Wolstein

The passing of Bert Wolstein is too bad for Cleveland. Not to be cold or anything, but he seemed kind of like a jerk. But that's often the way a good businessman is going to come off so let's not hold that against him too much. What really sucks is that this probably shelves the plan for an MLS team in Cleveland. It's been a while since I've written anything about that -- but nothing has really happened anyway. In fact, the city of Cleveland has all but ignored Wolstein's overtures for help in financing a stadium (the current budget woes make that mostly understandable, but still you'd think at least the county would be all over this). Last I heard Wolstein had been quoted as saying he was just going to wait things out until either something happened to help build a stadium or MLS pulled the plug. Anyhow... So long Mr. Wolstein, and thanks for giving us some entertainment over the years with the Cavs, a bid for the Browns, and especially with soccer in Cleveland.
