Reply to comment by harbison215 in Big Charlie’s Saloon, the Kansas City Chiefs bar in South Philly, cancels its Super Bowl watch party by CookedDenimRawPizza

I live nearby. It's a typical South Philly old man dive bar. A guy on my block in his late 50s is a regular. He's South Philly born and raised usually wearing Chiefs gear. It's all South Philly guys from the neighborhood who've been going here for decades and are all Chiefs fans because of this bar. Their only connection to the Chiefs is the bar. They root for all other Philly teams. It's like an odd little social club.

Oddly enough, my cousin is a life long chiefs fan. He’s from Bensalem. Not sure why he’s a KC fan. He’s kind of always been. So I guess that just happens with some people.

I think this is common. I live in Sacramento and there's as Eagles bar that I go to sometimes but I've never actually met anyone from Philly there. I think the owner is from Jersey, but everyone else has some random story about how they ended up as an Eagles fan.
