Boston Red Sox Fans Were Fuming Over LeBron James Becoming Part Owner Of The Franchise
LeBron James has made moves again.
Yesterday, it was reported that the four-time NBA Champion has become a part-owner of a Major League Baseball’s Boston Red Sox, as he and his longtime friend and business partner Maverick Carter joined Fenway Sports Group as partners.
LeBron James to become part owner of Red Sox, both he & Maverick Carter each join Fenway Sports Group as partners, first and only Black partners in FSG history.
FSG also approves $750M investment from RedBird Capital Partners. Deal pending MLB approval.https://t.co/N7gibdlNhs— Michael Silverman (@MikeSilvermanBB) March 16, 2021
These news, paired with the fact that LeBron singlehandedly held the incredible Boston Celtics team around Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo to one sole championship, ending their hopes for another one again and again during his time with the Miami Heat, while becoming the arch enemy of Celtics fans, had Red Sox and Boston sports fans fuming.
Oh and LeBron being a Yankees fan didn’t make things any better…
When I went to a game at Fenway in 2014, there were people selling "F*ck LeBron" shirts on the walk from the train to the stadium. They don't like him.
Between how much they hate him there and his Yankees fandom, this is next level stuff by LeBron. https://t.co/s1QnRtUxHa

Why would Lebron own part of the Red Sox? He’s a Yankee fan…. this just reeks. I don’t know that I can wear a Red Sox hat anymore
