Attention Cavs Fans, LeBron Loves the NY Yankees

When the New York tabloids caught Tom Brady wearing a NY Yankees cap, people in Boston were not pleased. They were even less pleased when the jet-setting quarterback said that he's a fan of both the Yankees and the Red Sox, an absolute no-no on the Eastern seaboard.

Imagine how fans in Cleveland feel now that LeBron James, who regularly wears a Yankee hat, has come out and said that he'll be rooting for the Bronx Bombers in the Playoffs even if they go up against his hometown Indians.
LeBron was asked who he would root for if the Indians and Yankees met in the playoffs (which, it appears they will do in the American League Division Series). LeBron's response: "Yankees."

He then went on to say he'd been a Yankees fan his whole life and we all just need to "deal with it."
With many observers convinced that LeBron is not long for the city of Cleveland, especially if the front-office doesn't surround him with enough talent to win a title (and with the tremendous endorsement opportunities available to James in a media town like New York), this latest revelation certainly won't help insecure Cavs fans sleep any easier over the next few years.
