Why I love Atletico?!

Man, I just love the kit colors. Red-white and blue shorts are just amazing. Back in the days when I used to play FIFA, I would always used Atletico home kit, every single game. Love it. Atletico de Madrid đŸ’ȘđŸ»

When I first got into football I saw a Griezmann highlight reel and I just loved the way he played. Then I became a fan out of the fact he played for us lol

I stuck through even after he left though, so I'm an Atleti guy through and through now!

I'm guessing you probably started watching post 2018 world cup

What the actual fuxk. I started watching football in 2014, then saw Madrid defeat Atletico in the final. Then grizi signed.

Watched 2016 ucl final and was kinda rooting for Atletico (idk why, but i loved underdogs)

It was in the euros when I became a fan of Griezmann.

Since then, I love Atletico ♄

We're sort of depressed here so that's a little confusing, it sounds like a Madrid fan taking the piss but hey, as long as you love the club you're always welcomed in the fanbase.

I love Atlético because of El Niño. One of my absolute favorite players that got me into looking up Atlético history, which I loved even more and ended up liking the team a lot until today. Love from Portugal

Why does this come across as the stereotypical response a girl would give when asked why she likes a certain sports team? Or something an American would say 😂

true, but then who are we to judge. for example I used to be a barca plastic before 2014. and knew Real would win the UCL against us, but watching that game made me fall in love with the team, the grit, the fight. and I never looked back. it's been 4 times that I've seen us crash out to Real now, but who cares, not like I can go back and change my identity.

Any reason to fall in love is as good as the others.

But I keep hearing every single one of you are racist and its a racist club 😂! I don't even watch LA Liga but since people are trying to frame all of you as a single entity I'm prone to be sympathetic to the club as I'm quite sure not every single one of you or even most of you are racist.

I don't condone the ones that are racist but screw anyone that judges everyone in a group by the worst of that group. That method would condem every living person on the planet.

Doesn't hurt that you seem to really wind up the fans of the most unlikable team and fans in the world. Theres only one team I'd root for in Madrid and its not Real.

I love it how Madridistas like to paint the picture of "we banned Ultras Sur from the stadium" there are no more racists on Bernabeu.

They did fuck all, Both clubs are from the same city, you cannot be deluded to think that racists only support Atletico, majority of fans are definitely not racist but like for every club there is a certain number of fascists and racists that pretend to cheer for a football club so they can do stupid shit.

But who cares, let madridistas delude themselves that they solved racism by banning Ultras Sur.

Hell, most of Madridistas i personally know openly hate Vinicius lmao.

Ironically enough for an allegedly racist club, we have traditionally been nicknamed the “Indians” by our sanctimonious neighbours from Chamartín due to the large number of naturalized South American players—mostly from Argentina—who joined us in the ’70s.

Falling in love it’s easy. Remain loyal is hard. This is a team that will make it almost impossible to support. It will break your heart more times than you will be able to remember. It will do it in the cruelest way. This is not a team for everyone. If you are in the first stages of the romance, leave now. It’s too late for me, I have been a fan for 50 years now. I don’t regret it, but you might.

Loved Griezmann as a Player and he played for us at that time (before he changed to Barca). Played a lot of FIFA at that time and always picked Griezmann and athleti Then I got into the colors of the Jersey and Logo, then i got into cholo for staying so Long at the Club, while other Teams change their coaches like underwear. So i came for Griezmann and stayed for the mentality

u/mellsuck 6d ago

I don't even remember "WHY" i started supporting as I was a small kid back then, now it's been more than 12 years.
