Browns fans to protest their next home game
Not even LeBron James can save this mess. (Source: Chicago Sun-Times)
Some fed-up Browns fans are organizing a”late arrival” to the team’s November 16th Monday Night Football game against the Baltimore Ravens. The letter below, by “Dawg Pound Mike,” urges fans to stay away from their seats until after kickoff, to make it clear to the team, the league, and the world, that they are “tired of this product on the field.”
While ESPN has caught hold of the story, it must be noted that many fans aren’t buying into it.
Head Honcho of The Orange and Brown Report, Barry McBride said it best: “An empty stadium is embarrassing, sure, but to who?”
Below is a version of the email that’s being passed around. All-caps! Shouting!

Somehow this sounds like a sports variation on the Mad Prophet of the Airwaves speech from Network.
Looks like Dawg Pound Mike got to meet with Randy Lerner today.

Lerner is probably hoping the ousting of Kokonis will show fans that he’s serious about turning things around.
But Mike still says they’re planning on going through with the protest
