Rap artist The Game wants to let St. Louis Cardinals fans who could travel back to Los Angeles for Game 5 of the National League Divisional Series to watch where they wear their Cardinal red.
According to TMZ, a reporter for the website caught up to the rapper and asked him about baseball. The Game told the reporter that he does watch baseball and that he is a fan of the Dodgers, who are playing the Cardinals in the NLDS.
When the reporter ask him if they could be cool if he (the reporter) wore a Cardinals jersey, The Game replied:
“It depends on where you are out here, because the Cardinals are red, you get caught in the wrong hood, it might not be about baseball. It might be about baseball bats.”
After the video was put up on social media, many took to Twitter to call out The Game on his comments:
@TMZ tell Game and LA to be careful where they wear blue in STL….

@TMZ What a lovely place to live. Fantastic people out there no doubt. — EL MACHO (@MMAAfficionado) October 7, 2014
One Cardinals fan took to Twitter to tell The Game that his team has no plans of returning to L.A. for Game Five:
@mrstlouis2012: @TMZ ; Thanks Mr. The Game, but we have no plans to return to LA! We’ll keep that in mind next season. #CardinalNation — Garon Patrick Mosby (@mrstlouis2012) October 7, 2014
In fact, The Game was talking about the gang rivalry between the Crips and Bloods. Red represents the Bloods and blue stands for the Crips, and in some areas of L.A., wearing red could be deadly. However, one Twitter follower gave The Game some sensible advice:
Eh. Just win Game 4. #nonissue RT @TMZ: The Game warns #Cardinals fans: be careful where you wear red in LA… http://t.co/qH7gJlTrbn — Scott Allen (@ScottCAllen) October 7, 2014
