Jottings: What is Fenerbahçe?

In majority of the world, football refers to something other than helmets, yellow flags, and Tight End, as my co-worker likes to call it.

Soccer, or football, was never a big part of my sports fanaticism until the winter of 2005, when I saw a game live in Istanbul, Turkey. The team I saw was called Fenerbahçe, and I instantly fell in love with the yellow and navy, the fans, and the atmosphere of the stadium.

Indeed, Turkish football fans are great to hang around. Here is hoping that more people will take advantage of watching football games when visiting Turkey!
