It's a total thought-control type of statement that people should engage their fandom the way you want. If it's a simple matter of you truly not understanding, it isn't that hard to narrow down the reasoning: people have high standards for the teams they follow, this is a message board with free flowing ideas, and people are uniquely different. These are just some reasons why it is easy to get the "why" behind people having a strong disliking for the Brown family approach to running an NFL team.
You've recently posted that you're not as supportive of Trey. He is member of the Cincinnati Bengals. Using your own logic, I could claim that if you aren't pro-Trey, one of the guys we actually watch on Sundays, as opposed to ownership, then "I don't even understand why you root for this team." I wouldn't make that statement because it's nonsensical. I'm guessing you're already swirling thoughts around as to why it's different to oppose the player and not the ownership when the only difference is owners have longevity with a franchise that exceeds the player's time with the team.
Fine, whatever, think people are total dumbasses for disliking the Brown family way of doing NFL business, but's not hard to understand.
It's not thought control because I never told anyone how to be a fan. I simply asked if you hate the owners that much why would you root for their team? I have a disdain for several owners in the NFL and other sports, and if I lived in one of those cities I would still not be a fan due to the owners. That's me, I never said it had to be anyone else. And I never said the Bengals FO doesn't sometimes make boneheaded moves. As for Trey, he lost me simply due to his yearly demand for a raise. It's tiring. And yes, this is a message board for free flowing ideas, so some people should stop with the attacks on other people who do not agree with them. It's as simple as that.
