Clevelanders United in Rooting for Its Teams While United Rooting Against Cleveland at the Same Time.

Discussion

I came up with a post not too long ago about how Clevelanders, current and former, are united in rooting for their sports teams and united in rooting for the city itself at the same time especially on this site. But, looking at comments on various posts; I've been proven right. Clevelanders root against their own city more than ANY other city in the country. Regardless if people live in the city or its surrounding suburbs. People in the suburbs think all people who live in Cleveland are poor, violent and stupid. People who moved feel that you don't know any better if you stay in Cleveland. And the reason why we have Cleveland jokes that people use to this day because of comics and comedy writers from Cleveland.
