I’ve been a Bengals fan since birth, and I have lived in the tri-state area my entire life (minus a year as a toddler living down the street from the Bird family farm in French Lick, IN & in 2016 when I lived in Ann Arbor, MI for work). 

As members of the tri-state we may argue amongst ourselves about a lot (Skyline vs Goldstar, UDF vs Graeters, UC vs Xavier, etc.), but we all can come together and rattle off each and every mistake that Mike Brown, owner of the Cincinnati Bengals, makes.

Mike Brown, has been one of, if not the worst, owners in the NFL. He has allowed extremely talented teams to fall apart because of his inability to adapt to changes in the game or to work with younger players. Heck, from the late ‘90s to mid ‘00s, he even allowed multiple off-field player incidents to effect the on field product! 

The Bengals have become a safe haven for washed up & exiled players trying to save their careers. We’ve also had to sit back and watch Pro Bowl & All-Pro talent leave (J. Smith, A. Whitworth, T. Spikes, E. Steinbach, M. Goff, K. Zeitler, M. Sanu, etc.) all because Mike Brown refused to open his checkbook to pay these players and to spend the money needed to form a consistently competitive team. Don’t even get me started on all of the seemingly wasted draft picks year after year. 

The Brown, Blackburn & Tobin families have proven, over the years, that they don’t think about anything other than trying to “save face” every once in a while & selling over priced tickets.

Do they ever consider the terrible job that they’ve done and what it has done to the many fans who keep trying to spend their hard earned money for this complete and total nonsense? Do they even really care? They clearly don’t deserve to keep running our team into the ground. 

Mike Brown, we demand that you sell the Cincinnati Bengals to someone who cares about winning and cares about the City of Cincinnati & the Bengals fanbase!
