That said as much as I hate Mike Brown as an owner and everything he has done & hasnt done, it probably wouldnt be too hard for me to switch teams if I ever move someday to another NFL city or market. He is the bane of my fandom, and drove me away in the 90s. Why I came back though, I just had no where else to go.
It's more difficult than you think. I live near another city which is home to a multiple super bowl winner, but it wasn't even a consideration to switch from the Bengals to this team (even though when I lived in Ohio, I would have rooted for this team as an underdog at times).
Sometimes I ask myself, if Mike Brown owned a team that I was not a fan of, would I actually wish that he had any success, or would I think him to be the most undeserving owner of that success and therefore root against him? The answer is the latter. However, selfishly I have to root for Mike Brown's success because I'd rather not wait until Mike Brown is not the owner until the Bengals have success.
