How the Philadelphia Eagles are Saving My Relationship with Football

Like many fans, I've had an up-and-down relationship with football during the past few years. In light of recent discoveries about CTE and brain injuries, along with the fact that the NFL has known of these dangers for far longer than they've let on, I've found it more difficult to stay connected to the league. But then, I am also a lifelong fan of the Philadelphia Eagles and this coming Sunday, they'll take a crack at winning their first Super Bowl title. Their improbable run has presented an interesting conundrum that I'm sure other fans are also grappling with at the moment: loving your team, but feeling distanced from the sport itself. In any case, I wrote a post on Medium (linked below) tackling this very issue. Take a peek - would love to hear what you think!
