The "Prove It" Movement":
The city of Cleveland has been through its ups and downs over the years. From being called "The Mistake on the Lake", to the illicit sports curse that has plagued the City of Cleveland for over 60 years. The Cleveland Indians, Cavaliers and Browns have combined to not win a championship since 1964, the longest-such active drought in sports today. They've been close and ev
en advanced to some big games, but at the end of the day, it just wasn't meant to be. There have been so many unfortunate instances that some of the moments are now mostly known as just "The" followed by a one-word description, because they are so memorable and distinct, like "The Fumble", "The Drive", "The Shot", and "The Decision", just to name a few. For many people in Cleveland, losing is an unfortunate way of life. Since the unfortunate and lengthy drought, our sports teams have lost a whole generation of young sports fans who have no connection with Cleveland teams. No team pride, No heroes to emulate on Sunday and no interest in participating in anything positive. Our city has been forced to become satisfied with mediocrity. Well, we are tired of it! It's time to force a change! We are calling on the city as a whole to force a change in the way we think and feel about our sports teams, our city government, our residents, our businessmen, our young people, and our adults. The new Cleveland Sports Creed Says it all. The Cleveland Sports Fan Creed
We are Cleveland Sports fans
We are the best fans in the world
We are ready for a change
We are denouncing "The Curse"
No more "Red Right 88"
No more of "The Shot"
No more of the "Fumble" or "The Drive"
We are tired of "Waiting 'til Next Year"
We will start walking like WINNERS! We will start thinking like CHAMPIONS! You told us to "Be a Witness!"
You told us to "Rise UP!"
You told us we were "All IN!"
You even told us to "Catch the Fever!" and "Be a Believer!"
Now it's our turn to speak
We have one thing we want you to do.……
"PROVE IT!"
