Cleveland fans always hear how hard it must be to cheer on the teams that always lose. The teams that never make the playoffs and the teams that always disappoint.

But being a Cleveland fan of any sort is never about the wins or losses. Of course the wins are a bonus, but they're not the only point. Have you ever noticed how the fans cheer harder than any other team? How the Cleveland fans are the most dedicated fans you will ever see? How the fans pick each other and the teams up when everyone is discouraged?

There are no dedicated fans like the ones you'll find cheering on the Land.

If you ask a Cleveland fan what it's like, they will tell you it can be rough. They will tell you that they get crap for it all the time, but couldn't imagine supporting anybody else. They will tell you the Cavaliers brought home a ring and our Indians are the AL Central Champions. The Browns are a work in progress, but the Monsters won the Calder Cup. So being a Cleveland fan is paying off now more than ever.

Yes, there is such thing as the Cleveland Curse, but we do not let it define us. We let it push us to gain strength and power. We let it force us to cheer harder and believe in our teams more than anybody else. It allows us to set goals and accept each failure as stepping stones to the top.

Cleveland is the land to believe in.

Here's to cheering our hearts out, drinking endless beer and rooting for the teams that have held our hearts for so many years.
