Someone who owns some DC area Popa John's decided to try this as a promotion. I'm sure it was CORPORATE that did this.
Papa John's in Cleveland Area have different owners who shouldn't be hurt because of the decisions of owners in DC.
Here is an email received by a Cavs fan

This is the E-mail I got back about 30 minutes after I let them know what I thought about this stunt:
Mr. *****,
Please call me at your earliest convenience to discuss the complaint
you sent through. I understand your anger. Unfortunately, I found out
about the shirts last night when everyone else in Cleveland did. I DO NOT
condone the actions of the person in Washington who took it upon himself to have these shirts printed. At 11pm last night, our corporate office was
alerted to the blatant disregard for ethical sportsmanship and the fact that
our logo was being dragged through the mud.
Cleveland Papa Johns nor our corporate office in Louisville knew of the IDIOTIC endeavor of the Washington subhuman and are working diligently to fix the problem. Sir, my heartfelt apologies for the way OUR Mr. James was treated. I have lived in Ohio for 42 years. If there is one thing I have learned...is ya just DONT pick on OUR guys! Cleveland ROCKS and we stand 100% behind LeBron James!!
So, no it wasn't corporate that did this.
