Thoughts On Today's Parade
-
No. The components of the analogy are the same. There's someone/thing you love. There's a failure. And there's you mocking the person for it. Simple as that. Yes, family is tighter than a football team. Yes, a miscarriage is worse than 0-16. But the point stands that to mock someone you love to make yourself feel better about their failure is idiotic.
Do your future wife a favor. Don't propose until you've changed significantly. Try to explain this conversation to the women in your Sunday school class and listen to the reactions. Then maybe you will get my point.

Some people feel like they are the only sane person in a insane world. The truly insane are certainly a scary bunch.

I was late to the party. Are we comparing mocking your old lady over having a miscarriage to airing your grievances about a bad football team?
Wowza.

Yeah if my friend did it I would mock him for being dramatic and comparing a personal tragedy to a team playing like garbage.

True. If you remember when Cleveland lost the team in 1995 the public outcry was HUGE! Houston on the other hand had near zero public support when they lost the Oilers, there were more media at their rally than fans.
Public interest is important even with a 1-31 team effort.

Im glad they had the parade..
This organization sucks and the fans still stick by them..
What other winless teams get parades in their respective cities by diehard fans?

I think if they had concentrated more on the parade being a Protest of the deplorable condition of this team...it would have had more merit. They did not emphasize that point of the parade enough.
Get Hue the fuyuck out of town....but not until he has been baptized in Lake Erie in January.
Get Jimmy the fuyuck out of town. Make that trade where he gets the Tennessee Tits and leaves us alone....with whatever new owner he can trade with here.

per some of the interviews - it seems that some of the fans showed up to say despite the no win season, they still wanted to come out to support their team and show they would never quit. Many others were just ridiculing the Browns for letting them down, etc etc etc.It was a disaster, in my book. The "parade" was a disgrace overall - the Browns have a lack of players to be competitive, not a desire to lose and disappoint the fans. Give the Browns a legit qb, wr's and a few db's....and the Browns are a very, very competitive, winning football team.
The parade was a loser. Mocking the last season was the last thing fans should have been doing.
That wasn't what the Parade was about. Of course the players tried as hard as they could to win a game or two- but they didn't. If they want to think the Parade was directed at their lack of effort- it's wrong.

Shelton made a good point. If this parade changes even 1 FA's mind about coming to Cleveland then these fans did themselves and the rest of us fans a major disservice.
We'll never know for sure, but this was an embarrassment that could make the FO's job even harder. Regardless of the "intent" of the parade, you cannot change how others react to it. Players will see this and say "I don't want to go there and be embarrassed by those fans".
A lesson to you all (from a behavior specialist), you cannot chose how others perceive your actions. Same as what happened with the anthem protest. You CANNOT choose others' interpretations. If kneeling is disrespectful in somebody's opinion, telling them your "intent" does not make the action less disrespectful in that person's view. If a player views the parade as an embarrassment, you cannot change their opinion by saying it was about "passion" and "sticking it to the FO." Sorry, just not how the world works...
Saying we should have a 0-16 parade is one thing, kind of funny; however, actually doing it was just stupid...

I'd say the odds of having another Parade next year approach zero. Will just the parade affect our ability to sign free agents? That will be a minor factor, MHO. The 0-16 $hitshow will be 10X more important in guys minds about wanting to play here. Especially any top guys who not only want to get to the playoffs, but win a Super Bowl in their career. I think LeBron got it right.

That's a riot. The FANS are scaring away FA's. Man that's funny stuff.
I suppose it was the FANS that made Kyle Shanahan wash his hands of the Browns organization.......it was the FANS that drove Alex Mack away. It's the FANS and this parade that have had potential draft picks stating they don't want to come to Cleveland.

...except I highly, highly doubt this is going to change any FA's minds in regards to coming here. If a FA was opposed to crazy fans doing stupid Sheet that eliminates about 50% of the teams off the top. Players care about $$$ first, and fit a close second.
You know why we don't get FA's? Because the team Shmucking sucks and has for a decade. We're stuck with the Kenny Britt's of the world until that changes, not because some dude dressed up like a T-Rex. Get over yourselves people, it comes off poorly.
