Browns fans outside of Ohio
-
To be honest, I meet a lot of americans that are generally passing through - on placement, internship, studying for 6 months or a year or so. Whenever I tell them I'm a browns fan, the general reaction is, "oh man, I feel for you" followed by "you could pick any team, why them?!"

it takes a special person to become a bona fide fan

Misawa?

Plus a video on the Manziel signing.

Wow. It's very "school girl" to me that people are fans of a specific player, and so much so, that they become "fans" of the team he plays for, simply and only because he plays for them. So what happens when he doesn't pan out, or does pan out but moves on? Reminds me of the videos of the tweener girls crying uncontrollably because they just saw One Direction walk by on the way to their hotel........ Very weird to me, but I'm sure it's because I'm old.

My wife and I have Browns helmet light strands strung out on our RV awning, and we have traveled all over the country. Lots of people have commented on how cool the lights are, and think its great we back our Browns through thick (and mostly) thin. I usually reference the '86 Browns team as my favorite, while preaching that Dixon & Matthews should be in Canton, and the prevent D prevented joy- In my mind we were the best team that season. Most sports fans I have met in other states are just indifferent about the Browns, no rooting interest either way.
Funny story, even if its painful- last summer we went to Ireland. A bartender asked me where I was from, and he said "the Browns suck." I asked him how he knew that, and he said a guy he knows is from Cleveland and always cries about the struggles. He also said he only knows about 5 teams... the 49ers, Eagles, Bears, Steelers, & Browns.

Because potatoes make lousy bait...
