==Sports==
Cleveland is home to the [[NFL]]'s [[Cleveland Browns|Browns]], the [[NBA]]'s [[Cleveland Cavaliers|Cavaliers]], [[Major League Baseball|Baseball's]] [[Cleveland Indians|Indians]], and the [[American Hockey League|AHL]]'s [[Cleveland Monsters|Monsters]]. The Cavaliers rose to prominence in the late 2000s and 2010s under star player [[LeBron James]], who led the Cavs to the NBA Championship in 2016, giving the city it's first major sports title since the 1964 Browns won the NFL Championship.
The Indians have (by and large) been of the top MLB teams from the mid 1990s into the 2010s, winning three American League pennants and winning 10 Central Division titles during that time frame. However, they have not won a World Series since 1947; the longest such streak among active MLB franchises.
The Browns - who had been considered one of the NFL's most respected franchised from the 1940s until the team moving to Baltimore in 1995 - have been known for their futility since returning to the NFL in 1999, with the absolute low point occurring in 2017 when they went 0-16, becoming only the second NFL team to do so in the 16-game season era.
