Any Akronites with the "little man syndrome" are the same type of people that live in Cleveland with the "underdog" syndrome or Miami with the "douchebag" syndrome. They don't represent everyone (well, scratch the latter), they are just louder because they want attention.
Cleveland and Akron generally (I'd say), have a brotherly relationship. Cleveland isn't in very good shape, but it's still the big brother and offers a lot (sports especially) to its siblings. Akron is one of the most accomplished cities in America for its size and is a fellow member of the Northeast Ohio family. Cleveland, being the big city, is the nation's representative of the region and therefore doesn't get hated on by sane people from Akron. There is no logical reason for anyone from Akron or Cleveland to hate each other. The only people who do are morons. This isn't speaking from experience, its common sense.
This isn't even mentioning the whole Ohio extended family, which by default, was a huge supporter of its homestate hero L*****. He's an ass and the whole state knows it and hates him for it now.
For a few examples:
1. OSU is a the best college sports representative for our state, so most people in it are Ohio State fans. This does not however prevent people from being UA, KSU, UT, BGSU, or even OU fans.
2. Cleveland is home to the Indians. If people in NEOhio care about baseball and aren't asshats, they root for the Tribe. Akron is home of the Aeros, they're minor league affiliate.
Prime, I understand that morons exist. I just don't think the vast majority of Akronites or Clevelanders are morons. It's possible that LBJ had "little man syndrome" but that doesn't make it any less retarded that he's almost excusing his dickery with some BS city feud.
Come on. Give UC some love.
