Cleveland Browns have more class than given credit for

Contrary to what Chase Claypool says, the Cleveland Browns are actually a very classy organization. 

There was no doubt that the Cleveland Browns victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card Round left a very sour taste in the Steel City. The Browns are now playing the Divisional Round, a moment that Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool is especially unhappy with and addressed in a very peculiar manner.

Claypool appeared on an Instagram Live and spoke about how Cleveland would lose to Kansas City, without question. Claypool then added how the Browns were, in fact, classless in mocking his teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster in their locker room. This was in response to how Smith-Schuster’s viral TikTok dances in the locker room and on opposing teams’ logos throughout the season.

Teams obviously took it as a sign of disrespect and enacted revenge on the field, which contributed to Pittsburgh’s 11-0 start going down, with the team losing five of the next six games, including two to the Browns. Unlike what Claypool chooses to believe, it is the Browns who are a far classier group than Pittsburgh.

Chase Claypool is simply dealing with the case of sour grapes, not the Cleveland Browns.

If Claypool believes that what Cleveland did was wrong, why did he not see that his own teammate was responsible for starting the trouble?

After all, was it not the Pittsburgh wideout who referred to the Browns as the “same old Browns“? Was it not his teammate who was dancing on the opposition’s logo without the results to back it up? Maybe those questions hit rather deep and won’t provide an answer.

Cleveland shouldn’t have to listen to this. They knew what they were doing. At some point, the bully gets his comeuppance and provides excuses for his failure. When Cleveland was losing to Pittsburgh all this time, there were no sour grapes, just the desire for revenge. On Sunday night, the Browns did exactly that and, as a result, the Steelers are out. As for the Browns, they have a date with Kansas City.

Claypool simply needs to stay quiet and see beyond his own vision that someone else was classless instead of him. Maybe it would be best to stay off video for a while; it’s a problem that Steelers wide receivers have recently had that often leads to a road of trouble.
