Buffalo Bills Sold

#5

Quote:I think both are correct in this case. Since the Buffalo Bills refers to a singular team as well as the plural members said team. 
 

In this case, "Are" would be more appropriate, because you'd say the Buffalo Bills are a football team.  Not "The Buffalo Bills is a football team."  Team names tend to imply plurality.  Even when they aren't.  For example the Utah Jazz.  "The Utah Jazz are a basketball team."  Not "the Utah Jazz is a basketball team."


On the other hand "Starbucks" IS not ARE, unless you're referring to more than one Starbucks.  

I was wrong about Trent Baalke.

ABOUT US
The Jungle Forums is the Jaguars' biggest fan message board. Talking about the Jags since 2006, the Jungle was the team-endorsed home of all things Jaguars.

Since 2017, the Jungle is now independent of the team but still run by the same crew. We are here to support and discuss all things Jaguars and all things Duval!
