America’s Team?

BBS talks about how well Colts fans travel

At the end of the game, Peyton thanked the fans who’d traveled to St. Louis, the QB seemingly in awe of how many blue shoe jerseys cheered from the stands. Dwight Freeney and Kelvin Hayden called Sunday’s game a “home game.” Players were buzzing about the traveling fans all during the interviews and after game press sessions, showing sincere appreciation for fans in Colts blue on the road.

At the end of the day, does it matter who thinks what team is “America’s Team?” No. I personally don’t believe any one football team truly is “America’s Team,” despite what corporate media and the Dallas Cowboys want to shove down our throats. But what this new wave of traveling Colts fans is showing us “old timers” is that the fan culture surrounding Colts football has changed… permanently.
