Couldn’t agree more.
If you’re an Atlanta Falcons fan, and you likely are if you’re reading this, then you have been through a lot. Depending on the year when you became a Falcons fan, you obviously may have experienced more than others.
Regardless, fans of a team which began playing football way back in 1966 have seen a lot of ups and even more downs. And loyalty does mean something, at least to ESPN’s Mina Kimes, who recently talked about her top five fanbases in the NFL and selected Falcons fans as the cream of the crop.

As you can see from the video above, Kimes really gives fans their due. Not the team, the fans.
As you know more than anyone else, the Falcons haven’t made it easy on their fans. From epic losses that boggle the mind to random events taking place off of the gridiron, it’s tough. But even then, the fans remain loyal to their dirty birds, with an approach even football analysts can’t help but admire. Just imagine how we’ll feel this year if this team is good again.
