Miami homeless don’t want old LeBron James jerseys?

The Summer of LeBron just got weirder. In July, a group of guys in Northeast Ohio launched a campaign to collect LeBron James’ old Cleveland Cavaliers jerseys and send them to homeless people in Miami. It seemed like a wholesome idea. Clevelanders were so pissed off at the King’s betrayal of his hometown to join the Heat, they were burning formerly treasured polyester heirlooms in the streets. Why not turn that anger into charity? There was just one tiny problem. Homeless advocates in Miami didn’t want tainted goods. “It’s on hold right now,” says Rita Clark of the Miami Coalition for the Homeless. “There’s a lot of politics around this.” The coalition had been in talks with the Cleveland do-gooders but ran into some resistance here in South Florida. Apparently, a marketing plan based on the concept of Here — take a bunch of stuff we hate! wasn’t particularly appealing. Clark says she heard that Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado was opposed to the donation plan.  — Palm Beach New Times
