In The Least Surprising News Of All Time, LeBron Is A Wine At The Game Kinda Guy
Nick Cammett. Getty Images.LeBron James is currently on summer vacation. Now when I think about a nice little getaway, you know I'm thinking about booking a trip to northeast Ohio. So he made his return to the city of Cleveland to take in game 4 between the Cavs and Celtics, and got a hero's welcome back to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
Now before we get any deeper here, I just want to clarify that in no way am I an anti-wine guy. A good glass of red can hit the spot like none other. With that being said, there's a time and a place. A nice dinner. A cozy winter night on the couch. The first couple of drinks at a wedding before you really start to hit the dance floor. Wine is fantastic. HOWEVA….there's just something that is ridiculously off-putting and untrustworthy about the guy who orders a glass of red at a game. You just get that feeling in your gut that there's something seriously wrong with it.
I'm willing to give LeBron a pass if he's using that coffee cup for the wine. But a glass of wine at a game? You've got to be one of the most reckless or selfish individuals on the planet. You're either going to sit there like a statue all night and bring zero energy to the game to avoid spilling all over the place. Or you're going to douse everyone around you in merlot every time something exciting happens. Spilling beer is just a part of the in-game experience. It might get sticky and smell a bit, but you can get beer out with a single wash. But imagine if anyone else sitting in LeBron's vicinity decided to throw on a pair of white pants while he's got a bottle of wine sloshing around everywhere? Those pants are ruined for life unless you become one of those bizarre anti-circumcision protesters.
I just feel like with all the different options available for canned beverages these days, there's just no excuse. Seltzer, vodka sodas, spiked teas, the options are limitless. Wine at the game is really just a way to make the game about yourself. Total "me" guy move.
