Hilarious Football Fan Photography

The Depressing Bronco Fan Photographs Provide Comic Relief

The Super Bowl is one of the most highly anticipated sporting events of the year, and in honor of last night's Bronco loss, Tom Pennington and Getty Images have provided a series of depressing Bronco fan photographs. The most famous photograph is "the crying Broncos Kid" who pretty much became the face of the 2014 Super Bowl capturing the emotions felt by Broncos Fans. The crying Bronco kid is pictured sobbing over the brutally devastating blowout game, while his father checks his cell phone. The photo went viral over night and along with it came a slew of depressing fan photos from the big game.

Depressing Bronco fan photographs include fans crying sweet tears of defeat, fans with painfully anguished faces and even some sleeping fans who just gave up on their favorite team altogether. The Super Bowl captures are momentously reflective of how Broncos fans were feeling all across the globe, and now light humored photos provide comic relief for all.
