This one goes out to all my jets fans that are fans cuz “my dad likes them” my 9 year old self should have chose a different team like so what my entire family is from NY, I WAS BORN IN FLORIDA but I decide to like the jets and its too fucking late to like another team at this point THIRTEEN YEARS now I’ve been a jets fan and there’s just no way out of this

I don’t even know how this man is 56 years old and still a jets fan. Fuck it tho, I’ll hold this team down till I die

    My dad is a giants fan, we were both born and raised in Jersey. The reason I became a jets fan was because I was a rebellious 8 year old who wanted to cheer for a different team but wanted that team to still be local, so here we are. If I had just become a Giants fan like him at the same time I could have been a fan for the 2011 SB, I did this to myself lol

    I was born into it myself. Family of Jets fans. The sad part is the old timers I know are so mentally checked out at this point it’s not even funny. They’ll watch for 5 minutes, laugh, and turn the TV off. We are so predictably incompetent. There’s no point watching when you know exactly what’s gonna happen.

      I am a Mets fan and I was at game six of the 1986 World Series so I will say the miracles do happen. Although that was actually a very good team so maybe the comparison isn’t apt. The Jets have sucked for so long. I really thought they were gonna go deep into the playoffs in 2015. No, they broke my heart again. In recent years, just when you think they can’t get any worse, they kind of reach a new level of terribleness. Witness yesterday. I wonder what level of awfulness we will have to bear on Friday.

    I can’t blame my father, I have only myself to blame.

    My dad is a Cowboys fan, I could have just done that, sure I’d get made fun of for it, but at least it wouldn’t be because of ineptitude.

    I chose this fucking team because I liked green and airplanes.

    My dad was a Giants fan but hated going in person. My uncle was a Jets fan and used to take me to games all the time. Here I am.

    Nah my dad’s a Raiders fan. I still have no idea why. Think it was because both NY teams sucked in the 70s.

    I was also born in Florida and can also blame my dad for this 😂

    Adopting his sports team wasn’t wise, but I hope it pays off one day.

    Being a Jets fan is like having herpes.

    One mistake and you’re just stuck with that shit for the rest of your life.

    And then you give it to your kids.

    I picked this stupid team. But I raised smart kids because neither one of them wanted any part of this fandom after watching me torture myself every Sunday.

    My family are basically Giants fans when it comes to Football. I choose the Jets because of color, they had the coolest, in my opinion, classic players such as Namath & Klecko. Wayne Chrebet, Martin, Victor Green and Mawae were my favorite players that got me into the Jets. Sehorn for the Giants and Moulds for the Bills were dope, but I stuck with the Jets.

    I still ride or die with this team, but I could have been a Ravens or Raiders fan because of the 00 Ravens and 76 Raiders.

    I became a Jets fan as a kid because of Namath. My dad was gone by then, so I can’t blame him for that lol
