Heard it on ESPN…

I have never witnessed such a pathetic sports city in my life. It must suck bad to be a Cleveland fan.

The problem is that the city is so terrible that the sports are the only things they have for entertainment. And I won’t see Cleveland win a championship in my lifetime. They will lose over 60 games next season. Book it.

This happens in every city whenever an athlete leaves for a new team. A jersey of a former player doesn’t have much value to the average fan ( immediately that is…theres usually retro value in ten years though). This isnt news and isn’t specific to Cleveland.

Dan Gilbert owns the company Fathead (poster company) and cut the price of a LeBron fathead down to $17.41, the same year Benedict Arnold was born.

Will Dan Gilbert make a Miami Heat LeBron fat head? I would buy one for 17.41.

I was about to say the same thing. Once a player switches teams his jerseys value is damn near nothing untill years after they retire

OMG, Dan Gilbert is really pi$$ing me off.

This $17.41 LeBron Fathead price is so ridiculous and immature of this bitter owner.

First, it is complete nonsense to sell the Fatheads at a $17 price, even if LeBron left. Secondly, selling the fatheads at that price is only a sucker, “business” attempt to still sell his product while brainwashing the fans into believing this Benedict Arnold image of LeBron in being a “sell out.” Thirdly, I hope LeBron catches Dan somewhere alone and really whoops his @$$. Gilbert deserves it. How do you threaten a player who’s done all he could for your franchise and decided to make a personal choice on his own terms? This only shows me how low owners can stoop when they don’t get their way. I mean, the man (LeBron) still has family and friends in Cleveland and he’s adding fuel to the fire. If I was LeBron and something happened to my family as a result of Gilbert’s antics of firing the city even more, I’d be looking to square off with that f@ggot.
