sorry im just fuckin with you all

this is a good sports town for real though

lol "good sports town" usually assumes one likes the sports teams in that town.

CLE seems like a fine sports town barring the racist-name baseball team, the crazy owner of the basketball team, and the war crime of a football team.

lol that is a fair assessment

lol cad

excited for an actual possible rivalry in the east tho

the thing about being a cleveland sports fan that i think is really qualitatively different from being a fan in the historically great sports cities is that we are a perpetual underdog, year after year, no matter how good the team is, because it's *cleveland* and it will never be new york or boston or chicago, we don't really win titles so when you do win a title or get *that close* to winning one there is a level of drama and obsession and idk just sheer *weight* of this event that binds the whole city together and while i know that kind of stuff exists for all sports fans in all cities i do suspect that it is possibly more intense here than in cities that have a bunch of championship-winning franchises all the time.

yeah those kinda fanbases make for the most intense and loyal.

ppl forget boston was a tragic sports city not that long ago aka my childhood, sox were the original cursed team, pats were utterly pitiful at every level, vague memories of larry bird not withstanding celtics were awful, i have no idea about hockey

the red sox situation in particular is very key to understanding boston sports madness

like the fans were driven insane by the decades of choking, and then the winning started and they were driven further insane

anyway ive experienced sports in a number of american cities and nothing ive seen comes close to the level boston sports mania, which is why imo it is the "best" sports city

new york is too cosmopolitain to really focus on sports, philly is too negative, everywhere else is too nice or doesnt care enough or w/e

i will admit that ive been impressed with the psychosis of bronocs fans, i was watching a pats game in a bar and everyone was rooting really intensely against them cursing and yelling at the tv, and the broncos werent even playing, but still people are much too even keeled in colorado to really compete
