Why all the hate towards Michigan?
Ok, so I was at CP about a week ago and as always the employees usually ask where you're from and whenever I would say Michigan they would always say "Oh sorry to hear that" or something around those lines. So why all the hate towards Michigan in Ohio? Is it footbal rivalries?
I would say maybe the economy...but I heard it is just as bad in Ohio as Michigan. I am a Michigander and I hate it. I don't know about Ohio, but it is few and far in between that I will actually meet a nice person in Michigan. Everyone here is rude, stuck up, snooty, etc. I had always thought that that was just normal, until I visited other states.
"You wanna, you gotta, you hafta hold on, Cedar Point...HOLD ON!"
Ohio is just jealous. They knew if we annexed Cedar Point that the rest of the state could fall into a black hole and nobody would notice or care!

As a fellow Michigander, I would have to agree. Or perhaps it's the fact that we're the state with three of it's cities listed in the top ten most dangerous in the US: Detroit, Flint, Saginaw

The majority of Michigan is beautiful, but I seriously doubt that anyone is jealous of Detroit or Flint.
As far as the economy is concerned, I think Michigan is probably sufferring a little more than the rest of the Midwest.
All of the Ohians are just jealous of our ability to use proper grammar and not add unnecessary articles into our speech.
Ohio's economy is pretty horrible with the exception being Columbus. Check out this Forbe's list of America's fastest dying cites. spoiler 4/10 are in Ohio.
Any hate towards Mich has to be purely OSU vs. M. What possible reason could someone have for hating someone from Michigan. Even so it's a light hearted hate said with a smile. If you genuinly hate someone you have never met before based solely on what state they are from then you have social problems.

Yeah, Nobody wants Detroit or Flint's problems. On top of that, they keep this state in a constant welfare state. It's mega irritating.

That said, we should bring this to a close.
