This extends to the fans......
And even on this board its an unfortunately high percentage
Edit then i see the rest of the thread proving my point. Sigh
This strikes true so hard.
I know lots of fans who are endlessly negative about the Browns. My uncle is one. He trashes the team week in and out and laughs at their failures - but he’s certainly still watching every single game.
It’s a coping mechanism. They’re unable to handle disappointment so they stubbornly cling to unalterable pessimism. It gets to the point that they would rather delight in vindication than risk getting excited for a team that could let them down. It’s pretty sad, IMO.
