Our Story
FanSided was founded in 2007 by two brothers with a love for the Kansas City Chiefs and a desire to change how fans talk about sports. What began as a single blog is now one of the fastest-growing networks of fandom-focused websites and a part of Minute Media’s trusted family of brands (Sports Illustrated, The Player’s Tribune, Mental Floss, 90Min).
