Eau Claire man removes Braun-themed "8-CLEAN" license plate
MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Jeff Tollefson of Eau Claire had a personalized Milwaukee Brewers license plate with the message "8-CLEAN." Now, as Brewers slugger Ryan Braun is serving a 65-game suspension, the license plate has been removed.
Tollefson says the license plate was actually a sarcastic response after hearing Braun's denials last year, when he won his appeal following a positive drug test.
However, with the latest controversy, the attention Tollefson was getting for the plate just became too much.
"A couple people were a little more aggressive with their gestures and you could tell they were probably supporters. And they didn't like the fact that I was kind of poking fun at him," Tollefson said.
The man now has a new plate, that he hopes will be less controversial. It's a Packers plate with the message: "NO WORRIES."
