Chiefs How did you end up a CHIEFS fan? - Page 10

Luke Warm · 09-04-2012, 08:12 PM

Just curious.

The first NFL game I ever watched was Superbowl XXIV, when the 49ers dismantled, humiliated, embarassed, annihilated, decimated the

55-10. It was a SB party at my uncles house. I instantly became a Joe Montana fan. I thought he was awesome (to this day I still think he's the GOAT) so I followed him. After that Superbowl I had my parents buy me books and shirts of him. Since he retired with KC, I stuck with them ever since and never looked back. And never will. EVER. They can keep breaking my heart every year but that's where this team stays, in my heart. Corny I know but its the truth.

I was more of a Royals fan as a kid but, the cops would give us Chiefs trading cards when we were out riding our bikes or skateboards. I guess that started it all.

Cool, I live in Kissimmee. I assume you will also be at the Chiefs vs Bucs game in October?

You're born into it obviously. Nobody would wish this on themselves.

Especially if you grew up in the 80's LOL

Punishment for being born.

I was born with a

I do like how the OP says "end up a Chiefs fan" instead of "become a Chiefs fan".
lol
I often question how I 'ended up' being a fan many, many times.

I was over on Guam, in 1970 when the news came that the Chiefs had won SBIV. Saw it on armed forces TV a few months later and got hooked, even though I had no idea what a first down was yet.

Dayze, how did you end up becoming a Chiefs fan?

Dayze · 09-05-2012, 02:20 PM

Oh, I wasn’t being inflammatory (hopefully it didn’t come across that way). I just realize that I often use the same ‘ended up’ phrase.

I ended up being one after my oldest brother took my older brother and I to a game around 1984 I think. We sucked, stadium was empty; entire upper deck was empty;.. cold ass winter day, and we moved around the upper deck throughout the day to stay in the sun to be a little warmer.

I hear yea, course at that time I was more interested in chasing tail than football so the Chiefs were easy to not pay attention too. Derrick Thomas changed that, he got me excited for the Chiefs again.

KCrockaholic · 09-05-2012, 02:46 PM

I was born that way.

I didn't have a "moment" or any other reason. I loved football from the second I was born. As I got older (around 6) I started watching the games and trying to understand.

I had a great grasp and understanding of football from a very young age. My coaches in elementary school always loved how I understood the game so well at such a young age.

The Chiefs were just destined to be part of my life from the beginning.

Football is all I know.
