"I don't like football. Having been born and raised north of Boston, though, I know I'm legally supposed to root for the New England Patriots whenever I choose to watch an NFL game. And I once did, as a young child (high schooler), who didn't know better (who enjoyed celebrating multiple Super Bowl wins and not understanding that most cities do not enjoy a world where all their sports teams consistently win)."
""Because the thing is, if the Bears win the Super Bowl, it'll somehow reset the fucking portal that we entered when Chicago did whatever black magic it did for the Cubs to win the World Series in 2016," TikTok user @saintlaurentcowgirl0 said. "So Pope Leo becoming the Pope was the precipice of this, and what'll loop us right back and close the portal and jump us in the correct timeline, is the Bears winning the Super Bowl.""
I don't like football and grew up north of Boston, so rooting for the New England Patriots felt expected during childhood. Early fandom faded; as an adult I avoid football because no team inspires loyalty and lingering Boston pride prevents support for nearby New York teams. I briefly followed the Chiefs during Taylor Swift's relationship with a player and sometimes cheer for the Seattle Seahawks for their lime green. A viral TikTok claimed a Chicago Bears Super Bowl win would reset reality to before 2016, which led me to browse Bears jerseys and feel spiritually aligned with Chicago.
