Nate Willis: Cleveland Indian Fans Disrespect Detroit...and then lose

The Detroit Tigers played the Cleveland Indians last night and it was a close game until the end. The Tigers ended up winning the game 6-5 but before the Indians lost, the drunken Cleveland fans decided to mock the Tigers fans in the stands by putting their own twist on the famed Tigers chant, "Let's Go Tigers!" into, "Detroit's Bankrupt!". Where's the beef, Cleveland? The Tigers are kicking ass right now with 11 straight wins and the streak is showing no sign of slowing. Could Cleveland be suffering from an inferiority complex when it comes to being Detroit's lesser?

I'm not one for pettiness but America isn't laughing at Detroit right now and the popular consensus seems to be that Cleveland fans were without class last night. I'm down for a friendly sports rivalry and if Cleveland really wants to get into a dick measuring contest, then let's go!
