CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cleveland is awash in influence this week, less than a month after Cleveland was packed with a renewed sense of joy.
Politics shapes the world.
Sports changes your life.
The Republican National Convention nominating a presidential candidate in Cleveland is a big deal, but would anyone this week really want to see a shirtless Donald Trump on a parade float, J.R. Smith style?
Just weeks after casting off a pall built up over 52 years, no one understands the influence of sports better than fans in Ohio.
