BALTIMORE -- I am a 43-year-old man who is a longtime Cleveland Browns fan and a former season ticket holder (before I moved away from the area in 2003). I have spent most of my life watching professional football. I have spent a lot of time and money over the years on tickets, travel, cable TV packages, merchandise, concessions and charitable causes related to the sport. I have visited multiple NFL stadiums.
I have remained loyal to the NFL when the Browns' move to Baltimore was announced back in 1995.
I have remained loyal to the NFL since the Browns returned in 1999, even though the organization has since transferred ownership and has continually failed to put a respectable team together for many consecutive seasons.
