Tim Peel rips LeBron James to shreds for disrespecting a fan

Someone else who is like that, but in the hockey world, is none other than former NHL referee Tim Peel. While they come from two different worlds, Peel found himself weighing in on LeBron's actions earlier today.

In a now-viral clip, LeBron can be seen telling a fan to stop harassing him. The fan was clearly looking for an autograph, and many took exception to how LeBron handled it. Peel was one of those people, noting that in the hockey world, this would have never happened.

Hockey fans are usually quick to make such comments, especially as it pertains to the way certain athletes handle injuries. Having said that, it remains to be seen if LeBron will apologize to the fan. Now that the Olympics are over, it seems fairly unlikely that he will do. Either way, it was not a good look, whatsoever.
