Broncos fan here to praise Watt and your fanbase
In 2013 I skipped walking in my college graduation to go see Peyton effing Manning break the TD record. On the drive down from Arkansas I wondered what the stadium experience would be like. The season before I went to the Broncos vs chiefs game in November during the chiefs 2-14 season. It was dead with orange nearly outnumbering the red. Earlier that season I had gone to the game in Dallas and being an early season shootout it was absolutely electric in Jerry World.
While there was a whole lot of orange in Houston for that game I got my answer when Watt was introduced. I thought the roof was going to blow off the stadium. All I could think was they love this guy. My GF was shocked that a football player would get that kind of reaction. I don't think we give Darren McFadden half that reaction when he visits Fayetteville and he's arguably the best, most loved Razorback we've ever had come through.
This was before flooding and his recent stand for BLM and at the tailend of a 2-14 season. I didn't get the why then but I absolutely get it now and applaud you all as fans and Watt as a person.
