Cleveland stands as one of America’s most passionate sports cities, supporting teams across multiple major leagues.
The Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Cleveland Guardians each command devoted followings, though only the Cavaliers have delivered a championship in recent memory with LeBron James leading that historic run.
The question now centers on which franchise will capture the next title for the city.
Browns legend Hanford Dixon recently addressed this topic during his podcast, delivering a confident prediction about his former team.
“I think it’s gonna be the Browns. I think there is no question because guys, let me tell you this – I don’t care how many games the Guardians win, I don’t care how many games the Cavs win. This is still, always will be, a Browns town,” Dixon said.
