5 Reasons Being A Patriots Fan Is Amazing

The greatest team of this generation and I am glad to be a part of it.

In This Article:

The New England Patriots are easily the most hated team in the NFL. They win a lot of games, are always in the running for the Super Bowl, and have easily two of the greatest pillars in professional sports. The Patriots have built the franchise on doing their job and just winning.

Being a Patriots fan is an amazing feeling! Yes, there have been some lows. Losing to the Giants twice was not fun, but let me tell you the highs way outweigh the lows. Here are the 5 reasons why being a Patriots fan is amazing.

1. Tom Brady

This one is pretty obvious, we have the greatest quarterback in NFL history. I will fight anyone who tries to dispute this. Tom Brady has proved time and time again that he is the GOAT. Don't come at me with Peyton Manning.

2. The winning tradition that seems infinite 

Giphy

When the schedule comes out for Patriots fans we don't count how many wins we could have, we count the wins that we WILL have. We count 12 to 13 wins every year and that is not counting playoffs. It seems like this feeling will never end and right now its a great thought to have.

3. We relish the hate from other fan bases

Giphy

Being from Detroit, I love to hear how much people hate the Patriots. We win so much that it makes people hate us and hey I would hate us too if I wasn't already a fan. As long as we keep on winning the hate will continue to flow and that ok with me.

4. We have the greatest coach too 

Giphy

Do Your Job. That is the phrase that will always ring through my head when I hear the name Bill Bellichick. He is the greatest coach in NFL history and there is also no debate in that. Resigning from the Jets after one day changed the course of NFL history and thank goodness he came to the Patriots. All hail The Hoodie.

5. Five Super Bowl titles

The final reason is pretty simple. We have five Super Bowl titles. Yeah, I know we lost our chance at 19-0, losing to the Giants again a few years later, and getting beat by Baltimore a couple of times in the process. But, after that wave of winning the first three titles, it was worth the wait of beating Seattle and pulling off the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history against Atlanta. Kiss those rings baby.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.
