LeBron blames Browns for fans' 0-16 parade: 'You've got to try to fix that sh--'

Warning: Story contains coarse language

LeBron James has one key piece of advice for the Cleveland Browns: Do better.

After a "perfect" season in which the Browns went 0-16, some cynical fans of the NFL side marched through the Cleveland streets surrounding FirstEnergy Stadium - during a brutal cold front, nonetheless - "celebrating" the Browns' winless campaign. Though the parade was truthfully a protest in disguise, Browns players ripped into the thousands who attended.

While James - an Ohio native himself - sympathizes with the team's disappointed players, winning one game over the past two seasons doesn't exactly give the Browns the benefit of the doubt in his mind.

"Fuck yeah, I'd be pissed," James told The Athletic's Jason Lloyd. "But how are you going to be pissed at the fans? It's not like they don't show up. I mean, damn. It's 1-31. If our fans decided they want to have a fucking parade and we were 1-31 the last two years? You can't be mad at that. It's fucked up.

"I understand that as a player, but you've got to try to fix that shit. It could be worse. How 'bout they just boycott a season until y'all win two games in a row?"

For the record, the last time the Browns won two games in a row was November 2014, when they beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Cincinnati Bengals in back-to-back weeks.
