Welcome! I am excited you are here. I use writing to share life lessons and empower each of us to embrace our challenges and find the beauty in the storms.
Sunday, March 20th, I took a hit. I am still reeling from today.
The Cleveland Browns announced acquiring DeShaun Watson, the estranged Houston Texans quarterback, and betrayed a legion of fans in as they sold their soul for a "Win."
Browns fans epitomize loyalty, respect, and character
For decades the Cleveland Browns have been the brunt of jokes across the NFL.
Sure, Browns fans want a winning team and a ring, but we realize that love of the sport and the team transcends the trophies: our franchise was taken from us, we had more losing seasons than possible, and until recently, teams always took us as an easy win.
But the fans set the Browns apart. Known as the most loyal fans in football, we stood by a franchise that struggled on and off the field and honored our players. We know where football began and where it deserves to be played.
Owners sell out the fans for the glory of a win.
DeShaun Watson faces 22 civil lawsuits for allegations of sexual misconduct and remains under investigation by the NFL. He bailed on his last team and remains a highly controversial player.
For the Browns to get Watson, they threw our current quarterback under the bus after playing his heart out all season with a torn labrum, gave up three first-round draft picks, a third and fourth-round pick, and $230 million!
What the future holds?
I don't know DeShaun's character, but I know Baker's. A man that fights for his team tooth and nail and rallies his teammates to fight for a win. Cleveland bet the bank on a question mark.
