I don't get why Browns fans are so upset about them leaving for Baltimore. They weren't the only city to have a team taken away. Hell, Baltimore had there's taken away out of nowhere and had to wait nearly 15 years (and have other cities get teams before them) to get a new team. Cleveland not only got a new team relatively quickly but they got to keep their name, colors, AND records (something Baltimore can't say). They've also had like 6-7 picks in the top 10 since they came back to Cleveland, so what more do they want? You don't see other cities bitching about their teams leaving.
I live 30 minutes outside LA . We are still waiting.....and waiting.....
I saw a bunch of these guys at the UCLA spring game a couple years ago. Kind of scary looking like a bunch of Mexican gang members

Um...yeah, we kinda did.
From the moment the Colts left Baltimore they whined about it, that is until they got a new team from someone else - then all of a sudden, "It was Mr. Irsay's team and he could do what he wanted with it".
Until then we heard how unfair it all was and how the NFL doesn't want to put another team in Baltimore, etc.
The tune changed pretty quickly once they got the Ravens.
I should have said nobody whines about it as much as Browns fans do.
And of course Baltimore fans complained, their team moved to a different city with no warning whatsoever while Cleveland fans KNEW theirs was leaving AND coming back 3 years later. Baltimore is one of the biggest football towns in the country (along with Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Chicago, etc.) and they had to watch as freaking Jacksonville and Carolina got teams before they did?
This is why I'm asking why Browns fan complain about this as much since Baltimore got screwed over more over this.

And yet Mr. Irsay moved the team because the fans weren't coming to games.

Really? I thought it was due to Baltimore not giving them money for a new stadium.

I can tell you fan attendance was dwindling back then as the Colts sucked worse each year. Fans weren't coming to games.
