Perhaps you’ve noticed all the change around the Cincinnati Bengals.
New uniforms are set to be revealed. More fan engagement on social media. Leaked pics of a ring of honor. Exciting prizes for season-ticket holders. A team vision statement that is sympathetic and reflects fans’ aspirations. A stronger connection to the community.
All of that can be—to a large extent—attributed to Elizabeth “Burnie” Blackburn, the granddaughter of Mike Brown and the club’s Director of Strategy and Engagement.
She’s young, smart, and get this... she cares about winning! She’s a super fan of the Bengals who made her name away from the franchise and returned because she was actually qualified, not nepotism.
