Bryce Harper’s appearance at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final surely didn’t sit well with some Washington Nationals fans.
The Washington Capitals and Vegas Golden Knights played Game 4 of their series in D.C. on Monday. In attendance were a few members of another of the city’s teams. Nationals stars Max Scherzer and Ryan Zimmerman were at Capital One Arena decked out in Caps gear and fired up.

Harper was also in the building, but he was wearing a different color jersey.

Harper was born and raised in Las Vegas, so his decision to wear a Golden Knights jersey to support his hometown team is understandable. However, given the town he now plays professionally, there were some who were less than pleased.

Bryce Harper wearing a Vegas jersey in DC is criminal.
