Who are you rooting for today, the 49ers or the Chiefs?
It’s Super Bowl Sunday and for the 28th straight year, it will not feature the Dallas Cowboys. That’s a long time. It’s weird if you think about it. The team was in half of the Super Bowls in the ‘70s, then went on a drought in the ‘80s only to be in three of them in the ‘90s. In fact, all eight of the Cowboy's Super Bowl appearances occurred in a shorter span (26 years) than this current Super Bowl drought. That’s depressing.
But with or without the Cowboys, the Super Bowl rolls on and this year it will feature the Kansas City Chiefs versus the San Francisco 49ers. Which of these teams will you be rooting for?
On the surface, most Cowboys fans are likely to root for the Chiefs because the 49ers are one of the Cowboys' most historic rivals. But is that what you’ll be doing? Some of us don’t particularly care for either team and it’s more about who we’re rooting against. To keep in that same spirit, we’ve outlined a few reasons to root against each of these teams.
