Football affects more than just the fans around the world that like to watch that specific team. NFL football teams seem to be the face of city. People know Foxboro Massachusetts because of the New England Patriots. Because of this team people want to visit the Boston area more and more. Not only that but sports in general generate many different types of stores and restaurants that help the city generate more revenue so that the city is better off. More business more tax dollars for the city.
There are several examples of business that either teams or specific players on the team’s start that people go to just because they are fans of the team or player. For example Big Ben Roethlisberger started a burger joint in Pittsburg call Big Ben’s Burgers. This restaurant is no different than your typical burger joint but because Ben started and owns the restaurant and can be seen there, hundreds of people flow in each day and eat all of his food. You take a simple burger joint and add a pro football player and it turns into a big hit.
Restaurants are just one source that is affected y these players. The colors of teams are becoming seen nationally around the country just because of their sporting event. Not all cities use NFL football but most do. For instance, the Kansas City Chiefs colors are red and yellow. People see them play all the time and they begin to associate the city with the team’s colors. Artists are associating their music with the cities there from by the colors of the city. A lot of young kids have heard the song “Black and Yellow” by Wiz Khalifa. This song is about his home town Pittsburg.
A more popular song around here is a song called Red and Yellow by Irv da Phenom and B Double E. These guys are to Kansas City Boys trying to make a rap career but they use the chiefs t connects with other people because people recognize it. Please look at the video below and it will show how the chiefs impact the city of Kansas City and this man’s rap career.
