In fact, I kind of like him. He gets railed for being "cheap" but that's how he stays rich. He constantly votes in favor of what is good for the Bengals and not good for the league, often times being the only opposing vote in owner's meetings. But mostly, he is true to Cincinnati and would never move the team to a more profitable city. I can't think of another owner who would not have packed their bags and taken the team elsewhere in the 90's when the stadium was 3/4s empty for every game. Sure, he was putting a crappy product on the field, but so were a lot of other owners. When they couldn't sell tickets, they sold and moved the team. MB did not, and he deserves some thanks for that.
So many reported cases of how he pathetically run program through the years.
There were so many reports of not just cheap, but embarrassingly bad operations. Look at the number of players that had major issues.
I was asked to donate to the plane that flew over the stadium. It was bad. There were multiple articles written about his terribleness. I dont see how any fan that was decently informed doesnt have total disdain for the way he ran the team. I'll never be a MB fan just just because he didnt move the team.
