* Kevin Durant would end up being hated even more than Lebron James for basically doing the same thing, because it was a lot more obvious. Unlike James who had some sympathy because he was on a team without any good role players and everyone expecting him to do everything, often comparing him to UsefulNotes/MichaelJordan, when Jordan actually had very good role players that helped him shine and win championships. Durant on the other hand was the chosen one for the Oklahoma City Thunder who had TheLancer in Russell Westbrook and decent role players to make a strong run every season for the title. However, loss after heartbreaking loss in the playoffs finally got to Durant who then left the team to join the very team that kept blocking the Thunder's path, the Golden State Warriors. To Durant's credit, despite joining an already stacked team, he would rise to become the best player on the team and led the Warriors to two championships with him winning Finals MVP in both runs before leaving for another team at the end of the 2021-2022 season. Unlike James, Durant won 0 titles without Golden State, while they won yet another one without him.

* Shaquille O'Neal, Creator/ShaquilleONeal, otherwise known as Shaq Shaq, is a 90s example. He used to play for Orlando Magic. Took the team to the NBA Finals where they lost. But in 1996, he moved to the bigger city team Los Angeles Lakers. Obviously the more than $120 million contract they gave him had something to do with it. Yet Magic fans dislike this move as he left a then blossoming team for its more successful counterpart in So Cal.
* In 2010, there was[[UsefulNotes/LeBronJames Lebron James]] UsefulNotes/LeBronJames of Cleveland Cavaliers fame. He was a top player alongside Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett and several others. Won the NBA MVP in 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. Yet he couldn't win a championship in Cleveland, the city which had a StrawLoser reputation back in that year. So he moved to play for the Miami Heat. He joined forces with Dwanye Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. They won 2 championships in the city. But to [[MustMakeAmends make amends]] with his former team, he rejoined in 2014. They then won the NBA Finals in an [[DavidVersusGoliath upset]] over the Golden State Warriors who went 73-9, a records record as of 2017 and beat them in the warrior's Dubs' arena. Lebron [=LeBron=] was then forgiven by Cleveland for giving them their first city big 4 championship since 1964.
1964. When he left Cleveland for the second time in 2018, this time to go to the Lakers, he got ''far'' less hatred than back in 2010.[[labelnote:*]]While most athletes who leave for another team as free agents do so via press release and (nowadays) social media, ''after'' letting their prior team know about it, [=LeBron=] didn't tell anyone he was leaving until announcing his first departure from Cleveland in a much-maligned hour-long special on ESPN. He learned his lesson, announcing his second departure by more conventional means, including giving the Cavs' front office a heads-up first.[[/labelnote]]
* Brett Favre, known for hiswomanizer womanizing habits and winning the most games by a QB in league history. He played for many years with Green Bay. The city was rejuvenated with his excellent play and a Super Bowl victory, followed by a Super Bowl appearance in the mid-90s. People thought he would retire after the 2007-2008 season and would appear on the VideoGame/MaddenNFL ''VideoGame/MaddenNFL'' cover. However, he then announced he would go to the New York Jets, basically meaning he went from Green Bay, which has the lowest urban population of any current NFL team to New York, the biggest city in America. The media market there was huge. But he then left the Jets to join Minnesota Vikings, the rival of Green Bay. This was a [[HeelFaceTurn great thing]] for Minnesota fans and a [[FaceHeelTurn horrible thing]] for Packers fans.

* The "Not Paid For By Michael Bloomberg" episode of ''WebVideo/SomeMoreNews'' leads to the News Dude selling out to Michael Bloomberg's campaign for a pet Zebra and a CoolBoat.

It turns out what had actually happened was their product key was visible in the corner and they didn't realize it after the fact, so they had Barry "cover it up with a burger". Cue mostly negative votes on the video and outrage over a false advertisement for a deal that wasn't even being offered anymore.

* In one ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'' strip, the gang are queuing for the new ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' movie when a passerby informs them that ''Transformers'' has totally sold out. Once they've realised she doesn't mean there aren't any tickets left, they're puzzled by the idea that something that ''started'' as a half-hour toy commercial ''can'' sell out.
