Future Fans was born when one of those iconic sports moments happened...but there was no one there to share it with. It was the 2022 AFC Championship game, and the Cincinnati Bengals were about to earn their first trip to the Super Bowl in 33 years. Mike, a lifelong Bengals superfan, watched nervously alone, wishing his then 5-year-old daughter would watch with him.

Mike had spent countless hours trying to teach her about football, and she knew the players and the fight song, but he couldn’t get her to watch the game. In that moment, he wondered whether there was a better way to get her engaged as a fan, and what that might mean for their relationship together.
