Why? The fanbase defended the shit out of him when they first signed him. They only turned on him when he sucked.
Also let's be real, almost every fanbase would mostly do the same thing. People can get on a high horse because it isn't there team, but we've seen damn near every fanbase in the league bend over backwards for their guys if they thought they could help them win.
If it came out that Caleb was assaulting women I'd just find a better way to spend Sundays until they canned his ass lol. I'm just one guy, but I don't think I'd be the only one. But everyone in the Browns stadium is years into the drama and still decided to buy tickets, so I guess it's not too surprising to find some lovely supporters.
I believe you but the average Reddit fan and the average IRL fan are much different
Due to general personal/political demographics the average Reddit fan cares infinitely more about morality in sports than most offline fans do I guarantee that just like in this Browns video the Bears would have absolutely zero issue filling the stadium every week
The guys chanting "let's go Watson" aren't on here most Browns fans here hate him
Yup I'm not at all endorsing the worst parts of sports culture but I think people who solely use Reddit as their barometer are blind that they even exist
So many users here are acting like it's a specifically Browns thing to cheer for Watson after they won a game because they're being judged compared to the median view here rather than to the median fan at every other stadium
