Browns Fans Protest Watson Start by Targeting Jim Brown Statue
Angry Browns fans plastered signs on the Jim Brown statue outside the stadium to protest Deshaun Watson being named the starting quarterback, criticizing the move amid allegations against Watson and referencing the ownership; the backlash followed coach Todd Monken’s decision and a rough preseason loss to the Bills; Watson later acknowledged the emotional reaction as he prepares for his first regular-season game in 22 months after Achilles injury.
