Petition Calling for Jimmy Haslam to Sell the Cleveland Browns
Petition Calling for Jimmy Haslam to Sell the Cleveland Browns
The Issue
- To: Jimmy Haslam, Owner of the Cleveland Browns
We, the undersigned Cleveland Browns fans, submit this petition out of deep frustration, heartbreak, and long-standing loyalty to a franchise that has consistently failed to meet even the most basic expectations under your ownership. Since you purchased the team in 2012, Browns fans have endured:
- Repeat losing seasons
- Constant front-office turnover
- Questionable leadership decisions
- Costly roster and coach mismanagement
Despite unwavering fan support, record-breaking attendance, and a city that lives and dies with this team, the Browns remain trapped in a cycle of disappointment. Year after year, we are promised progress. Year after year, we receive excuses. Cleveland is not asking for perfection. We are asking for Competence, Stability, and a genuine commitment to winning. All of which have been glaringly absent. At some point responsibility rests at the top. Ownership sets the culture, and the culture has failed. The Cleveland Browns are more than an asset. They are part of this city's identity. Fans deserve ownership that understands that weight and is capable of leading the franchise forward rather than holding it back.
Therefore, we respectfully but firmly call on you to sell the Cleveland Browns to an owner or ownership group that can provide:
- Clear vision and accountability
- Proven football leadership
- Long-term stability
- Respect for the fans and the city of Cleveland
This petition is not rooted in bitterness; it is rooted in love for a team and a city that deserves better.
Sincerely,
Browns fans who refuse to accept perpetual failure.
