We were beyond excited….I admit….during the game last night I gave myself a little pep talk like I normally do…it went like this:
Well, I’m really proud of them being in the Super Bowl….like we really really did it…we got here! So, really it’s ok…and there has to be a loser every time…and perhaps it will be next year will be our year?!”
Then, it’s like all the things in the universe worked in our favor…to the point that Joe Buck was even completely speechless…which in my humble opinion…is actually best. 😬
I was with my family and extended family and we were not sitting…We were standing…we were jumping…we were screaming….and we were shocked. This was new territory for us. Fireworks were going off…people were yelling…we were high fiving…we were practically crying.
I have waited for that moment for 45 years.
Perhaps you don’t know what it’s like to wear a jersey for your hometown baseball and football team and get laughed at…but we do. Perhaps you don’t know what it’s like to get excited. Almost make it…and then lose….every year.
My son almost quit being a fan…but I told him. You remain loyal…always loyal….because someday…it will be our turn…and boy did it feel good..
My son is now 20….but he’s been a fan since we showed him his first football game.
Will it change our lives that we won the Super Bowl ? Absolutely not….
But for all of us in KC (born and bred right here) and the rest of us surrounding they have supported this team when it wasn’t cool…it’s nice to have some love from others. For people to know where MO even is 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️. For people to unite together.
No one care who you voted for, where you go to church, if you carry a gun, what your occupation is…only if you are a Chiefs fan…and I think this dreary weather KC loving woman…and this entire city…just needed a bit of good news…and it’s so nice that it doesn’t matter where your from…just who are you rooting for…and we will always root for home…
