Browns fans protest outside stadium, set Deshaun Watson jersey on fire after Myles Garrett news

https://www.cleveland19.com/2025/02/04/browns-fans-protest-outside-stadium-set-deshaun-watson-jersey-fire-following-myles-garrett-news/#

(snip)

Some fans felt so strongly that they went further than just ripping Watson’s jersey, they set it on fire.

“We had a great thing going, and it was ruined all by Watson,” said Baughman.

These diehard sports fans say Cleveland deserves better, and they’re sick of waiting for next year.

“I’ve said it every single year,” said Crowley. “I mean, like I said, I’m 20. My dad’s 52, he’s said it every year. My grandpa’s 77, he’s said it every year. There’s always next year. And there’s never been that next year where we even made the Super Bowl, much less winning. So at this point, it’s just like, yeah, there’s next year, but we know it’s already going to be a disappointment. Like, what’s even the point anymore?”

The Haslams are billionaires and huge trump supporters. They want us peasants to pay for a new stadium when they could pay for it themselves. Like most republicans, they have no moral compass. Bringing Deshaun Watson in was a tipping point. Just like the idiot Nutting that owns the Pittsburgh Pirates…horrible people who ruin nice things for everyone.

and you know, Haslam doesn't give a damn. If fans boycott he can try to move the franchise again. He's already looking to the suburbs.

He is a heinous creature. Cleveland's own Trump.

They just want to make more money and have us pay for it. It is heartbreaking for the fans.

but they must be doing something right.

The Guardians are remarkable.

It filters down from the top.

The opportunity for creating an exciting, retail and entertainment venue at Browns' stadium is sitting right next door -- the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Bring the two together. It could be epic.
