Who is the Cleveland Browns? Philosophers disagree. Could the Browns be a thing, or is something Brown, perhaps afflicted with this attribute?
Pressing questions indeed, for when the football team of an Ohio metropolitan area happens to be the Cleveland Browns, this moral quandary takes a serious turn. It’s pressing still when this team faces the Detroit Lions on the last Thursday of August for something called the “Great Lakes Freighter Trophy,” clearly a rush week prank concocted by students at Miami University.
This corporeal entity shares a similar stigma with the Detroit Lions, both teams having found no wins in a 16-game NFL schedule.
