In Ohio, it has become downright dangerous of late if you aren't part of the Buckeye fan base. A bit sick IMHO.
I enjoy watching Big Ten football......very cool spectacle, pretty clean and lots of fun. I've been to lots of other stadiums and talked with other fans from other colleges. They all say the one place they will not go to is Columbus Ohio, because they can't go and cheer without fear of having something thrown at them or being threatened with physical harm. My son went to a game there this year, but would not cheer for the other team because of this problem. We have gone to other stadiums in the Big Ten and always had good fun and enjoyed the fans of the other team.
When you start taking your team that seriously, something has gone a bit wacko.
After what Model (Modell?) pulled with the Browns, I'm not surprised.
If that guy ever makes the mistake of stepping foot in Cleveland again...
...Well, he'd better hope the Baltimore Ravens never play the Cleveland Browns.
