Do You Support Positivity?

The latter part of the name stands for the heartbeat of our city. The former is a reflection of a potential messiah for the hungriest fan base in America. The Browns signify the collective priority of Cleveland fans, LeBron's Cavs define what the cities priority ought to be.

The Browns have always and will always be valued the most by the fan base. Yet, the Browns organization consistently leaves an unconditionally-loyal fan base out in the cold. Among the 32 NFL teams, few fail more consistently than ours. Even though the team is on the right path with "ManKokinis" at the helm, another playoff-less season likely awaits. Stop and take two minutes of personal reflection on the Cleveland Browns.

If you are in your mid-20's or younger then honestly consider how many times this team has made you feel good in your lifetime. Were you coherent enough to remember the Steelers lone failure at Cleveland Browns Stadium? Do you recall the Hail Mary to KJ in New Orleans? How about the Monday Night Football massacre that left a Super Bowl champion reeling? These wonderful memories are still overshadowed by an agonizing decade of repeated failures. Even minimal success against the Steelers would serve as enough of a reprieve to excite Brown's fans during these trying times.

The reality, fans of the brown and orange, is that of the three teams in this city this organization is the one that gets a free pass. Fans continue unparalleled support even though a Super Bowl will not be a possibility anytime soon. Does that mean it's not coming for many moons? Not necessarily but it's entirely possible.

For those that only see Cleveland and not Browns, Indians or Cavs: you get it. If winning a championship for any ranks above your preference for one; then we speak the same language. Do the Cavs, the clear third priority in this town, garner the bulk of your attention currently? If you're feeling this thought process then you catch my drift. If not then like Braylon you have dropped the ball.

Cleveland fans have endured agony for the better part of five decades but that is no excuse to be bitter. If the "woe is me attitude," associated with Cleveland is a part of the fabric of your being then I pity you. Like all fans, I get emotional, angry and lose sight of what's important sometimes. That is natural but should not be a commonality for anyone. At the end of the day, I make sure to smile after each disheartening moment. I recognize that the special day will come, and all the crushing playoff blows will make our championship celebration legendary. If you don't believe Cleveland's sweet day is on the horizon, then why even watch?
