According to AOL Sports:

When the New York tabloids caught Tom Brady wearing a NY Yankees cap, people in Boston were not pleased. They were even less pleased when the jet-setting quarterback said that he’s a fan of both the Yankees and the Red Sox, an absolute no-no on the Eastern seaboard.

Imagine how fans in Cleveland feel now that LeBron James, who regularly wears a Yankee hat, has come out and said that he’ll be rooting for the Bronx Bombers in the Playoffs even if they go up against his hometown Indians.

LeBron was asked who he would root for if the Indians and Yankees met in the playoffs (which, it appears they will do in the American League Division Series). LeBron’s response: “Yankees.”

He then went on to say he’d been a Yankees fan his whole life and we all just need to “deal with it.”

With many observers convinced that LeBron is not long for the city of Cleveland, especially if the front-office doesn’t surround him with enough talent to win a title (and with the tremendous endorsement opportunities available to James in a media town like New York), this latest revelation certainly won’t help insecure Cavs fans sleep any easier over the next few years.

World-renowned photographer Patrick Demarchelier photographed both stars for a new series of UNDP pro bono advertisements for the promotion of the Millennium Development Goals. Maria Sharapova, United Nations Development Programme Goodwill Ambassador, has invited NBA star LeBron James to “Team Up Against Poverty” on a new UNDP advertisement to garner support for achieving the eight Millennium Development Goals. This ad campaign revolves around the concept of “Teaming Up Against Poverty” to achieve the MDG’s. The advertisements features celebrities from the world of sports, arts, fashion or business portrayed in teams of two by the world’s greatest professional photographers. Fifty celebrities, including UNDP Goodwill Ambassadors and soccer greats Ronaldo and Zidane, have agreed to participate in the initiative to promote the MDG’s and are undertaking specific anti-poverty activities. More than 200 media outlets have offered full page space to publish the advertisements.
