Cleveland, Ohio is now home to overhyped professional athletes and politicians

The City of Cleveland, Ohio has been in the national spotlight for the past few weeks.

First, the NFL's Cleveland Browns drafted quarterback Johnny Manziel, who played for Texas A&M University in college football for two years, winning the Heisman Trophy as a redshirt freshman.

Second, Cleveland landed the 2016 Republican National Convention, which will officially nominate the Republican Party's candidates for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States. Republicans are all but certain to nominate presidential and vice-presidential candidates who support far-right political views that would wreck the American economy, destroy what little is left of the middle class, and take away rights from the American people.

Earlier today, Lebron James, one of the most high-profile NBA players, announced that he is returning to Cleveland to play for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

With Manziel, James, and whoever Republicans nominate for president and vice president, Cleveland will now be home to overhyped professional athletes and politicians. Well, at least it's not home to a burning river anymore, although the Republicans who will gather in Cleveland two years from now want to weaken environmental regulations so that the Cuyahoga River could be set on fire again, which would be an absolutely terrible thing to happen.
