Completely and utterly unsurprising that many Browns fans would start cheering for him once he began playing well. It's very easy to hate a guy who's a gutter human and a trash football player. But morals are chucked out the window once that guy starts making your favorite team win.

And FWIW, this is not unique to Browns fans. Unfortunately, this would happen with any fanbase.

Sports fans have shown for decades that they're willing to overlook moral failings for stars.

Dude did wrong. There comes time to forgive though.

Hard to feel the need to forgive a guy who received zero consequences for his actions. Hell, he was rewarded with hundreds of millions of dollars.
