I'm guessing you've never been pelted with a penny or a battery.. cause it hurts like a mother, and I couldn't imagine getting hit with one at a great distance..
We knew Albert Belle was a grade A jackass, but he was our jackass. He belted 50 bombs a year and was the cleanup hitter in a lineup that was absolutely stacked & almost won us a World Series.
We knew LeBron was a Grade A douche, but he was our douche. He was the MVP, put the Cavs on a part of the map they've never been, and almost led us to a title.
After 48 years without a championship, why is it so surprising that we'd support 2 guys who were such integral parts to us contending for championships.. then hate them when they A) left for the $ and B) made us look like fools ?
Same thing with Wade. If he was on our team, of course we'd support the hell out of him. That's kind of what being a fan is..
And I find it hilarious that the same people breathlessly lobbing verbal pennies and batteries at D Wade for a cheap shot (Albert Belle/Fernando Vina anyone?) would be the first ones in line at the Cavs merch store at the Q to buy his Wine and Gold #3 while telling their kids how great he is.
If you cant see the irony/humor in that, well... wait I dont care.
End.
