I like a sports rivalry as much as the next person. I like a beer as much as the next person. But this story makes me so goddamned mad I'd like to dip some people in tar and feather them....
8-year-old Jets fan tackled by Cleveland Browns fan in spotlight after mother's letter to Plain Dealer; family declines Jets' offer | cleveland.com
If you do not pause for a moment at a game to see whether there are small children near you; if you do not make every effort to assure those children feel safe near you; if you have the stupidity and criminal mindset to hector, throw things at and assault a child over a football game.....you are a shithead and I hope to God they arrest and convict you shortly.
Get. A. Fucking. Grip.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Tuesday's edition of The Plain Dealer included a letter to the editor from Danielle Brennan of Painesville Township.
WEWS Channel 5 has telecast an interview with Brennan, and ESPN.com has reported the story, which developed after the Cleveland Browns lost to the New York Jets, 26-20 in overtime, on Sunday.
Brennan's letter to the editor, published in Tuesday's The Plain Dealer:
WEWS now reports that the Jets have offered to fly the Brennan family to New York to watch a Jets game from a suite. WEWS adds:Our family has made Cleveland our home for almost 12 years, and we tell everyone we know it is a wonderful city full of great people. Today, I'm ashamed to live here.
As a birthday gift, my husband and 8-year-old son attended the Browns-Jets game. The Jets are their favorite team. What started out as an exciting day ended with an injured little boy.
We knew there would be hecklers, but never would I have thought that my son would be called an expletive to his face or have hot dogs thrown at him. But the worst was when he was tackled by a drunken adult male in the parking lot. Yes, tackled! Can you imagine the fear that went through his mind as this buffoon landed on him with full force? It makes me sick to see the very large scrape and bruising he received.
Shame on you, Browns fans! No matter how intense the game or who the opponent is, kids are off limits. End of story. I wonder if those repulsive fans were able to sleep Sunday night, knowing they assaulted a child. I know I didn't.

The family said they appreciate the offer, but they've graciously declined and they are done with the story. They said they just want the Muni Lot to be safer.
