    That is absolutely true. I would venture to say that 85-90% of people that attend the games live outside of Cleveland proper.

    I suspect this could be verified if just the zip codes of all season ticket holders were published.

  • I do love the way "Northeast Ohio" is painted across the front of the jerseys. It's a nice touch.

    I mean, a ton of teams don't even play in the city in which they have on their jerseys:

    The East Rutherford Jets/Giants

    The Orchard Park Bills

    The Landover Redskins

    The Miami Gardens Dolphins

    The Independence Chiefs

    The Arlington Cowboys

    The Glendale Cardinals

    Neither LA team will actually play in LA.

    Not to speak of teams that use an entire state: Tennessee Titans, Minnesota Vikings. New England Patriots (Not even a state), Arizona Cardinals.

    Yes, despite bearing the name of a particular city, all NFL...hell, all major league sports teams are really regional entities.

    But you don't see those teams claiming titles won by other teams in their area, do you?

    Or do the Jets get a ring every time the Giants win?

    You are confusing a "team title" with a "city/region" title. No, the Giants don't claim the Jets titles, nor vice versa....but New York claims them both.

    I mean, would you be one of those that says something like "Baltimore cannot claim that its team won titles when it was the Colts that won that title back in the day....those now belong to Indianapolis". Absurd beyond belief.

    FYI, it is the "Cleveland" and not "the Browns" that make that franchise a public trust of this entire area.

    I mean....you are, or were from South Carolina...or was it the Outer Banks. And we have a team called the "Carolina Panthers". It claims all of two states apparently as its "home" base.

    The Cleveland Browns claim all of Northeast Ohio as its home market area. Don't believe me, call and ask them.

    And the fact that franchises may have come and gone (moved or gone defunct) makes it no less so. Teams from this area are all part of this area's history. Browns, Bulldogs, Pros, Rams. It don't matter. They are or were all Northeast Ohio teams.

    I mean, do you think that when the Cavs played in Richfield that they were any less "Greater Cleveland's" team. No.

    I don't know. From what I gather, you have never lived here. Maybe you have loyalty to just the one team that you decided to become a fan of. But that is NOT the feeling of the natives around here.

    I mean, I live closer to both Akron and Canton than Cleveland. Does that mean, by your reckoning that I can't be a fan of Cleveland teams...because, after all, I am not from Cleveland?

    No, again, maybe it it your non-residency that gives you such a narrow point of view.

    But...that ain't "Us".

  • Okay, cool. So I claim all titles won in America, then...since we're just making shit up.

    Glad we got to the bottom of this.

    When you land on Mars, let us know. You can claim it on behalf of yourself.

    Don't need to land there. Mars is in my market - I claim their titles as well.

  • Need to claim all the Western Hemisphere medals at the next Olympics.

    Then simply do this: list the championships won by each TV market. You can include Mars.

    Like the dick of a guy who can claim 51 Super Bowl victories.

    Like a champion.
