Dallas Texans

[BoltWalt]

Are there any old school Dallas Texans fans still following the Chiefs? I know it is unlikely but I was just wondering. Would anybody believe such a fan if he made such a claim?

I don't know, are there any old Los Angeles Rams fans around?
How about St Louis Cardinals fans? Any of those still around?

I believe I met a guy in KC that was a fan back when they were the Dallas Texans, did I believe him? Why not?

Let's go back a little farther than that, even. Before the St. Louis Cardinals became the Arizona Cardinals, they were the Chicago Cardinals They made that first move in 1960, 3 years before I was born, so no, I don't remember that. The Dallas Texans became The Kansas City Chiefs in the year I was born, 1963, so we're the same age! I don't remember that move either, obviously.

But I do remember the St. Louis Cardinals, LA Rams, Baltimore Colts, Houston Oilers (who are now the Tennessee Titans), The Oakland then LA and now Oakland again Raiders and the Cleveland Browns who are now the Baltimore Ravens.

Well.....Can't say I am a fan from the days of the Dallas Texans, but when I became a Chiefs fan in the the late '60's (probably '68) I was plenty proud of the fact that we had been the Texans.

Yes. There are.

Are there any Los Angeles Charger fans left?

I don't know, the Bolts were there for one year and the team was not supported much at all. I am certain there are people still alive in LA who attended Chargers games in the Collesium, but considering it was over 53 years ago and the team moved south due to the lack of support from the LA market after one year it is very unlikely that many kept up their fanship.

I was never a fan of the Texans from Dallas, I only know Chiefs in Kansas City! But I am proud of the history of the franchise, and the intelligence of the founding owner of the Chiefs to have made the decision in the early years, to find a true home for the Chiefs!
