Man in LeBron Heat Jersey Shows Up at Cleveland Indians Game, Gets Thrown Out

• The kid has every right to wear a lebron jersey. Popping your collar is well within your rights. The crowd most likely booed him before he popped his collar. I'm willing to bet some other people will try this. The kid shouldn't have been thrown out. It's not against the law to wear an opposing teams jersey. If people are mad so be it. Hell, we're talking about a trivial matter such as a jersey. People are really overreacting to this lebron situation. Is he paying your bills? If he's not writing you checks what are you mad for. Is sports that important in your life? He chose to work somewhere else get over it.

• Its funny how our state sucks lol?? I don't understand stupid idiots like u guys dissing ohio so dam much? Ohio loves its sports even if they do suck. And Miami sucked ass this year wade was going to leave that piece of shit team, only to find out soon that lebron and bosh was going to go there! how good did u guys do this year tell me that! U GUYS SUCK!! FLorida sports suck dick u ass holes. Yeah Screw lebron, if jordan wouldve left chicago he would have gotton shot!! lebron isnt gonna do shit with miami all that he will be known for now is a trator!!!

• How did Lebron sell out for money Butch??? He left 30 million on the table in Cleveland... granted Florida has no state tax so he'll end up breaking even.... but he left for RINGS! Lebron could barely get out of the conference in the playoffs.... much less beat Kobe and the Lakers in the Finals. Its all the TRI COUNTY AREA! WADE COUNTY! LEBROWARD COUNTY! WEST BOSH BEACH COUNTY! If they win or lose.... its still going to be an exciting season!

• I love how people not from Cleveland think they know the story. First of all, LeBron had two chances to get it done. If you actually watched the finals, he gave up. He made stupid mistakes he never would have made in other games. If you were actually at the game you would know thst this guy was being a dick and taunting the crowd. His girlfriend was calling everyone names. I'm all for tolerance, and freedom to wear whatever you want, but let's be honest... look at this dude. He's a gangbanger looking to start something. He asked for it, especially when he and his girlfriend taunts the crowd. I love when people call Cleveland a shithole and they haven't ever been here. #1 Hospitals, 3rd largest art collection in the world, world-class orchestra, an awesome music scene... we have good things here. Unfortunately it only takes a few bad apples to ruin to bunch. Really, LeBron is kind of a dick. Do some research. He's a world-class douchebag.

• I want to have my way with this dudes girl....damn what i would do to her..all attention on him...i would of grabbed her bent her over pulled up that skirt and let her have it..and she would of loved it

• for all you idiots who call cleveland fans names..get a life..what die hard fans they are..if this happend to any other city like it did cleveland the samething would of happend...what if someone wore a LA Lakers shaq jersey to a Orlando magic game 4 months after he left????samething would of went down. This kid is a god damn idiot. Lebron left cause cleveland wouldnt pay him???? seriously dude??? Lebron left cause he wanted to be second fiddle....this dude doesnt even know what hes talking about....If he was in the municipal lot at at browns game he and his girl would of been leaving and going to the hospital after getting a bad ass kicking..

• That is why inbreeding is wrong, all you get is Cleveland fans

• Is Cleveland for real?? http://www.youtube.com/mcohee88

• @Garret Its a Fucking Game get over it.

• i guess it's proven that cleveland natives are the dumbest people in the country. just because all of their sports teams sucks doesn't give them the right to take anger out on a fan of a star athlete who deserves more than to be on a shitty basketball team.

• That's B.S. He didn't anything wrong.

• Cleveland fans should be ashamed. LeBron sold out for money. Pro sports athletes tend to do that.. So would you. He is gone and you are probably better off without him. get used to it.

• lol sports fans. You really are the most ignorant lot for taking a sport and making it such a huge part of your lives. You people have nothing going on in your life so you attach yourself to other peoples glory. LOL SPORTS FANS

• Why do people always confuse freedom with protection. In this country you can wear what you want. That doesn't mean you won't get your @ss kicked. Had the police not led him out for his protection you would be asking why they allowed him to be beaten. Removing one idiot is safer than fighting off a gang of angry fans.

• Ohio only had one thing going for them...LeBron.

• "shows up in the Heat jersey and doesn't do anything to provoke being thrown out" This is SUCH an ignorant statement.

• Tim, I fail to see how you can just decide to compare the death of your brother to this clown and be upset about it. You were the one who made that comparison. I hope you see how your logic is flawed. I'm not trying to be a dick, but saying "I didn't punch the Westboro Church protesters, so the people who got mad at this guy are pathetic for doing so." just doesn't work. And honestly, you would have been well within your rights to punch a protester at your brother's funeral. I find it shocking that anyone can try to defend the kid. He was out to cause trouble from the get go. He had to have been aware of the city's hurt feelings yet he decided to show up and taunt people and act like a general idiot. I'm not condoning violence of any sort, but he had it coming. I'm not from anywhere near Ohio or Florida, and I can recognize that. Also, to any Heat fans talking smack: You probably didn't even know Miami had a basketball team until a month ago. Miami is a horrible sports town for any sport that isn't football. Any Miami fan is likely to be a total bandwagoner. You all couldn't even sell out your playoff games last year. Look it up. So stop acting like a-holes to Cleveland fans, because you all are just going to lose to the Lakers anyway.

• So did nobody see his girl?...damn i would of been trying to protect her pretty ass......she was hot as hell...her lips looked amazing

• I was the one who started it all this dude was flicking the crowd off shoving his jersey in peoples faces....if i had a few more beers in me i would of kicked his ass when i was up in this no good scumbags face....what he did is like going to a browns game wearing a ravens jersey and the name on the back says art modell

• A) Clevelanders (those who actually care about this) aren't mad at the fact that he left, they understand sports better than most cities and have watched MANY good players go to other teams. They are mad because he went on national TV to do an hour-long special to announce his decision. It was a smack in the face of the fans that supported him over the years. LOL - do people really think this is the first time a popular player has decided to go to another team??? B) He was taunting the crowd and they fought back. The POLICE removed him from the stadium, not the fans. If you act like an idiot at a sporting event in Cleveland (and other sports towns) the fans will let you know about it. In normal circumstances, it is all in good fun, but the police saw things were getting heated and escorted him out. It isn't like freaking crazy soccer fans killing each other. He went there looking to start something and he did. Bravo, tool. C) Most people in Cleveland would just like the whole thing to be over. The city isn't apoplectic over this. Dan Gilbert (Cav's owner), a few guys burning a jersey, and rowdy fans sitting through a terrible baseball game don't represent the whole city. I wish Clevelanders would focus on the great assets this city has, the Cleveland Clinic, the orchestra, the theater district, etc, but it is a sports town and there is no changing that.

• @ pronk ~~> you spelled traitor wrong further accentuating your ignorance, and the only reason Cleveland fans are pissed is because they've realized they will NEVER win a championship now, not only that but you lost Drew Carey to The Price Is Right, so I guess Cleveland doesn't "rock" so much anymore huh?

• I hope that guy gets a bunch of free shit or sues the police and or stadium. OHIO IS SO WAK.

• This is absolutely ridiculous. It's quite obvious that there is no class in Cleveland. Who cares what the guy was doing. We out here in the Northwest understand class in sports. Whether it's the Mariners, Trail Blazers, Beavers, Ducks, Ganzaga, Washington, Timbers, LumberJax, whatever, no one out here, not even our rednecks, would do something so horrible. This behavior, on both sides, makes me truly ashamed to be a part of the same nation as these Cleveland "fans." Though even that word is soiled by their conduct.

• McLovin - I don't like the westboro baptist church for wearing shirts that say "God Hates Soldiers" while intentionally protesting outside of my brother's funeral. They were there to intentionally get a rise out of us the same as this man was at the game. I dare say I had a much better reason to knock their teeth in than one of you angry over a pathetic sports team. Yet, I didn't. I controlled myself. You people should be ashamed of yourself. At the end of the day, it's just a game. Not a dead relative who died for your right to live your lives. You are pathetic.

• Cleveland is filled with a bunch of cry babies and sore losers who will never win anything, ever! LeBron has absolutely no ties to Cleveland, only Akron. He could care less about the now lottery bound Cavs and their horrible fans. Soak in misery while he wins multiple championships. We Are All Witnesses!

• This is probably the "greatest" thing those guys at the end of the first video (high fiving) have ever been a part of. Cleveland is a sorry sorry place, almost as bad as the morons in Philly.

• Tim, no when somebody is intentionally trying to piss off and harass clevelanders by flaunting the jersey like he was, then we get called a bunch of rednecks for getting pissed. Cleveland/Cuyahoga County is not like Southern Ohio at all theres virtually no farms or anything its all cities and suburbs. The only reason cleveland's pissed is because of how Lebron handled it, not because he left.

• Cleveland is a sad city with a bunch of pathetic fans! I'm glad I don't live there, because WINNING is not apart of their vocabulary! LOL

• Lebron was not born in Florida, he was born in Akron, Ohio. Of course Cleveland fans are going to boo this heat guy. The dude should have known better. People take their sports pretty damn seriously. I don't grudge him it, but Lebron was a home grown Ohio man and he left town. A lot of people are going to be salty about that.

• Tim, are you trying to argue that the kid wasn't trying to intentionally upset a bunch of people. Wearing clothing that someone doesn't like is one thing, wearing something that is intentionally purposed for bringing you negative attention is another. The kid was trying to be an ass and deserved anything that happened to him.

• Based off all these roid raging cleveland commentators, that city is a disgustingly poor excuse of humanity. Unbelievable. "LETS KICK THE CRAP OUT OF SOME GUY FOR WEARING A PIECE OF CLOTHING I DON'T LIKE." -Cleveland Rednecks

• screw that guy honestly. lebron is a selfish fuck and i think everyone in Cleveland deserves to be pissed off at him and the people who support his decision to go to miami. that guy mustve known that he was gonna stir up trouble... a fuckin Heat Lebron james jersey at a god damn baseball game?! what a fuckin douche. he was definitely asking for it. very disrespectful.

• You all are idiots. The kid deserved to have his butt kicked. Clearly, by showing up to the ballpark wearing that jersey he was hoping to draw some attention. It's different from wearing a jersey at home or even to a sports bar. He was being smarmy and thought it would be funny to rile up a bunch of rightfully upset people. The kid is the one with no class, and I hope he got beat down outside the park.

• Why shouldn't you get your ass kicked for wear a Che Guevara shirt?

• OMG HE LEFT FOR ANOTHER TEAM. WE'RE SO BUTTHURT, THE WORLD IS ENDING, AND I JUST FOUND OUT I'VE BEEN IN THE CLOSET. -Cleveland Don't call it the Cleveland steamer for nothing. That city reeks of cry babies and poor sports. It's ridiculous for this guy to be kicked out over some stupid 'hurt' feelings. @Garrett - You'd physically harm someone for wearing a jersey? Your entire post is hilarious. You say he's not classy and call the author insane for saying it's been 3 weeks, yet you're willing to bring physical harm to someone you don't know for wearing an article of clothing. You sir are one ignorant redneck. @Pronk - St. Louis is EXTREMELY passionate and we don't pull ignorant redneck stunts like that. It's great that your city is passionate about sports. It's not great that it's an ignorant cesspool of roid raging retards. Oh, and invest in your public school system - it's traitor, not "traytor". A little education might also help with this thing called "Tolerance".

• The man who wrote this article must not have been at the game. I was there sitting in the section next to the bleachers and witnessed the entire thing. The man with the Lebron Heat jersey was taunting the crowd. Puffing out his jersey with his hands to rub it in the crowd's face. I found it very offensive. Cleveland is a good city. We just need a little luck with sports. Our teams have been good, just like the Miami Dolphins were bad and will be amazing again! Even the Yankees fans were cheering to get this guy out of the stadium. He knew he was stirring up trouble. Cleveland is still bothered by the whole LeBron thing, but we will move on and so will the Cavs.

• Seriously what a failure of a state, Indians suck, clippers suck, and Nascar sucks. No one cares about you guys. Signed, The United States.

• wow in cleveland sports are more important than personal freedom. if the city is full of people like this no wonder its such a shit hole. i never had a problem with cleveland sports before, but now they are showing the rest of the US what little cry babbies they are. then again there is part of me that does understand. i understand the best part of cleveland just left. now i see why.

• No wonder LeBron wanted out of that shithole.

• Screw you all you miserable and pathetic fare-weather "fans". Unlike you, we are passionate about our sports teams in Cleveland and yes we will kick your sorry ass for wearing Leprick's jersey in our city. We support those who are loyal to us and destroy traytors.

• This classy behavior just goes to show that LeBron James made the right choice in leaving the cesspool known as Cleveland.

• Lebron gave Cleveland a shot, it's just simply a losing city. If he can't win there nobody can. Stick to baseball, its all u got. Cleveland should probably sell their basketball team in hopes that maybe, just maybe with that much money,they could pay some real athletes to move to that shithole.

• i dont get y u cant wear a che shirt in cleveland some one explain please

• He wants a championship ring, if he stayed in Cleveland he would not even see a ring unless he shake hands with Kobe. Heat it up MIAMI!!!

• It's funny how this big three for miami will fail.

• Really, that's not as bad as wearing a Che shirt in Miami. Sad but true.

• Good for the Cleveland fans. The dude showed absolutely no class in wearing the damned shirt and deserved to have his ass kicked. If Lebron was a 76er and did to them what he did to the Cavs and this dip shit showed up to to a Phillies game he would be lucky to get through the front gates. Cleveland fans show more class than the fans of a lot of other cities. It's ONLY been three weeks is your comment. Get frigging real dude. You think the wounds have somehow healed in such a short time? You need to be certified crazy. If a person wants to support the Heat that is fine but don't expect to flaunt such in a Cleveland stadium or arena. You can support the Heat but that does not mean the people of Cleveland and surrounding counties have to let you get away with it. It is a free country I know. You are free to support Lebron with the Heat while in a Cleveland sports facility and the fans are free to kick the sh** out of you.

• Would you say Cleveland still has a grudge that Lebron decided to leave his past suckie team to play for a real team. I think so. Choke on it Cleveland !

• Cleveland, U MAD?

• the Heat only have one fan, they should try to keep him under control.

• what was that guy thinkin? what a moron

• and that about wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt is true...and I thought that leaving in the U.S.A had a freedom to wear anything you want...

• What is the Number One medical problem in Cleveland? From the sound of their mentally-challenged fans, knuckle carpet scrapes, banana peel slips, and learning the alphabet. "MajumBLA? Ugg, ungawa Cheetah."
