That would also make him a fair-weather fan, Twitter users pointed out, ribbing the NBA superstar for what seems to be his ever-shifting team allegiances.
The dude isn’t a “fraud,” as some on social media called him. Just a baseball lover expanding his business empire and getting a stake in the majors.
But if you’re a Yankees diehard, a Bronx cheer wouldn’t be out of order.
I can’t believe a guy that is always wearing a Yankees hat would become a part owner of the Boston Red Sox. ?#LeBronJames

So today is interesting … Lebron James is becoming part owner of the Boston Red Sox. Man usually wears a Yankees hat, so I’ve got some questions…

LOL congrats to the King…this is amazing…new ownership is the only way to evolve these leagues in a real way

Been cheering for LeBron for a long time, since watching him play high school games. I consider him the GOAT. Now he switched loyalties from the Yankees and purchased a stake in the Red Sox.
Gutted.
Farewell, @KingJames
