The Protest (to the Protest) is Growing Stronger Every Day
Thanks to some chatter on local sports talk and the one line of coverage in the Plain Dealer, our movement is growing and we’re starting to gain some ground on the fans who are planning to boycott the Browns in front of a national television audience.
Your reaction has been overwhelming and it’s getting stronger every day. We’ve now jumped up to 400 550 friends on Facebook. Let’s keep this thing going and try to match “Dawg Pound Mike” and his alleged 2000 emails. Invite your friends to stand up and be seen and heard Monday Night!

Best way to get the message out is to call Triv. He has a huge audience and we have a common ground with him in thinking DPM is a douche. I tried to call all day today. Will try again tomorrow.
As the Owner of TheBrownsBoard.com I propose that all Browns Fan sites join in an effort to protest this protest. TheBrownsBoard.com is in, sounds like OBR (Scouts) is in per Barry’s comments … let’s pull these sites together as one entity and together we will all have way more supporters than Dawgpound Mike.
Hey Stan! How’s it going, bro?
Since we’re as much a news site as anything, we cover it as a news story, and have posted commentaries both for and against it. I’ve personally posted an editorial against it, and got hundreds of supportive emails in response. We posted a pro-boycott editorial as well and got virtually no response (three or so emails), while anti-boycott email continues to come in. I personally don’t like the idea, which has been pretty obvious by how I’ve written about it. We’ve got a number of good, loyal fans who still think it’s a good idea. I respect these folks opinion, but the number seems to be dwindling.
So, there’s that, if you want to measure the mood of the sort of hard-core fans who hang on the OBR.
As a news story, however, it’s fading fast. There’s not much discussion of it after we do a story about it, and I get the sense that Browns fans are tired of hearing about it. There’s far more interest in potential front-office and coaching hires than anything else right now.
