Brewers apologize for threatening to eject fan in 'Ryan Fraud' jersey

Brewers slugger Ryan Braun, as we all know, is currently serving a 65-game suspension for his role in the Biogenesis scandal, and that suspension came after Braun's stern and repeated denials of ever using PEDs. All of this has caused not-insubstantial levels of outrage among baseball observers, and at least one hometown Brewers fan is none too pleased with Braun's deceptions.
On that front, Wisconsin's WTMJ-620 reports that Karen Eidem attended a recent Brewer game adorned in this altered Ryan Braun jersey:

Harmless enough, no? Well, Miller Park security apparently saw this as a grave affront and commanded Eidem to change her shirt or be escorted off the premises. Eidem agreed to turn her shirt inside out and was allowed to remain in her seat.
Thankfully, the team realized this pretty quickly and released the following statement:
“In this case, the fan absolutely should have been able to wear the jersey without any intervention by our staff. We welcome the opportunity for fans to express their opinions. The only circumstances that would warrant us intervening is if someone were to display a message or item that would be considered offensive to other fans. This is not a case where that line was crossed, and we're sorry for the inconvenience to her. We will reach out to Ms. Eidem to invite her to another game this year as our guest.”
