After learning of the news that LeBron James had agreed to join the Los Angeles Lakers I was immediately struck by two thoughts. First, it is clear the city of Cleveland is not allowed to have nice things like championships and great players and second, the Cavaliers are about to lose A LOT of fans.
Without an NBA team to call their own, many basketball fans in Pittsburgh support that team across state lines. While I have personally never been able to cheer for anything that starts with the word Cleveland, there are plenty of Pittsburgh Steelers players who are fans of the Cavaliers too.
