No one is telling you that your opinion that they SHOULD be considered the same franchise is invalid. That's your opinion, and it's fine. You could point to the Oilers and Titans being the same franchise after a move and then name change a few years later. But you're attempting to state that the Ravens and Browns are the same franchise, which is incorrect.

Chill your tits and get a grip. 

He did no such thing.

He bought the Browns, moved them to Baltimore, and renamed them to avoid a lawsuit, which I just posted a link to the NFL stating such, which you said the NFL saying it makes it reality.  If you change your name to Dave, does that change the fact that you were initially Pat?  Does your history change?

Everything the Browns did from their beginning evolved and resulted in what the Ravens are now.  Without the Browns, the Ravens never exist; without the first Browns team, the new team could still exist and be the same.

It's fine, though, believe whatever.
