The Class of Cleveland's Fans:

An eight-year-old New York Jets fan was tackled by a drunken Browns supporter in a parking lot following Sunday's game, Cleveland's WEWS-TV reported Wednesday.

FANS GONE WILD
Take a look at the craziest incidents involving fans on the field.

The boy's mother, who would only identify herself as Danielle, said her son attended the game with his father, who is from New York. She said her husband and son were not harassed inside Browns Stadium during the Jets' 26-20 overtime victory, but the scene turned ugly once they left.

“As he was walking, holding my son’s hand, a guy from behind tackled him. A drunken Browns fan tackled him and pulled him out of his dad’s hand. He was on the ground crying,” Danielle said.

She said her son's ankle was scraped and bruised, but her husband opted not to call police, choosing instead to leave as soon as possible.

“He just wanted to get him out of there, out of that environment,” Danielle said, adding that Browns fans also threw food at them and called him a "bad word."

Browns vice president of media relations Neal Gulkis said team officials were looking into the situation, which he called unfortunate.

"One thing Browns President Mike Holmgren said when he got here was home-field advantage and a fan-friendly environment is very important," Gulkis said.

Initially, Danielle said she was not worried about her son attending the game, because "Clevelanders are such great people. I knew that they would never hurt an eight-year-old kid, never.”

The Muni Lots outside the stadium are operated by the city. Cleveland parks and recreation director Michael Cox told WEWS behavior by drunken fans is one reason that the city stopped opening the lots at 4:00am on game days.

Either way, Danielle said her son will not be going back to another Browns game.

“My husband asked him, ‘Did you have a good time?’ He said ‘Yes.” He said ‘Would you want to go back sometime?’ And he said ‘No, I don’t like Browns Stadium.’ Who could blame him?”

Stay classy Cleveland.

A drunk fan fell on the kid by accident.. he didn't attack him. The family is blowing it out of proportion.

I hope that is the class, or somebody needs to get punched.. seriously.

The story just doesn't add up.. Someone would have stopped the guy if he tried to tackle a little kid.. It's common sense, and the kids father didn't even go after the guy who 'attacked' his kid, and they haven't even sent in a police report. Most likely an overprotective/overreacting mother who is mad someone tripped over himself and fell on her kid.

Welcome to Cleveland. Not the best of ideas to where Jets clothing to a Browns game. I've seen a Steelers fan get escorted out at a Browns-Lions game because he was snowballed by the Dawg Pound and even much worse then that.

Drunk fans > Jets fans.
