I started watching professional football when my son started playing football when he was seven. (2009) After watching the first couple games, it didn’t make sense to me! I was just seeing little kids bumping into each other for the whole game. When I was in high school, I knew all of the rules and positions. After watching the first Lions’ game, it all came back and made sense to me! Being from Dearborn, of course, my team is the Detroit Lions! I have not known a Lions’ team without Matthew Stafford!
Given that the Lions very rarely make it to the postseason, I am a post-season bandwagoner! I have become a HUGE football fan and when Sean was younger, he was OK with being a bandwagoner with me. Now, he just makes fun of me for buying a shirt. I choose my team on Wildcard Weekend and it will change once my desired team is eliminated. I usually make my choice after the NFC championship game.
There have been times when I go along with an AFC team, but I like to stick with in our conference. After the NFC championship game, I ordered my shirt to have it for Super Bowl Sunday. I ordered my shirt after the NFC championship game and because of the high demand, it was back ordered and shipped to my house two days later than was expected. I checked the tracking on the package and it is not due to get to my house until Wednesday! The Super Bowl is this Sunday!
I called customer service twice and was hoping to get some kind of discount because if my team loses, what is the point of having the shirt? I was told that since that item has already shipped, there is nothing they can do. That really stinks! I’ve thought about it and for the Super Bowl, I will just have to wear my GMFB shirt. I LOVE that shirt!!!
I’m not sure what I will do when my shirt comes. I ordered a really cool one but I’m not sure what to do if they lose. The second customer service representative I spoke with reiterated what the first representative told me. I can send back the package unopened with “Return to Sender” on it and get a full refund. I still rock my Eagles Super Bowl Champions shirt from last year so I’m not sure what I’m going to do!
When Sean was younger, I was still working and it was not a problem to get both of us a bandwagon shirt. But now, being on a fixed income, I’m not sure what I’m going to do. I am all in on my team for the Super Bowl and I guess the outcome will determine if I keep or send my shirt back.
Things to think about! Because I am usually a jinxer of the Super Bowl, (If you are a true football fan, you already know what kind of shirt I got!) I’m not going to say what kind of shirt I got until AFTER the Super Bowl! When I let you guys know if I send it back for a refund or not. It is really cool so regardless, maybe I’ll just keep it!
