Thought Control: SCP-NFL-001986 has the capacity to exert control over individuals who have signed their names on the mug. These individuals, hereby referred to as "Subjects," will exhibit behavior that aligns with the desires and commands of the current holder of SCP-NFL-001986. The extent of this control varies but includes altered decision-making, obedience to commands, and changes in personality.
Collective Influence: When in proximity to groups of individuals who already share an emotional or psychological connection to the Cleveland Browns (referred to as "Fans"), SCP-NFL-001986 amplifies group cohesion and collective actions.
