this the offseason so i'll ask
as an outsider, how come i know more famous people coming out of cleveland more than columbus? same goes for detroit over east lansing but for more obvious reasons because of the auto industry. it is because of the 'industry next to the lake effect?'
from cleveland, there's arsenio hall, steve harvey, jim brown, drew carey, halle barry, bone thugs just off top

hell, there's more famous people coming out of cincinnati more than columbus...isn't columbus supposed to have the flagship university over the capital and all those advantages?

from motown alone, detroit has a ton of famous people compared to east lansing, and ann arbor is a college town for school

...if your city is next to a giant body of water and has industry like chicago, and isn't polluted like the love canal next to niagra falls or flint, then there's the possibility for people to rise up and overcome circumstances in a major way...indiana people who have ambition end up in chicago by proximity
i always hear that minnesota, wisconsin, and upper peninsula -- hell the most of the upper united states from rural, conservative, eastern washington/oregon to minnesota have these white-flight ass states like idaho who are racist because they don't know how to treat blacks outside of racially profiling them or being trigger happy police to finally use excessive force like it's COD and it's too cold to live up there anyways, so the handful of minorities that do end up there end up being 2nd class citizens...unlike the south, there's remains of jim crow and segregation laws where certain jurisdictions are predominant with certain races, and the CDC/hospitals/industry just dump diseases/health hazards into the poor region's water supply unless it belongs to a footfall powerhouse -- we just learn to avoid certain regions and moreless coexist and sometimes intermingle over football or through work, but every time there's no organized work, hobbies, or public transportation to bring people together where instead people are just farming, hunting, or raising livestock in seclusion, then that's where systemic racism starts because people are shallow and organize people by caricatures of what they see, perpetuated by media such as right winged outlets, which is dangerous and divides the nation, so get in where they can socially accept you in order to thrive, and you don't realize that your area is intrusively indirectly indoctrinating the population to not succeed until you leave that region and have hindsight
the offseason sucks...the conference realignment is crazy...people are just reposting social media posts with quips but barely doing any analysis...need to go hard and analyze something just to realize what's going on
