Cleveland Cavs Fans Jump The Shark, Claim SI Kids Cover is Mocking Them

Above is a recent issue of Sports Illustrated for Kids featuring an artist rendering of Miami Thrice as the Three Musketeers.

Well, as to be expected, Cleveland Cavaliers fans and general Clevelanders decided to freak out that this cover is taking a cheap shot at their team.

We get more from NewsNet 5 in Cleveland:

The cover image features the Cavs former star, LeBron James, and his teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. And Miami’s “Big Three” are dressed in Cavalier garb--likely a Three Musketeers reference--with Miami Heat jerseys that have a wine-and-gold tint.

The words “All for One” are followed with “And Wins for All?”

After the departure of James, the Cavs shifted to a new image and model, which is highlighted by the team’s slogan, “All for One. One for All.” The slogan has been used in commercials, apparel and on the team’s website.
I'm just at a loss for words here, I can't even make a joking reference at this point.
