Pretty good article that looks at nationwide branding analysis with sports.

Before reading the article, my guess is:


1. Geography

2. Team that wins Championships from age 5-14

Yep..pretty much dead on. Except Sex. Females have other variables involved.

Age 8/9 seems to be the magic age for boys. Local team wins championship at that age - they get a fan for life.

I blame my dad too but it was more rebellion than anything else. Dirty gang bangers loved the Raiders in L.A., you always thumb your nose at San Diego when you're from L.A.; as the slightly cooler cousin, and Dad always said the Broncos were dirty and that Frontiere probably was too but for sure she was a crazy bitch.

Women don't get hooked on a sports team from when they are young, because, well most girls don't watch sports as children. But when their guy friends get into it when they are in their 20's or in college, they start to get in on the act.

What I am about to say is awful:


It was a coin flip whether or not I would be a Broncos fan or Chiefs fan. I live in the "Great Divide" of fans, and Denver was going to the Super Bowl (and getting fisted) every year while I was in the age bracket of picking a team.

My Oldest brother is to blame, too. He made sure that I chose eternal pain over happiness.

My dad was a 9ers fan, my mom a Raiders fan (kinda...she was from Oakland before it was a total shithole). Dad bought a poster for me and my brother's room, a picture of an end zone pile up with the Chiefs and the Raiders. I picked red, bro picked black. This was in like 1975 or something.

I've never looked back. Cuz, I enjoy the pain. I enjoy the misery and frustration. Because I'm...


In. Chiefs. Hell.

And now you know, the rrrrrrest of the story...

I chose the Chiefs because I was a young moron and they were my local team. Didn't hurt that they were actually worth a shit in my 8-12 year old range. 1994-1998.

Same.

I became a Chiefs fan out of hate for a 9ers fan. I hated that old, fat hepatitis infested bitch. She was a 9ers fan and it was the year Montana played them. She was mad apparently because Montana "betrayed" the 9ers.

I rooted for the Chiefs to win to spite her and it worked out. I've been a fan ever since.
