Your schtick is really tiresome. The fanbase in Cleveland isn't ideal--a mixture of economics, Downtown Cleveland's small population, and yes, relative apathy compared to the Browns makes it far from perfect--but whose fault is it that they negotiated a shitty TV deal? Tampa, with way less fans, has an annual income of $80 million in revenue from their local TV deal. The Indians have been top 5 in TV ratings for the past few seasons, and are getting half of that in annual revenue from their contract with Fox Sports. Is it the fans fault that Silver Spoon Dolan negotiated an awful deal? With the deal set to expire in a few seasons, you'd think they could invest the $ from the new deal--which given the precedent from recent deals will be quite lucrative-- into the payroll during a window of contention. Nope, instead we get cries of losing money from Dolan, even though the league is more profitable than ever, and the Indians, like every other team, refuse to open their books. Where is the ASG $ going? What about the revenue sharing from the league's new TV deal and MGM cash? According to your logic, that's not worth inquiring about. Just blame attendance for everything and pray that Paul Dolan doesn't have to eat peanut butter and mayo sandwiches because those terrible fans won't reciprocate his generosity.
