Are any of those good enough reasons? I don't know. It's enough for me to justify my love and obsession with the Chiefs...maybe I'm just nuts lol.

I don't know if "good enough reasons" is a way to think of it, but I suppose it'll do. The family traditions, and the memories, I understand why they are so great, and therefore a reason for you to care. But what about your old man? Why did HE care so much he passed it on to you?

It's really an interesting thing to ponder, for me anyway. In my case it's the Chiefs, but really, any sports fan...we spend time, money, and mental commitment to our favorites sports teams...is this a modern phenomena? Did people give a shit like this about their favorite gladiators in Rome? Heh. I dunno...it's weird.
