The statement was made they did nothing for the community, and were only concerned with their own wallet. I countered with FACTS about how much they donate to the community. Now you want to change it to "well, they only do it for the tax write off," "and it's not hard to throw money around when you're rich" Bootlicking be damned, some of you are so eaten up with Brown Derangement Syndrome you have to work overtime to twist your arguments.We're fairly clear-eyed. You see a well-intentioned, aw shucks downtrodden billionaire family with the worst "luck" imaginable since the death of the patriarch. Just a happy accident that they are always getting busted out for bending over backwards for a dime. Like multiple times a year for actual decades. Constantly in conflict with star players that fans like you paint as mean old jocks just trying to hurt the Brown Family Charitable Community Trust for Starving Kids and 3 Legged Dogs.
But yeah, it's the "haters" that have it wrong. Definitely no pattern here.
What are you going to do to defend them when the alienate the best player ever to wear stripes this offseason and he starts to want out after 3 straight non-playoff seasons.
Don't worry Sled. It'll be okay. The family will still be worth 5-6 billion whether or not Joe wants to be here.
If anything we've graded the family on a curve since the Marvin era. They get major kudos for crap normal teams have done forever. Ring of Honor, Indoor practice facility (temporary), hiring one or two freaking scouts when other teams have 30. Actually cutting players with dead money when they are physically through. Singing B tier outside FAS. Winning an actual playoff game for the first time in 3 freakking decades. Always big applause like a parent gives their D student kid when he makes 5 C's and a B minus. It's a goddamned miracle! The hater crap is a figment of your imagination. We're all ready for them to act like a real NFL organization. I don't get why folks like you are content for them to remain average. Quit treating them like bumpkins. They're billionaires that would look down their noses at you if they saw you walking down the street.
