Cleveland Browns Dropping 'Hang on Sloopy' Tradition

[Mr KLC]

CLEVELAND — While "Hang on Sloopy" is typically associated with Ohio State, it's also been a staple of Cleveland Browns games.

Or at least it was.

Taking to Twitter on Wednesday, the Browns' official Twitter account posted a poll asking fans to vote on which song will be played at the end of the third quarter during Cleveland's home opener against the New York Jets on Sunday. The poll indicates that the Browns will no longer be playing "Hang on Sloopy" ahead of the start of the fourth quarter, bringing an end to one of the franchise's most polarizing in-game experiences at FirstEnergy Stadium.



The four options for Browns fans to vote on for Sunday's sing-along song are as follows:

"Wonderwall" by Oasis
"Tiny Dancer" by Elton John
"Chicken Fried" by Zac Brown Band
"Uptown Girl" by Billy Joel

Fans can vote on which song they want to sing along to on the Browns' official website. According to the team, the promotion, which comes in conjunction with Socios.com, will continue through the entirety of the 2022 season.

Good thing they have painted Gordon the Elf on midfield or whatever his name is

Well, if they're gonna go with Elton John, shouldn't it be Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting? Considering they'll be brawling in the stands.

My Town by MSB is the obvious choice I find it funny that they actually pay these PR clowns that come up with garbage.

Serious, wtf. It's a football game, not an intermission at a dog show. It's almost like they were trying to pick songs that don't fit the atmosphere.

It is almost like they thought about karaoke on a friday night with 3 fat girls all proud of their new mani's and pedis and how they lost 2 pounds doing weight watchers for the 14th time instead of an event with testosterone

Who cares?

[Cougar Bait]

Uptown Girl? Who the fukk came up with these, Sean Hannity?

Wonderwall and Tiny Dancer are good songs but not exactly something to get a crowd going.

Let me help you here Cleveland.
