We The Fans

S.S. Sports

We all know what event February revolves around. Whether we look forward to it or we dread it, the whole month is based off one day: Valentine’s Day. February is full of sappy love and spending unnecessary amounts of money on that special someone. Valentine’s Day is a time for appreciating the people we love and unreachable expectations set by Twitter couples.  

As of recently the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl LIV against the San Francisco 49ers in an amazing comeback performance in the fourth quarter. This was their first Super Bowl appearance since January 1970. Fans have shown their unconditional love and loyalty, believing in the team every season. They celebrated with pure, raw, joy after their incredible win.

Teams would be nothing without the love and support of their fans. Fans have the power to build up teams and their players. Fans support by attending games, buying merchandise and streaming and watching games online and on the television. When fans attend games, they enjoy their time cheering and spending time with their families. The love of a fan is incomparable to any other type. For example, when Kobe recently passed, all of his fans came together to show their unconditional love and support for his family. 

Sports fans form a community and victories and tragedies bring them together. As Valentine’s Day approaches, remember to appreciate our favorite players and teams a little extra before they’re gone.
