    After wasting tax dollars for sweetheart deals to build Gund Arena and Cleveland Browns Stadium, any local official willing to risk a political career on building yet another sports arena deserves to be crowned the Sultan of Stupidity.

    Ripping off Janet Jackson's underwear is one thing. Ripping off a city or a county, or simply the perception of such a money grab, will earn Wolstein such disdain, he'll wish he had never wished out loud for an outdoor professional soccer team for Cleveland.

    Bert Wolstein, who is trying to bring a Major League Soccer franchise to the area, said at a rally Thursday night that Summit County officials are showing more interest in the project than their counterparts in Cuyahoga County

    They don't deserve it. Put a team somewhere else.

    Yeah, let's put a team in Albuquerque!! Better yet, how about a team in Carson City!! That way San Jose would have a close team to be rivals with!!

    On a completely unrelated note --- is anybody else getting upset when stupid people make stupid posts?

    Honestly, if Cleveland wants to be happy with what they have and not get a soccer team, that's their problem. I was hoping for the rivalry that this would build, but I'm glad I can remained focused on hating those punk-as$ F*re Ultras.

    Yes. That is the exact reason I posted that. I'm sorry it was a bit blunt. Dealing with ignorance put me in a bad mood. Back on topic, I've been reading the cleveland.com boards recently and am sick of people there whining about having to drive all of 20 extra miles if they are to put a stadium in Summit County. Having grown up in the area, I know how fair-weather Cleveland fans are. It seems with all the stadium problems, this "team" would be a bother to Clevelanders more than anything, and I don't think they will be as patient with a team as New England or San Jose were. At first I was looking forward to this in state rivalry, now I would rather see a another city get it. There are plenty of other cities in the country that could support an MLS team.

    I'm always upset with stupid people. But seriously, the most annoying thing has gotta be that the stupid people in question usually aren't even Crew fans. They just post threads on here that are about the stupidest sh-t ever, or usually just sh-t I couldn't give a f-ck about. Like Mark Williams. Don't give a sh-t about that guy. But of course, I always have to be kept up-to-date on his whereabouts.

    Hey, if one Mark Williams thread isn't enough, maybe someone will start a second. What, it already did? Well, maybe we'll see a third. I just can't get enough Mark Williams.
