"Cleveland Sports Are Horrible" - New Browns RB Carlos Hyde
I was trying to figure out all morning whether the Hyde signing meant the Browns were definitely passing on Saquon Barkley or if they were trying to build the best backfield in the NFL when this tweet started making it’s rounds on Twitter. But when it comes to people going through old athletes tweets like they are digging through someone’s trash, this has to be one of the most harmless ones yet, right? There is no Browns fan in the world that feels any different about Carlos Hyde then they did before that tweet popped into their life. Shit, if anything it probably endeared him to the fan base. When I think of Browns fans, this is who I think of.
You can’t hurt Cleveland fans with insults about their teams or city. If I make a joke about Cleveland sports, this is the reaction of their fans every time.
Cleveland sports are more often than not horrible in some sense of the word. Even when shit goes good it goes bad. LeBron falls into the Cavs lap at the number 1 pick? He rips out their heart, goes to Miami, and wins 2 championships. The Indians make it to the World Series twice in the last 20 years? They lose in extra innings of Game 7 both times. The Browns have the best football coach in NFL history? The owner moves the team and fires the coach. It took LeBron somehow coming back to Cleveland (thanks to a shit ton of assets since the Cavs were horrible) for Cleveland sports to win a championship. And even when that happened, fans were so shocked, they were eating horse shit.
Hyde grew up in Cincinnati and played college football in Columbus. That guy knows how horrible Cleveland sports better than 95% of the country.
Plus everyone knows that ending any tweet or text with an “lol” instantly means you were just kidding around. It doesn’t matter if you are saying a city is trash or you should go on a date with your friend that you want to be more than a friend. Throw those three letters on the end and it’s no harm, no foul. Kinda like if someone says “No offense, but”. If you take offense to whatever was said, that is on you, not them. In fact, every kid that has dreams of becoming a pro athlete should end every one of their tweets with an lol just in case the Twitter garbage pickers come looking years down the road.
