I do it to piss you off.. its obviosly working,

Stay gay!

I'm not sure why you think that you showing off your ignorance would anger me. There is nothing that shows how stupid and uncreative you are more than the use of derogatory gay references and the idiotic nicknames that seems to be prevalent over actual discussion. I am just trying to help you out, you are coming off as a small-minded, uneducated bigot. If that is who you are, then all I can do is have pity for you and quit wasting my breath.

I don't know. It upset me greatly. This is a black eye on all Cleveland fans. We were at a game earlier this year and I can tell you that Cleveland Stadium was FAR more kid friendly than the Meadowlands, Philly or Foxboro.

Having gone to Jets' games with my brother, that stadium is insane. Per one security guy, Jets fans get into twice as many fights as Giant fans and half the time, they're fighting amongst themselves. These are not environments to be taking an eight year old to. I've seen Jets fans make eight year old Dolphins fans cry. I'm sick and damned tired hearing about how people pay ticket prices and can act how they want, blah, blah, blah.

This creep needs to be legless by noon....

Jets games are no treat. But I have taken my son, now 15, to every home game since he was 5. Never had a problem other than cursing. Jets fans aren't Saints not saying that. This is a league wide problem, was in Indy last year and having a 14 year old called the F word for wearing a Namath jersey is just crazy. Had stuff thrown on him. 14 is older than 8 and what that guy did to the kid (tackling him) is criminal.

The thing is the NFL really won't do much about it since so much money comes in from beer sponsors. What is the alternative, completely dry stadiums? Never.

It does suck though because one bad fan can give a black eye to the entire base.

hey we're passionate people...and while im not condoning what this man did....i urge all you other people who think its "cute" to show up at the muni lot wearing another teams jersey that you will get harassed. In a way, people ask for this to happen when they make poor decisions...i would NEVER show up at a steelers gig wearing my browns jersey...i know better than that.....these people need to stop instigating...i was tailgating last sunday and got into it with some jets fan who HAD a kid and i told him man youre lucky you have a kid with you because ill leave you alone now...lets keep it all in perspective the world is not sugar coated like we all want it to be...

WOW. Just wow.

I totally agree about wearing another teams jersey equaling getting some grief. A lot of people welcome that. But this kid was tackled as he left the stadium. And he was 8. That Dad did the responsible thing and got out of there safely. If one fan knocks the Dad out, then what?

To say that this 8 year old kid was somehow instigating is just a brutal statement. Football is a game, he wasn't burning the American flag for crying out loud.

first of all....i never said it was ok to tackle a kid...im just saying If i drove to iraq and started waving an american flag id pry get shot.....and by the way dude you are such a xxxxing instigator can you please not right now im so sick of defending myself to people who dont wanna hear what im ACTUALLY saying vs how they want to interpret it

WOW again.

What's sad is even if they come out and say it was a lie the press wouldn't even print anything about it.

The NY press doesn't have the families identity. The Jets won't give it to them but the Jets are hosting the kid this Sunday and giving him a VIP experience at the stadium.

Max, I have been to the meadowlands many times and wore the opposing teams jersey.. I would always get heckled and beer thrown at one of my buddies.. and then have to hear the chant g a y s

Gays gays gays..

Jets fans are aholes, a lot of new york fans are.

It happens everywhere. Just never heard of it happening to a kid before. Like I said earlier everyone says Colts fans are the best and I sat as my 14 year was called the f word, one guy from another row wanted to get near him (not sure why).

This is an NFL problem and NY fans never burn down the city like happens in Philly, Detroit etc when their teams win.

This is absolutely classic!

A certified asshat posts that a "Cleveland" fan calls a "Cleveland" radio station to say the story isn't true and that is supposed to be the end of it?

Regardless of "intent"..... if a drunk idiot injures a little kid the story should have been about that guy getting the shit beat out of him unless he sobered right up and took care of the dad and the kid!

Only you Riffer, and Zombo, could justify this!

Did Ben absolutly rape those two girls?

[ATENEARS]

But did Ben rape those two girls he was accused of raping?

Do you believe the victims or did you respond to and perhaps even post what you thought was the whole story regarding possible sleazy backgrounds of the girls or other intent?

Please tell us ole Chosen one!

There are plenty of great Browns fans, just like all those who came out in protest about this situation, and there's those of you who overshadow them!

When you have ALL the facts in this case, and not some one sided story from a fan of another team, you can lecture Browns fans. Until then don't come to our board and start talking shit on this subject when the situation is out of your realm of understanding exactly what happened. There most likely isn't one m-fer here who is a Browns fan that would let this kind of stuff stand. Most of us have kids or have friends with kids.

So STFU with your constant schoolgirl lecturing. We know how to police our own.

Guess we should remind holier than thou Steelers fans of this little episode a few years back regarding the kid that wore a Broncos jersey to class during the Friday before that AFC Championship game!

I remember when that happend and all these fat squeeler trolls on here kept on claiming the girls were gold diggers and whores even though they had no idea what really happened. Now these same people want to come here and tell us were wrong and the kids mom who wasn't even there is right. Pretty pathetic. It's times like this when you can really tell which troll was spoiled growing up and which ones weren't.

Classic Cleveland sports fan! One of your very own injures a kid because he can't hold his liquor and most Browns fans are appalled, but then there's the good old group who have to find a way to make it untrue, just like they do with football, and then respond by referencing rumors and ugliness about someone else.....all in attempt to ignore the truth.

And you guys wonder why Browns fans are considered the scourge of the NFL?

There are plenty of great Browns fans, just like all those who came out in protest about this situation, and there's those of you who overshadow them!

Stone, quit being an asshole. Everyone on this board is appalled at the thought of something happening the way the kid's mom described it. Here's why I find it hard to believe that it happened exactly how she said it did.

1 - The kid was walking with his dad and got hit from behind. They might have been holding hands, but either way, I'm betting that both of them did not see who hit them.

2 - When the kid is asked what happened, if he didn't see who hit him, and ended up hitting the concrete, then being tackled is how he'd probably describe it.

3 - The majority of fans of ANY team in ANY city would be absolutely disgusted if some drunken prick straight up tackled an 8 year old child. You can see how defensive we all got in this thread. There would have to be some witnesses that would've done something about it. Get the police on the idiot, make sure the kid is okay, etc.

4 - If the dad just booked it with his kid after he hit the ground crying, then there's going to be no evidence from him of people trying to help him.

[steelershittypros]

The ironic or disgusting thing in all of this is that not one single Browns fan identified the guy who beat up a little 8 year old kid. I guess we don't have stand up people in Cleveland. Not one single person has come forward to turn in this child beater.

I'm honestly surprised that teacher didn't get fired. I'm going into the teaching profession and there is a very strict list of can get away with and can not get away with. Hell if you have a tattoo that shows just a tiny bit, good luck getting a job. Hell on of my high school teachers got suspended for just calling a girl a bitch because she wouldn't stop talking back to him, and this guy gets away with treating a student like that and keeps his job. This isn't even a "He's a Steeler fan, the worst should have happened to him" thing. Just wow.
