BILLS FANS A JOY FOR SIKH VISITOR

I'm 23 and have been a Dallas Cowboys fan since I was six.

I was fortunate enough to attend the Monday night game against the Bills. The atmosphere was incredible. There were a lot of Cowboys fans, but Bills fans voiced their opinions to every one of us in Dallas jerseys.

I watched a documentary on two Sikh fans who went to a Browns game in Cleveland and were ridiculed for the way they looked because of their religion. I'm also a Sikh (East-Indian background), and I went to the game with two other Sikhs, one of whom was wearing a turban.

We expected comments with regards to our religion, but the only ridicule we faced was for being Cowboys fans.

I have new respect for Bills fans. They were unbelievably passionate about their team, and I loved it.

I appreciate going to a game, and expressing my views without being stared at by everyone in my section like I'm some sort of illiterate person, with no etiquette.
