Alright so I am a new British NFL fan after loving Jason and Travis Kelce’s podcast so when picking a team to support I keep gravitating towards the raiders. Probably coz of the badass stadium and name and the great history ( I just love the idea of winning with a bunch of unwanted players ). But it looks like the Raiders aren’t exactly great right now so I’m just wondering if I should just take the easy route and support someone like the eagles or the chiefs. Note that I am a Manchester United fan and if you know we are kinda shit rn (fuck the glazers) and I kinda want to support a team that doesn’t just give me misery. But I just keep coming back to the raiders. What should I do ?
If you end up siding with the Chiefs you have to wear a headdress and blackface.
Apparently the “Bad-optics challenge” is trending in Kansas City.
Seriously WTF? Some parent took their kid to Las Vegas, dressed him up like this and said “this is ok.”
Best Man U analog is probably Green Bay Packers.
Great in the past and recently, now on the downslide a bit.
Raiders are Newcastle.
Are you from Manchester or did you just bandwagon onto United in the 90s?
When I first came to the UK with my family in '09 we lived in Manchester for about 3 years but then moved near london
If you feel the call of the Raiders then join up, just be prepared for some lumps along the way.
The future may be bright though.
I’ve never listened to their podcast, but if you’re a fan of Jason & Travis, you should probably follow their teams and just embrace the front-runner, bandwagon fan stereotype. For all the warts of tugging a winner’s dick, they are (somewhat) stable franchises (right now) that won’t fall of a cliff (for the next three to five years).
Just remember, if you like a winning team now, and they start to suck, you don’t get to take off that nice uniform later.
Brother I support man united, i think I know a thing or two about sticking with a team
Well bloke, if you put on the Silver & Black you can’t go back. “Once a Raider, always a Raider” and you may have to defend it from time to time.
Anyone telling you you’re bandwagon fan is not a real fan.
Ain’t no way you can bandwagon a shitty team.
Raiders are by far top 3 shittiest teams to exist in the nfl
What the fuck? If you’re considering the chiefs you can’t be a Raider fan anyway. I bid you adieu
