If you don’t live in a state/city with a football team, who do you cheer for and why?

I was born in Buffalo, NY and even though I moved away, you are never not a Bills fan. There is no option. My entire family are Bills fans and they are maniacs. I was getting Bills stuff as gifts since as long as I can remember.

Then when I was final old enough to come to, we were garbage. For so long. And in a weird way, it kind of forms a bond with the team. I spent way too many games as a kid upset at a loss or being perpetually 7-9. Never good enough to make the playoffs, but always missing out on too draft talent.

Plus, some of my fondest memories are about the Bills. From my first game when I was 10 chanting “fuck the Raiders” for no apparent reason and somehow being cheered on to do it by the adults to watching games with my grandpa.

I just really love the team and they make me really emotional. Especially the past few years when we’ve actually been good.
