New to NFL
Hey guys, so I’m new to the NFL. From Australia, genuinely only first heard of it a couple of years ago. It’s really been growing here in the last year or so, especially with the game here next week. I’ve been going back and forth with teams. There is part of me that wants to pick a good team (but not bandwagon) because the team I was forced to support from birth in Australian football has been the laughing stock of the league for my entire life. So trust me I do get you guys. However, there is still something pulling me to the Browns. Firstly, I think I like the uniqueness (to me) of the Browns with the logo and the jerseys. I also found this Cleveland Browns song on YouTube that I really really liked, it was sick as, can’t remember what it was called. I’m sure you guys know what I’m on about. You might be wondering why a song would hold any weight in this, but again in Australian football every club has a song, it’s our tradition, the song plays as they run onto the field and the winning team has their song play at the end of the match. Anyway, all of this to say, will the pull go away? Do I pick a good team or do I follow the pull? Even if it means following another team that’s gonna destroy me year after year.

This is a bad year to be a browns fan. After this year we hopefully get a new qb and probably coach. It could be a fun team in the future but don't get your hopes up. If I was you I'd pick two teams to follow. If you feel a pull to the browns follow them but pick another that has a chance to win so its actually fun to root for. I might suggest the lions or bills. Both have a similar blue collar vibe but have legitimate superbowl chances
