Image for article titled IDIOT OF THE YEAR No. 6: Cleveland Browns and fans

It feels like we have been talking about how bad Cleveland fans have been for a long time. We were all laughing at their fans because they thought they were going to get to the top of the mountain with Baker Mayfield. They weren't as harmless as other fans, but they wouldn't throw snowballs at santa

Even though he had not taken any responsibility for the plethora of sexual assault allegations against him, Jimmy Haslam still believed that he deserved a second chance. I have to tell you thatWatson has denied all allegations against him. It was on that day that the fan base was given the freedom to embrace the baggage that came with him. He was a star quarterback in the league. Pro athletes can get away with anything if they are good enough.

The league imposed an 11-game suspension on the fans after they served it.

A typical Cleveland Browns fan who does not support sexual assault in any way will be sending an email to us, yelling "nOt aLL bROwNs fANs!" at us.

There are a lot of fans laughing, ignoring, and not objecting to what is happening around them. There are many more examples. More and more of these images show up. Ben Roethlisberger wasn't lean into by Pittsburgh. Even though the NFL has a lot of bad behavior by their teams, they don't care if the quarterback is accused of sexually assaults women. Don't stop running those commercials during the Super Bowl.

There is a lot of blame to go around on this one, not the least of which is that the NFL was afraid to suspend one of its stars for an entire season or more. The Idiots of the Year Academy don't like fans because they don't have to do this. It's possible that you could have pushed back against your owner. You could have said no to the Cleveland team. Had you done so, management would have had to explain to fans why they had to have a team accused of sexual harassment by more than 30 women. This isn't something for you. There is a look.

You didn't make any money selling your souls.
