I was a star short stop at the age of 21, 5'4 with gold glover talent and a power bat weighing in at 135 pounds... I was in the farm system for the Indians that night...What minor league team did you allegedly play for?
I always thought this way and it really bothered me. I also knew people in Columbus when I lived that were Indians fans because they were good but also Bungles fans at the same time...I feel like there are more hardcore Bengals fans in Columbus than there are in Cincinnati.
Yeah. I feel like a lot of it depends on which way the wind blows and what markets you get on TV.I always thought this way and it really bothered me. I also knew people in Columbus when I lived that were Indians fans because they were good but also Bungles fans at the same time...
Not sure where that statement even comes from. Baseball, sure, but even in "Bad" years, Cavs haven't really been at the bottom of the league in attendance (Ranking at worst 19th and 22nd the two years after LeBron left the first time).
2019, 8th. Ignore the covid year. 2020, 17th. 2021, 12th. And last year 9th.
Not sure what your definition of "good" is, but based on attendance (and viewership and market size), I don't think anything really supports the statement "Cleveland only cares about the Cavs when they're good".
Couldn't you get tickets to Watson's home debut vs Baltimore for less than $10?There might not be 5 fanbases in the NBA that care about their team when they're bad. That entire league revolves around front running and bandwagoning.
Browns attendance dropped near the bottom of the league because the fans cared. Boycotting was our response to the incompetence of Haslam's ownership and it worked.
Won't touch on the Guardians thing, there's multiple threads dedicated to that discussion in the proper section. I will say, though, it's definitely not wrong to criticize the fanbase for the lack of support there.
It was -30 degrees outside, dude.Couldn't you get tickets to Watson's home debut vs Baltimore for less than $10?
I dunno, Cleveland fans love to beat their chest about their fandom but it's a bit of a house of cards
No it wasn't, you're thinking of the Saints gameIt was -30 degrees outside, dude.
These arguments are disingenuous and you know it.
Ah, well, that was the game where tickets were going for $10.No it wasn't, you're thinking of the Saints game
