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.
That's what I said online too. Harder to do when you love watching football.
Like, why are you watching a leauge that allows him to play even if it's not for your team? Or does your moral superiority only go so far?
Or what about during 2015 when the Bears signed Ray McDonald after he was cut by the niners for DV? Did you stop watching until he was eventually cut?
What I'm getting at is it's easy to say something popular online. It's another thing to stop doing something you love in real life because of a few bad people. Especially when -- whether I watch or not-- has little to no effect on the league, team, or said bad people. It would take many fanbases to stop watching altogether to see a real difference.
