It's time we Browns fans did something for Eric Barr

Hey Everyone,

 

I'm new to this board so nice to meet everyone. Most of you probably have heard by now of Eric Barr, that guy that decided to up and leave his cozy life in Connecticut to take up residence in Berea in order to be close to his favorite team, the Browns. In case you are not familiar with how his life has been since he moved here, this snippet from the ESPN article sums it up:

 

"So Barr bought season tickets, and he drove 500 miles to every game until, a few months ago, he quit his job, left behind a steady check and benefits, and moved to Cleveland. He still hasn't found work. He lives out of a suitcase. He is lonely except for the few hours he communes with other fans on game day. He plays solitaire. He spends his days at a library looking for jobs. The money's gonna run out. Things seem bad. He wonders why he did this. He's 33, alone, with no furniture, no job, no future."

 

Fellow Clevelanders, it's time we did something for this man. I don't know what yet. Perhaps start up a collection to buy him furniture, use our contacts to provide him job leads, or simply invite him out for a beer. We have to do something for this guy. Is anybody with me on this?

I'd help but I left Cleveland because there are no jobs and the ones available suck. Tell him to go back home.

I hate to say it, but the guy is a fool. I appreciate he loves the Browns, but common sense dictates that you don't leave your life for a xxxxing sports team. He may have some type of mental health issue. He should return home, ASAP.
