Now if you could just let us have an NFL team! I have been a Chiefs fan since the day they won the SB - it was the first NFL game I ever saw (up here where I lived in the sticks we did not get any US stations) - AND it was on my birthday - Jan 11, 1970 - so that serendipity (be it good - or mostly bad) led me to be a rabid Chiefs fan - I THINK the only one in Ottawa, Canada - one of 5 in all of Canada...
So I was overjoyed when I found this site - and for the first time in 37 years was able to share the pain and frustration and understand that - I WAS NOT ALONE!!!
Having said all that - the ONLY way I would EVER switch (maybe) is if we got a team up here in Toronto - maybe someday - and the sad truth might be that I would see a Super Bowl in Toronto (see the Blue Jays - not the Raptors) before I saw one for my beloved Chiefs....
Done rambling for now!

Good luck on getting a team someday. It could happen. Don't give up on the Chiefs though.
I agree that Canada is a very good friend of the US despite our occasional differences.
It's great to have you here. You may know this already, but we do have one or two other Canadian Chiefs fans (and at least one Canadian Raiders fan who isn't as bad as the typical stateside Raiders fans for some reason).
