Justin Bieber Payback Time: Chicago Blackhawk Fans Step On Singer’s Face
Justin Bieber has made one faux pas after another, but for Chicago Blackhawks fans, nothing he did is more sacrilegious than stepping on the team's logo on their locker room. The 19-year-old Canadian singer irked hockey fans when he stood on the sacred chief logo that no one ever stands on, and now they're out to deliver payback.
Stepping on a team's logo is the ultimate sign of disrespect for many ice hockey fans. And as a self-proclaimed ice hockey fan, Justin should know this.
But earlier in July, he either he just forgot or he just didn't care and had done the unthinkable. He stood on the logo just to take a picture of the team's recently won Stanley cup in their locker room.
So now a group of Blackhawk fans are getting their revenge on the tween heartthrob.
Chris Wilkerson, Mark Wegener, and Josh Kaye decided to teach Justin how to respect the team by doing exactly what he did. But instead of the Blackhawk logo, it's Justin's face that they stepped on.
The trio had their photo taken while standing on a giant cut-out of the singer's face at the team's annual fan convention on Saturday at the Hilton Chicago. But not content to just do it themselves, they've asked Tommy Hawk, the Blackhawk mascot, to take his revenge on the Biebs as well.
"We don't appreciate bandwagoners," they wrote in an email to Yahoo! Sports. "When we saw Justin Bieber not only stand on the logo, but touch the cup as well, we were astonished," they said, referring to another Justin's pic in which he touched the Stanley Cup, another big no-no for hockey fans.
The fans were able to snappver 100 photos of them and other fans stepping on Justin's head in multiple locations. They chronicled their satisfying retribution on the Stand on Bieber Twitter account (@StandOnBieber).
"To be quite honest, it started as a joke of revenge, but it's transpired into what we feel is Blackhawk pride, and more so Chicago pride," they said in the email. "It's all in good fun; we're not hate mongers."
Justin apparently apologised for his gaffe to the Blackhawks. A PR staff for the team told TMZ that he apologised to them in the dressing room after the etiquette breach.
But while he has apologised for his sports blunder, Justin wouldn't own up to something that he allegedly did not do. Selena Gomez's ex-boyfriend was photographed spitting on his fans from the balcony of his Toronto hotel room. However, his rep denied that he did that, claiming TMZ superimposed photos to make him look like a jerk.
TMZ denied manipulating the photos, insisting that there were really fans below when Justin spit.
