Message for King James
Posted October 4th, 2007 by Pat McManamon
Fans at Jacobs Field apparently noticed James' hat.
A loud roar went up from the boisterous crowd when the scoreboard showed a gentleman holding a sign that read: "Lebron, it's not too late to change your hat."
Touche.

LeBron's wearing of a Yankees hat is equivalent to the unlikely event of Governor Strickland wearing a Michigan hat to an Ohio State game. I will continue to cheer for the Cavs and root AGAINST LeIdiot!

I think LeBron's possee should have known better than allow their star to show such distain for the Cleveland Indians. He can see his beloved Yankees anytime on his many trips to NYC. He didn't need to come into our house to show his loyalty to the big city. People in northeast Ohio will remember this.

Tony Rizzo made the point on his radio show this morning about him sitting behind home plate was what sorta put this over the top. If he's wearing a Yanks hat sitting in a box, nobody really cares. But to wear that Yanks hat, sitting behind home plate, at a playoff game between the two teams put it over the top in my mind. I don't care if he roots for the Yankees, but it just felt a little mean-spirited the way it happened last night. I hadn't joined this side of the debate prior to that happening, but it felt different somehow.

Maybe he's sending a message to his employers.

The preponderance of responses to blogs in NE Ohio seem to assail LeBron for his choice of hat…seems to me that people in the area would rather continue the mediocrity that is Cleveland ("I'll never cheer for LeIdiot again," "I'll burn my Cavs shirt and show him!," "I'll give up my season's tickets," yadda, yadda, yadda) than to acknowledge true commitment to a team, idea, or purpose.
Why don't we just require that anyone attempting to enter Jacobs Field be required to show true Indians blood by submitting to a paternity test and being able to pass a test of Indians history and lore? Why allow anyone not of the truly faithful to enter the hallowed grounds that are Jacobs Field? Why not incarcerate all those who can't recite Bob Feller's lifetime statistics on command?
Come on people—get a life. If you were that passionate about the real ills of the world; forget the world, try the ills of Cleveland, then this would be a place worth being from.
