Cincinnati Bengals fans are so frustrated with the organization–one of them is even willing to sell his allegiance on eBay.
According to Lance McAlister 28-year-old Brett Kostoff has decided to give up on the Bengals and is willing to choose for any other of the 31 NFL teams at the right price. Clearly, Brett is upset with how Mike Brown is running the organization and has given up on being a Cincinnati fan–which is why he is putting his allegiance on the popular auction site. Here’s part of Brett’s description from his eBay listing:
“Where do I begin? I’m 28 years old born and raised in the worst NFL City in the history of the league. Cincinnati – home of the Bungals. I have a wife and 2 children, live the normal life own a home work 40 hours a week. I have cheered my whole life for the Bengals, but cannot continue to support an organization that simply doesn’t care about winning and is only in this league due to financial reasons. We have the worst owner in the history of sports. His dad was a good man and won some games for the city of Cincinnati. I guess that is a good enough reason to continue to torture a city and a die-hard fan like myself. Well I have come to the conclusion that I will not suffer anymore. I’m looking for bids to become a fan of your city’s NFL team. All proceeds will go to my new team’s gear (hats, hooded sweatshirts, jersey’s), I will not take one penny for my own personal use…strictly apply it to be able to support my new team. I refuse to wake up every Sunday morning watch NFL countdown from 11am-1pm and then watch the Bengals lose. Every Sunday has almost been ruined for 20+ years. I have had season tickets for the last 6 years and before that haven’t missed a game on TV. Even when they are blacked out I continue to find them on the internet and watch the game off a website of some sort. I yell at the screen and for some odd reason think every draft pick that was a question mark, somehow I think they knew something that other teams didn’t. I have new hope every year that this is the year, nothing ever changes.”
As of Monday night, Brett’s listing already received 10 bids–with the highest being $168.61–and there is still one week remaining until the auction ends. Brett appears to be one of the most passionate fans in the NFL and is willing to cheer for any team–unless it’s the Bengals, Lions, or Bills.
Why not these teams? Brett claims he wants to cheer for a team that has proven to care about winning.
If Brett does end up cheering for your team next season, here’s a few things he promises to bring to the table:
“16 Weeks of everything I got on gamedays.”
“My facebook image will be of my new team for the entire NFL Season.”
“I usually eat BW3′s boneless wings and potato wedges every sunday before my team starts.”
“I will yell at the TV on average 5-10 times a game (# subject to lower due to your team HAS to be better than the Bengals).”
“I usually stand up on 3rd downs (if my team gets it’s followed by a fist pump, if my team doesn’t get it I usually punch the throw pillow).”
“If any play for our team is breaking a long run or pass I continue to yell at the screen (go, go, go – usually followed by a few claps).”
“I will study our draft picks for at least 2 months after the draft so I can pretty much defend them no matter what kind of fan I talk too.”
With all of this taken into consideration–who wouldn’t want Brett rooting for their team?
