Why do we love this team?

[Dottefan]

As I sit here and watch another loosing season, game, month, ect..lol.. My girlfriend ask me why do I get so upset , and invest so much energy, time, money and emotions into a team that in her words "sucks", and always lets me down.

I try to explain to her how I grew up a Chiefs fan( not sure how, cuz my dads a Raiders fan)..and that its my civic duty to root for the Chiefs. I try to tell her how good they were in the 90`s( she then points out that they never one a super bowl in that era. ) I told her how fun it was to watch that D take teams apart...how excited I was when Joe and Marcus came to town..how if Marty would of started Rich Gannon over Gerbach, we would of won a super bowl ..how if Lynne"****ing" Elliot would of only made one freaking field goal, we would of won a super bowl..

I explain to her, how I would get goose bumps watching Monday night games at arrowhead, and how proud I would be when the MNF team would talk about how awesome Arrowhead is, the tailgating, the crowd, and that noise..how much it would affect the apposing team. .. and the now famous "Arrowhead edition" of the National Anthem. How Arrowhead stadium was considered the loudest out door stadium, and how intimidating it was for opposing players and teams..( I then throw in the famous Rod Smith quote about his first trip to Arrowhead)

I also told her how much fun it was to watch that Al Saunders offense ...how it was like poetry in motion...how if we only had a descent D we would of won a super bowl, with that offense...I try to tell her all the joy that this team has brought me over the years.


Then after going over all that..it hits me..this is the low point of my relationship with my beloved team..this is the bottoming out point. I tell her "I refuse to give up on my team , or jump ship".."I`m in it for the long haul..this is a life long commitment that I`v made..and damn it.. I`m sticking it out"...


Now she wants the same commitment in our relationship, that I have toward my Chiefs..lol...DAMN CHIEFS.

Hang in there Dotte, many of us have no choice, its 'Death or Dishonor'... like the PR guy in Blabbs posted article today says (para) 'some fans, were pretty sure they're not going anywhere'... she'll understand one day.

[Sandyskc]

Ask her if she is willing to make this level of commitment. If she doesn't understand your commitment to the Chiefs, can she really make a strong commitment to your relationship?

Ask her why she wants to be committed to such a loser. That should solve your problem.

I think its probably the same reason some people pay leather clad hookers to stomp on their nuts and hit them with a stick.
