Worst Fanbase In NFL? Cleveland Browns Fans Cross The Line As Support For Disgraced QB Deshaun Watson Continues Despite Lengthy Suspension And $5 Million Fine

The situation around Deshaun Watson continues to grow bleak. The Cleveland Browns QB tarnished his reputation when he broke the NFL’s personal conduct policy. That is because many women shot Watson with allegations against him. Owing to the accusations against him, the NFL and NFLPA suspended the problematic QB for 11 regular season games. The suspension comes without pay. Also, they hit him with a fine of $5 million. This makes it difficult for the fans, especially the fans of Watson.

Some fans are furious with Deshaun Watson and are condoning his behavior, understandably so. However, there are others who still strongly support the Browns QB despite the serious accusations against him.

Even though some fans may shrug off the seriousness of the complaints against Watson, there are a good amount of people who wholeheartedly support him.

The problem around the fans of Deshaun Watson

On Twitter, a man and a child held signboards. It had problematic cheers inscribed on them. After seeing that, many could not believe it. Even though Watson is supremely talented, there are people who are understandably wary of supporting him.

When the Cleveland Browns acquired Watson, they were aware of his alleged behavior. Tony Grossi, the Cleveland Browns reporter for ESPN, said, “It’s very real that the Watson acquisition from the start polarized the fan base. The fissure deepened as unsavory details of the Watson case came out.” 

Reaction to the precarious Tweet

Surely, there are those die-hard fans who want to support their team and move away from the headlines. But some take it to the extreme, as seen in the Tweet.

A user blamed the Cleveland Browns because they were aware of the allegations.

This user thinks that the society is failing by not condemning immoral acts.

This commenter said that Watson may be innocent. The tainted QB still stands strong to prove his innocence. “I continue to stand on my innocence,” were his words.

This commenter thinks that the Browns fans are unpleasant, and it is their own free will that makes them look bad.

This user, who is clearly not a supporter of Watson, feels bad that people like in the Tweet represent the fan base.

Well, this user took the effort to express his opinion as the man did in the Tweet.

A user points out how the man in the Tweet is acting out his opinion individually and that he does not represent the whole fans-base of the team.

There are some who still defend Deshaun Watson. However, some condemn his behavior. It seems like the fanbase has been divided into two parts.
