Sometimes I like to think about what this team could be like if their fanbase spent less time sarcastically spewing tired, anti-ownership bullshit on social media or Indians threads and more time actually supporting the most well-run and respected franchise in the city.
Even though I haven't lived in Cleveland since 2011, I've spent thousands of dollars in tickets, concession fees and merchandise at Tribe games when I return home; I've spent hundreds of dollars in subscription costs to watch them on MLB.TV for nearly a decade; and have spent countless hours watching and listening to their games.
Just because I'm unhappy with austerity measures doesn't mean I haven't supported the team.
I don't need you to tell me how to "support" a team.
Your idea is cultish, which is your prerogative, but I'll pass on adopting that approach to fandom.
