Born and raised in Kansas City -- this is my cross to bear.

I was basically born into it, but I really got hooked in 1989. Marty's first season. I was 15, and that was the start of a really good run.

I don't even remember.
I think my father was a huge Bono fan, oddly enough. That's when I got sucked in. |

I started following football very closely around the time Priest Holmes and Trent Green came to KC. I was 13 at the time.

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. |

I was born in Lawrence, KS, which is extremely close to Kansas City. My dad has started being a big fan in the 90's. That's about it.

Growing up in Fighting Illini country, I always liked "Native American teams." The Redskins, the Buffalo Bills, and the Chiefs were easy to like as they were so good in the early '90s. When I was a tween it was time to pick a horse. I picked Chiefs but don't know why exactly. I still have arrowheads that I found in Missouri while visiting my Grandparents.
As a kid I liked baseball more, because I actually played it. Logic would say I'd be an Indians fan, but Big Hurt, One Dog, Black Jack, Pudge were my guys! Much like KC they were the great team that never won it all. |
