LeBron James is sending a strong message to Browns fans following Deshaun Watson’s injury

One of Cleveland’s biggest advocates sent a strong message to Tanning fans in the wake of Deshaun Watson‘s injury situation.

Watson went down with what appears to be a season-ending Achilles tear just before halftime of the team’s eventual 21-14 loss to the Bengal. It made for a strange scene in which frustrated fans appeared to cheer for an impending quarterback change, while Watson lay face down and despondent as trainers rushed to his side.

He was eventually put on the medical cart and received the usual applause from the fans once an injured player was safely secured and on his way to the locker room. However, it was too little too late for many Browns players who did not forget the initial reaction.

Cornerback Greg Newsome called it “bull***” after the game, while star pass rusher Myles Garrett called on fans to “be better.” Backup quarterback Jameis Winston delivered an emphatic sermon to dispel the behavior.

Hours later, former Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James felt the need to address this topic through X.

James can certainly speak from experience. He’s gotten his fair share of hate from Cleveland fans over the years, especially after he first left the Cavaliers in 2010. Miami heat James then spent the next four years as perhaps the most hated sports figure in Cleveland sports history.

When the Akron native returned to Cleveland in 2014 and ultimately brought a championship to the city, the anger-filled relationship between him and the city thawed. So much so that even now James plays for the Los Angeles Lakershis opinions on all things Northeast Ohio are held quite highly.

The incident clearly rubbed James the wrong way so much that he felt the need to send an assertive message to a fanbase he still shares a strong bond with.
