I gave my browns fan friend shit for signing kareem hunt and trading for watson, and used to laugh at the Bengals 15 years ago with half their defense arrested.

But then I remember not really thinking about Ben’s stuff too hard, James Harrison DV, Antonio Brown stuff, and now Ryan Shazier cheating.

I’m not some gossip monger i just want to watch football. But at some point these guys are role models and what not with a lot of power in their reach and voice.

How do yinz think about this kind of thing? Does it affect who your fans of or do you separate the person from their sport performance?

    It’s like actors:

    I enjoy most Tom cruise movies but I’ll admit the dude is super weird.

    I root for the Steelers but I can admit that Ben had a questionable past (seems like he has it together now) along with the guys you mentioned. It sucks but just because you’re a fan of the team doesn’t mean you have to revere these players.
