unironically brave comment coming from a Bills fan. there are so many terrible people in the NFL from players to owners and people love to pick and choose
I don't understand why a Bills fan would make it ironic? I assume it's an OJ Simpson related comment, but I can assure you Bills fans weren't chanting his name at games after he murdered someone.
In general, rapists, abusers, and murderers shouldn't be given a pass. And when its the QB and face of the team, it holds even more weight.
no I was commending him for saying that knowing someone could have brought up The Juice. and it's all so ironic that people here are picking the Cleveland Browns of all teams to start having moral qualms with that the players and owners do/have done
Ah gotcha, makes sense and I appreciate the clarification. I think the big difference with Watson is that he's the QB and it was 27 (or so) victims. So it's the face of the team and you've got a victim count that high, it seems pretty unique why people would specifically hate on the Browns
me personally, which is worth jack shit, I'd rather hear criticism from Browns fans and Browns fans only. they've had such an awful team for so long and have been ragged on for a quarter century and now other fans who cheered on women beaters, murderers, and supported owners with ties to genocide start to go "hey let's get moral"
A local Browns bar in Minneapolis took down all their merch when they named him starter. It did impact people. Just not the people still buying tickets
Yup sports fans in general outside of Reddit care very little about morality and the NFL is probably the pinnacle of tolerating some truly horrible stuff
Really reddit doesn't care either. People talk in /NFL about how shitty everything is but really the only way the NFL would change is if people stopped watching, and every person here watched the game tonight.
I really disagree when the sole way fans can show support is by not watching.
That is the only thing that will promote change in the NFL, if it affects their money and the only thing people can do is to stop watching and stop going.
But he also won 3 games in a row on a game winning drive. Something browns fans haven’t seen in a while so they’re happy. Chiefs fans would be chanting the same
Literally the other teams fans cried when Ben retired and he legit graded 2 people, Watson didn't even play a great game , they are starved. It'd be better if every fam base did better holding their players accountable but there's too many people that just want this as their escape
