I grew up in Maryland, but was the only one in my family who was born in Kansas City. As the youngest kid, I wanted to be unlike my brother and sisters, and I latched on to the Chiefs. Plus, they were one of the few teams to have a weapon on their helmet, which I thought was cool. Thus the mind of a child.
Then as a teenager, I learned about the history of the NFL and Lamar Hunt, and I realized that I was fortunate enough to already like a team that contributed to the game that I love to watch and follow, rather than to siphon off of it or line their own pockets. Admiring the actual owner of the team, rather than following one of the many millionaire merceneries who took a job with them, just cemented it.
