That's my city. *\*sniff\**


matlockga

That looks like a Brownie the Elf hat, which makes it so much better


D-Whadd

I think it’s one of these https://www.sportslogos.net/logos/view/376/Cincinnati_Bengals/1968/Primary_Logo


wallace6464

the broadcast kept talking about "his return" but never said what he returned from, are they embarrassed a dude that sexually assaulted 24+ women is making 230 million dollars?


schistkicker

About the only way we'd hear anyone say anything is if Al Michaels is broadcasting a Browns game; he doesn't need the job and can retire whenever he wants and can say what he wants.


jerzyrunellieb

Or if he plays on MNF and a manningcast guest just throws it out there


b1gl0s3r

Buck and Aikman are getting that vibe, too. They're fast becoming one of my favorite duos.


hendrix67

I know he's not a football announcer but put Bob Costas out there and he'll go nuclear on Watson


davidguydude

They talked about his 'time off' as if he had gone on sabbatical. Buncha enablers


Cloverfieldlane

They can’t really talk about his allegations on air


Stumpe999

Could you imagine the graphic department making the "24 allegations" and have them all pop up


davidguydude

I can see it now, accompanied by an asterisk and then "Most by a QB in the salary cap era"


davidguydude

they could've at least said he was suspended, instead of saying he had 'time off.' and didn't al michaels on amazon speak a little more plainly about the suspension? i think CBS whitewashed it more than they needed to.


BDT9215

No, they just don’t care


Swift-Fire

I mean I'd guess that the NFL won't allow them to talk about it


Goldiekd

Hahaha got emmm


lardbiscuits

Kobe looking up at this sign Arthur fisting right now


Any_Zookeepergame445

"looking up" god damn lol


heyimrick

I said this about my dad, because I know he would have laughed. Luckily my mom found it funny too when she realized it haha.


[deleted]

r/nba gonna be mad


lardbiscuits

r/nba mods gonna come kidnap me take me to Colorado and show me the mamba mentality


reskk

I got perma banned from /r/NBA a while ago for calling him a rapist. After I complained they reduced it to a temp ban. Those mods deep in denial


lardbiscuits

They men. You can assume.


SHAWNNOTSEAN

Call the LAPD!


DarkSouls321

They should be doing their algebra homework right now so they might not see this


[deleted]

Lol god damn


CUM_AT_ME_BRAH

Based


DJ_Moore_2

Can someone explain to me what this means because I do not know shit about basketball. I know Kobe Bryant and I know he is an accused rapist but idk who Arthur is.


jmorlin

[know your meme](https://amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/arthurs-fist)


DJ_Moore_2

HAHAHAHAHAAH OMGGGG


spacewalk__

that guy's face is perfect so obnoxious how they have to downplay and 'course correct' from this instead of covering the goddamn case


Starwho

He deserves so so much worse than signs.


[deleted]

Here's my question: Do you throw batteries like a baseball or like a football? Any Philly fans got some experience?


xLeper_Messiah

Depends on the battery, i think. AA or smaller, like a baseball. C batteries is down to preference while D cells are for sure best thrown football style. For car batteries a shotput technique is recommended


Spanky_McJiggles

Let's all follow him around and try to poke his bhole!


DJ_Moore_2

Why? He would like that, apparently.


brp7568

You want him to get a boner or something?


redditisfortrashppl

I was just banned from the Browns subreddit, as a lifelong Browns fan, for criticizing Watson.


brp7568

Lol good for you. Sincerely. That place is a bunch of whiners with victim complexes.


Affectionate-Law-182

He's dragging the whole organization down with him. I'm a female former lifelong Browns fan that now roots for the Bengals. Mainly due to other fans mansplaining to me irl that they only care about winning.


venustrapsflies

Switching from browns to the bengals is a hardcore move lol good for you


HardlyWorkinDBA

I mean it's the historical only choice really.


Razzorsharp

No, the historical choice would've been to move to Baltimore.


ghostplush

"After founding the Cleveland Browns and leading the team to seven league titles in 12 seasons, Brown was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1967. That same year, he founded the Cincinnati Bengals" probably what they're meaning...


itismoo

Ravens would be true hardcore #realbrowns


DisneyWorld1971

As a true Minnesota fan, it’s why I only cheer for the Los Angeles Lakers


MadManMax55

At least the old Browns had the decency to change their name to something more locally appropriate. Because when I think "LA", the first thing that comes to mind is all their lakes.


[deleted]

It's is the most bengals thing a fan can do. Paul Brown only founded the Bengals as a fuck you to the Browns. Fans doing the same keeps that spirit going


Affectionate-Law-182

Lol, exactly, and it pisses off the toxic browns fans the most. Aside from maybe being a Ravens fan. I used to live in Baltimore though and was not a huge fan.


TheWorstYear

It's a trend. Lot of fans switched from one to the other when the 1st team moved to Baltimore


Affectionate-Law-182

I'm only a "casual" Bengals fan. I still hate watch the Browns.


WetChickenLips

Not really when we're coming off a super bowl appearance lol. Just an attempt to excuse bandwagoning a rival.


eifjui

Hello & welcome fellow Paul Brown enthusiast


PTMegaman

I was angrier all game, and even am still in a bad mood after, much more than i anticipated. And thats as a Bengal lifer since 05. Just seeing his face, and having any amount of success out there, is infuriating to watch. I couldnt fathom continuing to root for the team hes on if I was a Browns fan and they got him.


redditisfortrashppl

Besides his paycheck, what success?


[deleted]

Make a second Browns sub.


DocAuch

I quit going there. It’s too annoying to read all of the bullshit takes.


jmorlin

I think I see the comment that got you banned. Out of curiosity, how quick did it come? I wonder if they have some bot going through and yeeting anyone who says that word.


redditisfortrashppl

Says 29 mins from comment time to ban DM.


jmorlin

Sounds like there's a sad human being on the other side of that ban. Fuck em.


[deleted]

As a Bengals fan, can I recommend you a nice Detroit Lions fandom? They're my second favorite team because, frankly, they just feel like they belong with us (the Ohio teams).


[deleted]

Sounds like an accomplishment in my books


sallysippin

You’re welcome to join us in Baltimore, like the previous Browns team!


damn_fine_custard

Do they always lock their gameday thread?


redditisfortrashppl

Yeah, there’s pre/game/post threads each and they lock as the game starts/ends.


damn_fine_custard

Ahhh I don't think baseball does that and I haven't really done game threads for football, thanks and btw they suck for that sorry man.


SadSceneryBoi

I'm disappointed I havent heard any chants. Maybe the broadcast is just suppressing the noise?


5HeadedBengalTiger

There was a “no means no” chant a couple times here at the stadium


SomePeoplesKidsDude

Yeah there were constant and LOUD chants from all over the stadium. t. Section 118 Row 8


floyd3127

I thought I heard boos at the start but I could be wrong


bigrick23143

We were booing hard as fuck the first few plays and then Hilton got hurt so it felt weird


BigRig432

Oh there were some AGGRESSIVE boos


spacewalk__

someone in the thread said the crowd on the radio sounded totally different


bkr1895

I remember after a touchdown they started chanting something I couldn’t tell what but it abruptly stopped like someone turned up a knob filtering in the fake crowd sounds from 2020


bobafugginfett

Yeah there was no way CBS was gonna have the raw stadium audio play, way too risky.


[deleted]

I need fan videos from the stands.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ZiOnIsNeXtLeBrOn

And the Browns for giving a Rapist 230 million fully guaranteed. and fuck the NFL for allowing that POS to play again


Blade_Trinity3

And the players union for protecting him


MadManMax55

I'd rather not. I heard he's not very good about consent.


[deleted]

Deshaun Watson is a rapist


DJ_Moore_2

I came here to say this.


aristocrat_user

Good this is happening to a shitty organization like browns. They deserve the slander for hiring a rapist.


loves2spoogeguys

That camera man is a legend


Currymvp2

The fan with the sign as well


[deleted]

[удалено]


ZedekiahCromwell

It was a Bengals home game, so unless you're saying all fans need to boycott all games due to revenue sharing, I'm not sure what your point is.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kame_Style

>In the eyes of the NFL, those people are still paying to see Watson play. Then what are you doing? Somehow you're supporting the NFL, be it with your jerseys, plastic horns, tickets, streaming service, etc. You are paying to see Watson play.


sculltt

Not just camera operator, whoever the person the in the truck is that was responsible for cutting to that camera (director, I guess.) Timing was great, because the announcers were just nearly breathlessly talking about how "magical" Watson can be in those kinds of game situations.


DJFreezyFish

Yep, that would be the broadcast director who is responsible for switching what camera is onscreen (and possibly asking for that shot from the cameraman).


Haunting_Insect_3009

Absolutely savage & I'm so happy they did it; hopefully the camera crew / producer don't get punished. Unfortunately I wouldn't be entirely surprised if they faced more serious career repercussions for this than Watson did.


ghostplush

Saw it live, it was very quick then cut away. Clearly not the the director, but choice of the operator picking one of several crowd feed shots. Or maybe "an accidental cut" so nobody gets in trouble.


Pure_Measurement_529

Anything that supports consent, I’m here for it


[deleted]

Lol this comment is “controversial” bunch of contrarian pissants punching the air rn.


DistantLikeYouAsked5

You love to see it


circa285

I would like to see these signs at every game Watson plays.


superkickpunch

*Everyone liked that*


TronCarter84

Deshaun “Massage Envy” Watson can get fucked. Browns fans at the game had some serious mental gymnastics like he served his suspension and paid his dues. Get fucked.


keith_richards_liver

Roster move?


ADroopyMango

anyone have a video clip of this?


TheBigPhilbowski

Because Watson is a rapist, you see.


maplejet

I once spent time using ai art generator to make pictures of another similar QB hanging out with sea otters. Don't ask why.


CaptainCerealCanada

They were just confused and thought the sign is about the iconic Canadian punk band


SiphenPrax

Oh boy


Boouurns

great band, glad to see them finally get some recognition


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

You mean the guy who's been a healthy scratch for weeks now and isn't the face of our franchise with a record contract?


thethriftywalrus

Remove both from the League.


HotTakesMyToxicTrait

the best comeback you have is “well one of their players is also a piece of shit too!!!”? fuck em both man. And fuck joe paterno while we’re at it


BlubberElk

You guys are paying Watson like $223M more than anyone is paying Carman


psufb

Ah so having a rapist on the team is fine as long as he comes under a certain salary threshold. Thanks for clearing that up


BlubberElk

No it’s BEYOND bad in both but it’s even worse to give him $200M lmao. You’re the one who made it a “what about” argument


Tashre

CBS production crew leaning into the scandal, knowing they've got a ton of viewers watching because of Watson. And people thought he'd be bad for business.


BlubberElk

Or people are watching cuz it’s a divisional rivalry game that always gets views


Nito_Mayhem

I don't give a fuck about him being good or bad for business. He shouldn't be on the field at all.
