“You’re a Browns fan (sorry)? I assume you’re an Indians/Guardians fan.”
Very old nickname, not quite accurate. The Browns are the league punching bag. Along with the Lions, they are the perpetual door mats of the league, pure and simple, losers.
I used to be a big Indians fan, but with the politicization of sports, I’m more of a casual fan. I’m not butt hurt over the name change, but it’s just one more indicator of the lousy Cleveland baseball team ownership. I’m sure they caved just to sell more gear. Meanwhile, any time they get a really talented player, they trade him off. The name change was unnecessary and decouples me from memories of rooting for an often awful team.
Oh I get you. Just that in normal sane society, you might be that fan.
Browns have really been doing better and I pull for them a lot. Technically I’m a Raven fan but married to Steeler fan so I really like to dig into them since they can be so obsessed.
But yes, I’ve even abandoned horse racing because of all this virtue-signaling. Football still important to my sad lonely mom so it kind of comes up all the time anyway.
