAUSE FRONTMAN IS INTERESTED IN PURCHASING THE BILLS FOOTBALL FRANCHISE AND MOVING IT TO TORONTO

jonbonjoviprofile400 Chris Jordan of Asbury Park Press reports:

Bon Jovi’s music is getting bounced out of Buffalo.

A group of Buffalo Bills fans called 12th Man Thunder are upset with the intent of Jon Bon Jovi to move the Bills to Toronto if he and his Toronto-based group are successful in purchasing the franchise. They’ve created “Bon Jovi Free Zones” in the region and so far more than 60 locales and businesses have signed up as a protest against the possible move.

There was no Bon Jovi music playing at the Mandy’s Cafe on Clinton Street in Buffalo, a Bon Jovi Free Zone, on Wednesday.

“We love Bon Jovi and we love his music, but we don’t want the Bills to leave,” said Mandy’s Cafe bartender Kim Brown. “We’re No. 1 fans.”

The group’s goal is to have 70,000 petitioners — that’s a sell-out at the Bills’ current home, Ralph Wilson Stadium.

“The fans are fired up and standing behind any ownership team dedicated to keeping the Bills in (Western New York) while Mr. Jon Bon Jovi has made it clear that he would like to purchase the team, and move it to Toronto,” reads a statement on www.12thmanthunder.com.

Bon Jovi is part of a group with Maple Leaf Sports and entertainment executives Larry Tanenbaum and Tim Leiweke who are in the market to purchase the Bills after the death of owner Ralph Wilson. Groups that include Donald Trump and former Bills’ quarterback Jim Kelly are also in the running.

The Bills are valued at $870 million.

The Sayreville-born Bon Jovi is a professed football fan and the former owner of the Philadelphia Soul arena football team.

His son played for Notre Dame football last year.

    I don’t like Bon Jovi and never have.
    But what Buffalo is doing is just plain stupid.
    Has Buffalo ever boycotted anyone else for taking something away from them?
    Perhaps the people of Buffalo ought to make the Baffalo Bills franchise a cooperative and invest accordingly if they want to keep the team so badly. Make it a true team of the People.

    I thought he was a Jersey boy, the hell is he interested in the Bills for!?


  • Buck Futt on

    Good for Buffalo. Banning that douchebag boy band’s “music” is the best thing to happen to that town in at least a century.


  • Shawn on

    “I started my own Bon Jovi Free Zone decades ago.” Bob, that was priceless. hahahaha
