Does anyone enjoy reading Super Bowl Gamethreads from non-partisan fanbases? This might be just a weird thing I do, but here are some of my favorites: :
Red Sox (Patriots overlap - fans were slightly pro 49er but split because they didn’t want the 49ers having 6 titles):

Browns (Largely Pro-Chiefs - felt our fan bases were kindred spirits):

Steelers (Slightly Pro-Chiefs, many didn’t want the 49ers having 6 titles):

A Seattle fan compares Chiefs and 9er fans live reactions and takes glee in the 9ers defeat:

A Detroit fan predicts we lose due the 49er running game:

Detroit fans on the same site had this game thread and all somehow concluded that Matt Stafford would have played better than Jimmy G. and Mahomes in the Super Bowl. Reading the Detroit threads made me kind of sad, and reminded me that elementary school me once thought Trent Green was a Top 5 QB:

Here is the Texans one. Even though they were decidedly anti-Chiefs, unlike the Patriots or the Bronco reactions - they weren’t crying about the refs the whole time (which gets old). They were pissed at the outcome but strangely a larger percentage their fans (compared to us) never counted out the Chiefs because many were saying “remember 24-0”, it’s an enjoyable read:

While not a gamethread, here is a thread from the
Ravens subreddit where they concede that they feel the Chiefs would have beat the Ravens had they met in the playoffs:

Jets game thread, this one is awesome. One of their fans chimes in with these predictions right before kickoff:
These predictions rightfully got a ton of praise after the game. The fanbase was overwhelmingly pro-Chiefs throughout the game.

What's cool about all of these reactions was that there were a few commonalities throughout the fanbases. All of them were excited about the game (and widely agreed the two best teams in the NFL made the Super Bowl). The reaction to WASP was like the shot heard round the football world, it's amazing how many non-partisan fans thought it was immediately a game again when Patrick connected with Tyreek. They all were universally stoked that Andy finally got his ring after Fuller's interception - which was awesome to see throughout each fanbase.
