Because of my hatred for the Chicago Cubs from a very young age.
I can not stand Cubs or their praggity ass fans. My dad is a die-hard Cardinals fan and raised me to be one as well. From day one, he made me well aware of how disgusting the Cubs fanbase is...and I thought his observations were legit, considering the behavior of the Cubs fans at school. The contradictory thing about my dad (in my eyes) was that he was also a Bears fan. He isn't as hard core about the Bears as he is the Cardinals, but he is a self-proclaimed Bears fan. When I was about 6 or 7 years old and started connecting cities with their teams and started noticing that many of the Cubs fans that I talked smack to every single day were also Bears fans, I decided that I literally could not root for that team. So I looked at this football card I had that had a picture of all of the NFL helmets and decided to become a fan of the team that I thought had the coolest logo/helmet. I narrowed it down to the Bengals and Chiefs...and chose the Chiefs. I have been die-hard ever since.
Funny thing is, many things have occurred that has led me to believe that I have converted my dad to a Chiefs fan....he hasn't flat out admitted it, yet.... but he always seems to know what's going on with the Chiefs (and never knows what's up with the Bears) and he is always in a chipper mood when the Chiefs win (he is pretty apathetic when the Bears win). I think years of me pounding the thought of, "you are rooting for the same team the despicable Cubs fans root for" into his head got to him pretty early on.....but he won't admit it.
