Minnesota fans are just way too nice to burn Kevin Love's jersey

After a whole summer of speculation, Kevin Love finally appears to be on his way to Cleveland. American custom dictates that when an athlete leaves town, the fans burn his jersey. Not Minnesota fans, though. They're just too dang nice to do something like that.

Minnesotans can't really blame him. They're fully aware of their state's flaws and why a star athlete might want to leave for a appealing location, like Cleveland. But come January, when cold arctic air rushes in from up north, T'Wolves fans might have no other choice than to torch Love jerseys for warmth.
