How many times have you attended a Cleveland Browns game and shared a space in FirstEnergy Stadium with fans who pay no attention to the game? Every time I go, I observe more and more “fans” who seemingly would rather be anywhere, and doing anything, other than watching our beloved Browns.
Over the years, especially since the Browns returned in 1999, there seems to be a growing segment of the fandom that irks me to no end. It is undoubtedly and inexorably tied to the many advances in technology, but is also linked to other factors as well.
