I grew up in Cincinnati and lived there for 30+ years. It’s still my “home” even though I live in Denver now. The Bengals and Reds are in my blood. They’re basically my family and there’s nothing I can do to change it. It’s very painful being a Bengals fan. All we, as fans, really want is ownership to try and win. That’s it. We realize this won’t happen every year, but trying to win isn’t much to ask for. Yet, we clearly see we’re not getting any effort from ownership. None, zero, zilch. And, to top it off, they could care less about their fans. They constantly kick us while we’re down.
So, rooting for them to go 0-16 this year and hopefully next year doesn’t mean we’re not fans. We care so much that we’d rather them reach a new undiscovered rock bottom so there’s just a smidgeon of a chance the NFL would step in to stop this mess. If the garbage Brown produces stinks enough and hurts the NFL image/profits enough, we have hope. At this point, it’s our only hope.
