Being A Cleveland Sports Fan??

Being a sports fan from Cleveland has its advantages and disadvantages.

First I'll start with the disadvantages and give you something to
look forward to. Rooting for Cleveland sports teams is a lot like rooting
for the Cubs or the Nationals you just know that they are not going to win anything and that they will blow it. Then we have the Drive, The Fumble, The Owner, The Choke, Red Right 88, and there is always the infamous rip out hearts out and move us to Baltimore charade. Than there is the weather what's better than going to see a baseball game in October and it's snowing the couple of times that the Indians have made the playoffs I am pretty sure that I remember snow during these games. Then we have the fans; Cleveland has some of the most intense and passionate fans in all of sports. We are passionate until you start to mess up and start losing and making dumb mistakes in the front office then it is like you don't even exist. I remember in the early nineties at municipal stadium where the Indians played you could buy the cheapest tickets and move down to the best seats in the house because they were that bad. And now the advantage of being a Cleveland we have some really cool looking stadiums including the Browns stadium and “Progressive field”.

Yet again the damn fans are a great staple in the Cleveland sports scene we have always been there and we will always be there through it all thick and thin. We may
have false hope every year but we still come out and support. And yet again the weather has also made both sides what is better than watching a football game with a nice ground cover of the white stuff and the weather be about 15 degrees. There is something about that that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up (could be because its frozen but I digress). Then there is the new slate of every year hoping and wishing that this will be your year that they will finally get that ring or that championship. Cleveland is a great sports town regardless of the advantages and disadvantages. If you have a team in the greater Cleveland area then I can guarantee someone will come watch it.

I would take being a Cleveland fan over being any other teams fan even if it takes a Cleveland sports team another 60+ years to win a championship.
