There's an older generation of Browns fans that grew up watching, cheering and galvanized themselves as Browns fans during the Jim Brown era and this fandom was passed down by their fathers as well. Jim Brown, brutalized, raped (some were minors) and repeatedly beat women (never found guilty!). To this day, it's excused as a "different time."
Jim Brown has a statue outside the stadium.
In the end, winning cures all...for better or worse.
Good, bad or indifferent....once Watson starts winning, the majority will not care about the civil suits and they'll be afterthought.
