Why I Love the Fire: A Reflection on 19 Years

I am a Fire fan.

That statement gets varied responses from different people. Whenever I say that to an average guy they usually vaguely recognize it as the Chicago soccer team or just flat out don’t know/care. If I say it to a soccer fan, I’m usually greeted with a, “Wow, your team sucks.” But if I meet a Chicago Fire fan on the street and tell them that I’m a fan as well, that person will look me in the eye and say, “I’m so sorry for you.” We Fire fans have been through a lot in these past 19 years.
