Hi! This is Dan. I've been a fan of "colored" teams for as long as I can remember. What are "colored" teams? Well, it's not a racial thing, if that's what you think! I was born in Ohio and was raised a Reds baseball fan and a Browns football fan, so if Brown and Red are colors, I'm a fan of colored teams!
Being an Ohio sports fan isn't easy. The Reds haven't had a successful season since 1990, when they won the World Series somehow. That was when Marge Schott owned the team and brought shame on anyone and everyone who cheered for the Reds because of her overt racism. Even worse, being a Browns fan has been a nightmare! The Browns' last championship was in 1964. The team packed up and moved to BALTIMORE of all places, and then the new Browns were born several years later. Uhhhhh....they're not very good! I just watched them get beat by the Steelers again. Now, the Steelers aren't very good - they'll probably finish 8-8 again this year and get left behind the playoff buss one more time - so what does that say about us? Uhhhhh....we're REALLY bad, that's what!
Oh well - life is more than pro team's wins and losses. I lose more sleep over the performance of my 7th and 8th graders than I do the Browns. After all, I have a lot more to do with their performance than I do with the other!
In any case....Go Browns! I still cheer for them even if they do play really poorly! LIC, Dan
