The Cleveland Cavaliers showed a parody skit on their arena video screen Wednesday night, and they undoubtedly regretted it shortly thereafter.
The clip, which was actually a spin-off of another “Dirty Dancing” spoof, features a man and a woman who look like they are about to reenact the most famous dancing scene from “Dirty Dancing.” Instead, the man — who is wearing a Cavs shirt featuring the team’s postseason mantra “All In” — tosses the woman across the room when she takes off her apron and reveals a Chicago Bulls shirt.
At the end of the clip, the woman is shown holding an ice pack on her head and wearing a Cavs t-shirt.
“Well, I’m all in now,” she says. “Let’s just watch the game.”
While the video was intended to be lighthearted, it obviously sends a controversial message since the man basically abused his girlfriend/wife into becoming a Cavs fan. The team will almost certainly be issuing a statement of apology.
