It’s hard not to feel good for Cleveland. Even if you’re the most resolute LeBron James hater, regardless of whether you take joy in the Browns’ ineptitude every year — the city finally did it. No longer is Cleveland the epicenter of sports heartbreak. The town has its title. These photos of fans say it all.
