Here are a couple more. It doesn't happen ever day in the Cuyahoga River either, just once 45 years ago.

And from what I understand the Cuyahoga has cleaned up significantly since the river fire.

Cleveland has always gotten a bad rap. It is a fine city I have been there. Cleveland is the home of Polka Queen Lynn Marie. The only issue right now is with one of the city sports celebrities, Johnny Manzell. This man is a young drunk punk that needs to get sacked hard. I hope he's hungover and his sorry but ralphs all over the field.

You really can't hold an entire city accountable for one idiot though. If we are discussing the bad behavior of athletes you can point fingers at lots of sports celebrities in lots of cities. No reason why Cleveland shouldn't have its share unfortunately.
