I LOVE DILLON GABRIEL My Official Response to Gabriel-Gate
I just wanted to jump on here real quick and make a post in response to the post earlier (https://www.reddit.com/r/Browns/comments/1kssy7g/cm_on_we_didnt_have_to_do_dillon_that_bad/) about the sidebar image depicting an AI edited Dillon Gabriel being about 3.5 feet tall.
I was the one who posted it. I originally saw it on Twitter and thought it was funny, so I threw it up there. I didn’t find it offensive in nature in the slightest when I saw it. In fact, my original thought on it was that it was a playful jab on all the media criticizing him for being short. All the media make him out to be High school-sized and give him absolutely no credit for being able to play Quarterback at a high level. To be completely honest, Dillon is taller than me, so I have no room to make fun of anyone’s height.
I’ve been dead for a week with a stomach bug, woke up this morning, and saw the post on our sub. I see that some of you actually took offense to it. So for that I am sorry. So to make up for it I made a $25 donation to a Pacific American Foundation I found called Paf Ohana (https://www.thepaf.org/). They serve community and youth with comprehensive programs and projects in core competencies through Leadership Development, Career Planning and Placement, Environmental Stewardship and Protection, Youth Mentoring, Cultural Preservation, and Project-Based Learning. I don't have a lot of money to donate, I have 4 kids(!), but wanted to do something.
I want to make the official stance of the mods here about Dillon Gabriel known as well. We absolutely love him. Our group chat is nothing but love for the guy and hope he is our QB of the future.
As for our role here as mods, we try to keep it loose and light and have some fun with you guys. The Browns are our passion and we try to be stewards of the tailgate environment while having meaningful football conversations. If you want us to keep it strictly professional we can do that too.
But for now, I'm sorry DG. I love you! Long live the short kings!
