Cleveland Cavaliers Make Light Of Domestic Violence [VIDEO]

Domestic violence is nothing to laugh about, but for some reason the Cleveland Cavaliers decided to make it a joke.

A video that ran during the Cavs playoff game against the Chicago Bulls is rubbing a lot of people the wrong way.

The video shows a Cavs fan and his girlfriend in the kitchen, dancing around, and then his girlfriend turns around wearing a Chicago Bulls shirt.

That's where the video gets a little weird.

When the guy's girlfriend runs toward him, he sees her Chicago Bulls shirt, and instead of lifting her into the air, he launches her across the living room.

"Bulls fan?" he says as the girlfriend lays on the floor. "I didn't know you were a Bulls fan. Can't believe she's a Bulls fan."

The girl then reappears in the video holding an ice pack on her head. What positive message is this showing?

This could be a play at imitating the United HealthCare commercial.

Even if it is, it's still going a little too far.
