Cincinnati Bengals fans Sammy Stickler (L) and his son Aiden.

Sammy Stickler who is a fan of the National Football League (NFL) football franchise the Cincinnati Bengals gave his son who is 11 years old Aiden Stickler his best Christmas present by taking his son to the Bengals home game versus the Denver Broncos that was played at Paycor Stadium. The father and son became famous since Sammy uploaded a video showing Aiden hugging his father since they were treated like musicians at the venue. It is nice to see a father bonding with his son by treating him to attend a football game outside of his home state in Kentucky for Christmas. Link is kcra.com/article/father...

Poor kid…suffering through life as a Bengals fan, like the rest of us.

Great story.

I know how it feels since the Saints football team had a bad year in 2024.

@Deepizzaguy — the Saints fans invented wearing paper bags over their heads in embarrassment. The Bengals are still barely alive in the playoff race. Yes, the Saints had a bad year, but they weren’t as bad as the Giants, Bears, or Panthers!

That's a great feel-good story. I'm sure the two had a great afternoon at the game.

That was a good game to go to. I watched it, and even I, a non Bengals fan, got excited about that win.

That is true since the game was pretty close after I saw the highlights.

How nice that this father wanted to spend quality time with his son. This isn't always the case.

Yes, the kid looked as though he liked it, but if my father had taken me to see a baseball, or basketball game, I would not have liked it, and I never liked football, very much either. I was never a big sports lover.

I do not care for football either. I like playing video games better than seeing a sports event in person.
