Sports fans have been doing this since the late 2000s; however, a more notable ubiquity was in July of 2010 when LeBron James left the Cleveland Cavaliers to join the Miami Heat in free agency. Many also burned Colin Kaepernick's jersey in 2016 after he refused to stand for the national anthem. These are just some of the many occurrences.
