CLEVELAND — Papa John's Pizza issued an apology to Cleveland and the Cavaliers for making T-shirts with LeBron James' number and the word "crybaby" under it.
To apologize, Papa John's will sell Cleveland residents a large, one-topping pizza for 23 cents on Thursday. The 23 is an homage to James' jersey number. The company also will donate $10,000 to the Cavaliers Youth Fund.
The pizza chain's T-shirts were featured during the Cavs' games against the Wizards on Friday in Washington. Wizards fans taunted the Cavs, who won the payoff series that night in Game 6.
The shirts started after James complained about hard fouls, and Wizards center Brendan Haywood called him a crybaby.
Wah, Cry about it some more.
RIP Sense of Humor
Washington fans need to learn a lesson in $#!TT@LK!NG. Yeah, Lebron is a crybaby. Or he totally annihilates your entire team, one of the two... not sure. I would like to extend a large thank you to the Wizards. It's been really nice having a bye in the first round for the last three years. Go Cavs!
