So I've been wondering: What exactly is it that makes the Indians such a bummer — or a whipping boy, or a witch to be burned at the stake — to such a large portion of diehard Cleveland fans, including many who purport to be loyalists? Why are Indians executives seen by many as incurable blockheads, and the Dolans as a pox, while the Browns perpetually are seen as just a few little tweaks away from respectability? Something larger is at work here.
