Jim Thome’s Wife Makes Tough Decision on Browns Season Tickets Following Deshaun Watson Trade

Some Browns fans aren’t having it.

Andrea Thome, the wife of former Baseball Hall of Fame slugger Jim Thome, announced on her Twitter page that she canceled the family’s Browns season tickets after the introductory press conference the franchise had to announce the Watson trade.

“Officially cancelled our Browns season tickets today and asked for a refund as they were paid in full,” Andrea Thome wrote. “Very sad after 40 years as a fan, but this is my line in the sand. I believe women. Especially when there are 22 of them. That press conference did nothing to change my mind.

“They may not give us a refund. But I sent the letter today. If @Browns won’t refund—-I will auction off every single game and publicly donate every cent to different women’s crisis charities in N.E. Ohio, raising awareness week by week during the season.”

Andrea Thome said she had written the letter to the Browns requesting the cancelation of the season tickets a week prior, but let it sit in draft folder “until I cooled off.” It was the Watson press conference that made her decision a final one.

She added in another message that her husband had surprised her with the season tickets for Mother’s Day.

A final word. I never called anyone guilty. 22 accusers. That’s enough for me to make a decision that I have every right to make without being incessantly bullied by keyboard warriors. I’m stepping away for a week, but I wish you all peace. Grateful for all of the support. ❤️✌🏼

Earlier this month, the Browns traded for Watson and gave him a fully-guaranteed, five-year $230 million contract.

The Browns brass obviously wants to win so badly they don’t mind alienating longtime Browns faithful.

Bold strategy, let’s see if it pays off for them.
