The managing editor over at Pride of Detroit, Jeremy Reisman, did an open thread that asked “How did you become a Detroit Lions fan?” And me seeing that served as part of the impetus for this post.
No two fandom stories are 100% the same and as I’ve met people from all over the world, if I find out that they’re an NFL fan, I ask two questions: who’s their favorite team? and why/how they came to that decision? Those two simple questions turn into great conversations and great conversations foster great relationships.
