Not to Mike Brown, but to the team itself (not saying this is the only way to show loyalty). You can't compare our situation with that of other teams though. We have a special one-of-a-kind owner.
This is a Mike Brown related problem. Cincinnati loves football. People are just burned out on Mike Brown and the fact that we haven't won a playoff game in 26 years and have never won a championship. That's pretty much the feelings of every casual Bengals fan I've met, and most diehards (outside of a few people on this message board) as well. A new team and new ownership would bring hope. Mike Brown just isn't someone people believe in.
The Oakland stadium does suck. Did the Raiders offer to help in any way? What about the stadiums and negotiations with San Diego and St Louis? Were any concessions made? Did those teams really do all they could to work with and help those cities? I honestly don't know, but I somehow doubt it.
Not threaten to boycott was my question, those who actually boycott (quit on the team financially). Are they loyal?
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
