I married into enemy territory and while the views (and lack of humidity) in Colorado are nice it’s been a challenge to raise my newborn into the proper fandom when he is surrounded by Broncos fans including his own mother and half of his family.

The first two times my wife tried to put him into a Broncos jersey my beautiful son crapped all over them. Which was absolutely hilarious as we’ve gotten pretty good at diaper fitting and those are basically the only outfits he’s soiled for more than a month.

Sadly, just today, my wife sneaked him into another broncos onesie I didn’t even know we had. I write about this as I am changing him into his pajamas, and putting his clean, unsoiled, broncos onesie into the dirty clothes.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could correct my sons abhorrent behavior?

For reference, he attended (in utero) the Chiefs game at Denver last year where Mahomes threw that perfect TD to McKinnon. By my unbiased measurements his kicking intensity increased notably at that and other great plays from the Chiefs so up to this point his behavior has been exemplary with regards to supporting the proper fandom.

All advice and suggestions are appreciated.

That's a hell of a predicament... you could always try surrounding him in red and yellow that isn't explicitly Chiefs to subconsciously attract him to the right side.

I married into a Bronco family as well. But we at least got to live in KC, so the kids’ fandom was reinforced by the community. My brother-in-law in Denver is also a Chiefs fan, so it’s not just me reinforcing correct behavior.

My wife is a raider. Neither of our kids like football. So the battle of sides did not work out. My advice is let the kids come to their own conclusion and support them where you can.
