I love when people get offended for other people.
Ahhhh Deadspin. The home of “Everyone is racist except me, and every city is racist except for my city of residence” rhetoric. I have a bookmark created just so I can get my daily dose of condescension and self aggrandizing. You nailed it with the first comment. Points for efficiency

Sports Illustrated investigated and exposed his greed and ineptitude — which culminated in him being forced to sell the team despite the deal he got. Cleveland, Cuyahoga County and the state were willing to help…
