Quote:That makes no sense. We still have that history. It happened in Cleveland. The same fans expereienced it. Hell the stadium is even in the same spot as the last. People just say that to be rude and to it take away from what was accomplished. It's really annoying and just a trolling tactic. Before you trash our city think of how you feel everytime someone trashes Jax or talks about how they can't wait for them to be the LA Jaguars.

 

What makes no sense is how a team-ownership, front office, players, equipment, etc. can completely leave Cleveland and relocate in Baltimore, not play for three full seasons, have an entirely different organization put in its place, and people act as if absolutely nothing happened.  It sounds like a comic book plot with alternate realities/timelines.

 

 

What makes no sense to me is how a football crazed place like Cleveland is supposed to be can allow it's stadium to become such a dump as Cleveland Municipal stadium did to justify Modell leaving?!?  If the Browns are king in Cleveland, didn't they deserve the state of the art facility they now play in long before Modell and the Browns left?   It's not as if they didn't win anything.  It's not as if they didn't build the proud tradition you cited a few posts ago.  Why not build the new stadium before 1999?!?  You build a new arena for the Cavs, right?  You built a new arena for the Indians, right?  Even built the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.  Why not take care of the Browns first?

 

For the record, I've no obligation nor inclination to be particularly nice to the teams of opposing teams fans, especially when fans of those teams have talked smack about us.
