For some of us, they represent us too. As a Chiefs fan in San Diego, there aren't many of us. So to my many friends and family over the years when they see the Chiefs, they think of me.
"Dang Detoxing must be so happy right now since they have Mahomes"
Or
"Dang, Detoxing must be pissed right now after that loss"

Good point. I've lived away from Missouri for nearly all of my adult life. Being of fan of the Chiefs in particular has become a major part of my identity.
Also, I have no real life support group to console me if they lose. That sucks.
