An open letter to Browns' ownership
Dear Cleveland Browns ownership,
For several decades, there has been a Super Bowl. Before those times, there was a dominant team in football that won championship after championship.
Since those days, there has been a sick drought completely bereft of even an attempt at a Lombardi Trophy.
The Cleveland Browns fans, despite this drought, have shown your team loyalty rivaling the likes of the Bears or the Packers fans.
In spite of this loyalty, you as the ownership have done nothing to show your teams fan base that you want to win a Lombardi Trophy.
We, as loyal Browns fans, deserve better than you are giving us.
When Art Modell ripped the Browns from us, we were angry, but we waited. Not long after, we were rewarded with our patience and loyalty with a new Browns franchise. It has been over a decade now, and we are still as bad, if not worse, than we were when we reappeared with Ty Detmer as our QB.
Yet, you make ineffective trades and coaching changes. You couldn't do better than Mangini? Really? You couldn't get the browns a decent offensive and defensive line?
You owe us Browns ownership. People do not want to spend hard earned money in this economy on a team that the ownership clearly does not have any real interest in making into a Super Bowl contender. Fix this now, lest your hubris in taking your team's fans for granted will come back to haunt you and you stop selling seats.
Regards,
A Browns fan who has finally had enough
