Fan Forced To Cover Up Braun 'Fraud' Jersey 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Jul 27, 2013 2:45 pm

A woman was asked by security at Miller Park on Wednesday night to leave the game after she changed her Ryan Braun jersey to read "FRAUD."


Karen Eidem, 37, papered over the letters "B" and "N" in Braun's name with the letters "F" and "D" on the back of her Brewers shirt after the slugger accepted a season-ending, 65-game suspension after admitting to violating baseball's rules on performance-enhancing drugs.


"A lot of fans complimented me on the jersey," Eidem said. "It was all meant in good fun. It wasn't meant to be derogatory."


Eidem said security tapped her on the shoulder while she was standing with friends at the ballpark. She said she was told her the modified shirt violated the fan code of conduct, and that she would have to change the shirt or leave the ballpark. Eidem turned the shirt inside out and stayed for the game.
