This is kind of a cute story. My dad has and always will be a die hard Dallas Cowboys fan. When I was growing up, he was trying to infect my head with the horrible thoughts of being a Cowboys fan. I used to wear Dallas Cowboys stuff and root for them until I was about the age of five. Many of my friends back when I was little were fans of their own team. I thought about it, and I figured that being a fan of your own team that is not your dad's is a trait of being a grown up. I went to my dad and said "I want to be a big boy now. This means that I want to be a fan of my own team".
My dad laughed at this and agreed to show me the logos of all the teams in the NFL. I looked through the logos and tried to find a team that nobody I knew was a fan of. My favorite animal is a dolphin, so this was destiny. I told my dad "this logo looks so cool. I want to be a fan of this team".
For the past decade I have been following the Miami Dolphins. I love my Dolphins, even though they are one of the most inconsistent teams in the NFL. I will be a Dolphins fan for the rest of my life.
