I'm with ya. It didn't end the way we all wanted, but I had one HELL of a time being a Chiefs fan this year. To be honest, I've loved being a Chiefs fan since I was 5. The ups and downs, highs and lows are part of the beauty of the whole thing. The idea that some day we'll stand alone with the trophy is what keeps us coming back. I often wonder if I'll have the same drive as a fan after we win the Super Bowl...I love this city and I love my teams. I was super disappointed after the Royals didn't make it in last season, but I am beyond Pumped to get back to the K and I'm hopeful that the boys in blue finally turn it around this year.
Being a fan, at least to me, isn't just about seeing your team win a championship...or even be successful, really. It's about the experience. It's about enjoying 3 hours a week with friends and family and like-minded people and forgetting about your everyday stresses. The Chiefs and Royals do that for me...and that's why I come back.
Sure, this loss hurts. I teared up in the stands. But I made memories with my brother and fiancee on that road trip that I'll take with me for the rest of my life...and no amount of losing can ever diminish how important that is.
