Cleveland Strip Clubs: Opinion: Yankees should be most-disliked
The “Sentiment Rankings” formula ranges from a burning hatred, minus 5, to pure worship, a plus 5.
So why do so many people despise the Indians? They’ve only made the playoffs twice in the last 12 years — their only two winning seasons in that time frame, and they haven’t won a pennant since 1997. It’s not like Cleveland has done much recently to garner such unfavorable feelings from other sports fans.
Not since that stripper took over as owner of the Indians in the late 80s and tried to drive them into the ground have I seen such hatred for such a tough-luck team. It’s a good thing Charlie Sheen and Wesley Snipes turned out to be such stellar athletes or else that whole franchise may have folded by now. Huh? That was only a movie, you say? My bad, disregard that last point.
