Browns Draft New Fan Base

2009 DraftThe 2009 NFL Draft made for an exciting weekend in Cleveland. The Browns moved down three times in the first round, trading from No. 5 to No. 17 to No. 19 and then No. 21, picking up a second and two sixth round picks in the process. When finally making their first selection at No. 21, Cleveland decided to draft – a new fan base. The move came as a shock to many NFL experts, who thought the team would be looking to draft offensive and defensive football players. Brownieman.net spoke with Browns’ GM George Kokinis about his decision. “We are committed to improving football in Cleveland in every way we can,” he said from his office in Berea. “This includes stadium employees, players, personnel, and the fan base.” Kokinis noted that he and Mangini were sick of all the criticism from the fans prior to the draft and said he looks forward to a fresh start. The new fan base comes primarily from China, Mexico, and Poland which should make for interestingly diverse Dawg Pound.

    Dude there are plenty of us poles out in the pound already. Who else swills beer and alcohol at 7am when it is -10 outside other than eastern europeans.

    The Browns have one of the greatest fan bases in the NFL….but I admit that they have become pretty critical of the new regime. Give em a chance….and if that doesn’t work, go root for the Cowboys or something.
