A Houston sports fan named Dontralle Brown Reed has started a petition–“To ban Bun B from Houston sports”–claiming that the local rapper’s support has had an adverse affect on local sports teams.

Take the Houston Astros, who might be the best in the MLB, but recently suffered a five-game losing streak.

“We have lost players, prime time games and shots at championships every time he’s involved from appearances to his songs. The fans are growing tired and this has been going on the past five years. He only comes around when we are winning, so its only right to ban him from the teams. He is a bandwagon for his image,” the petition says.

Bun B’s best-known song might be “Crush City,” which he released after the team made it to the playoffs in 2015.
