Some of the members of the Bengals reddit have formed a gofundme to get a billboard placed on Pete Rose Way with high visibility that would help voice our frustrations with this team "respectfully"
We have received a quote for a Billboard on Pete Rose Way for 4 weeks at $1380 and as of this morning we already have $310 towards our goal!
The ad would run 12/4 - 12/31
FUNDRAISING PAGE UP https://www.gofundme.com/4yac4-bengals-billboard-on-pete-rose-way
Please help spread the word!
Edit: Here's the post on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/bengals/comments/7bgsa4/gofundme_page_for_the_billboard_need_1380_for_a_4/
Found that some "disgruntled fan" put up a reddit account that was observed from Fox 19 in Cincy. Evidently they've created a GoFundme page to fire marv ( along with other options you can vote on).
I'm putting 20 on it.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but why is the billboard going to be addressing a man who has been dead for over 25 years?

So you aren't sure if you are going to address the billboard to the owner of the Bengals or a dead man? Not trying to sound like a jerk, so good luck either way!

I have nothing to do with the design and yes it being addressed to Paul Brown is/would be dumb. Just spreading the word here

Total waste of money. Nothing gets through to Mike Brown, he runs HIS team how he sees fit. The only thing that will change Mike Brown's ways is when the grim reaper comes a callin'.

Who Dey Revolution had a good thing going back in 2008 with billboards and urinal cakes (in PBS restrooms) calling for a GM. They even flew a plane over Bengals training camp. Unfortunately, the 2009 season kinda killed that movement, and the website.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

Pffft. Like Mike Brown is going to let Death change the way he runs the Bengals.

I still donated 10 dollars. That's how sick and tired I am of this non-sense.

A Fire Marvin Billboard would be like having a papercut and a gunshot wound...and treating the papercut.

While I have no problem supporting the movement, it won't do shit. Mike Brown gives zero ***** about Bengals fans. If people haven't learned that by now, they never will. As long as that worthless piece of shit continues making profit from the NFL, nothing will change.

Suddenly your GhostBusters avitar makes even more sense. You're preparing to protect the team from the ghost of Mike Brown!

With how stubborn Bengals management are...a billboard may make them dig their heels in more and refuse to change and even possibly keep Marvin.

He'll take a picture of it with his Polaroid and put it in the little plexiglass picture cube on his desk of the other billboards he laughed at but was not fazed by.

Instead of a billboard, why not just initiate that classy, tried and true Bengal fan tradition of throwing garbage on his lawn?? Maybe like the other victims, MB will leave town too...and it's free!
