I truly, truly wish the team would just go bankrupt and die so fans like you don't have to suffer anymore.
My insane take is that the Browns really ceased to exist as we know them around 1995, and the NFL as whole stopped "existing" in the same manner around the same time.
This is not just a Browns thing, but they're almost a symbol of the league selling out in favor of trying to reach some weird sunbelt/sec markets that generally are more loyal to their college programs. (Saints, and Panthers being the lone exceptions). Would anyone be..."sad" if the Jaguars moved at this point? Fuck no. Their fans would probably go put on Falcons (another "meh" franchise but with a bit more history), Dolphins, and Bucs (same as the Falcons) jerseys then it would be the end of it. But that's the sort of horseshit greed we're dealing with here.
Honestly I don't know what I want anymore. I do feel the same emotions but...as a football fan? The Browns are sadly my team over every other team you could throw at me. I know people love OSU, and that's cool. But my ties to them are limited. My diploma doesn't say "OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY" on it, so therefore I feel a bit "limited" in my connection to them. Hell, the only reason I even feel the least bit connected to Purdue is because of my family lineage there and almost attending it.
I view the Browns as an asset to this city's image. In theory..they're supposed to represent a blue collar city, an area with a great pro, college and high school history, and some sort of pride relating to those. In practice? Well, they make us all look like incompetent losers, and they bring down the confidence in this city immensely.
If I were Roger Goddell? I would be kinda saddened at how awful and backwards this franchise is for the league. You know why? Because this should be one of those "print money" franchises like the Packers, Steelers, Vikings, etc. Instead...they're a fucking punchline.
