When former Oakland Athletics star Jose Canseco unleashed fury on fan claimed to have offended him

In 2020, former MLB superstar Jose Canseco found himself on the receiving end of an offensive gesture (according to Canseco) from a fan. The incident, which occurred during a public outing, prompted Canseco to publicly condemn the fan's behavior and demand respect.

Canseco found himself in an interesting encounter while spending time at Topgolf in Las Vegas. It appears that a fan at the venue attempted to catch his attention by signaling with a finger, suggesting a desire to engage in conversation with the famous player.

Canseco was enraged by the gesture and decided to teach the fan a lesson. In December, 2019, he posted a video of the conversation of the two on Instagram and made it clear how he likes to be treated and what is disrespect for him.

"If you see me in public, DO NOT call me over with a finger like I’m your small child in trouble or a chick at the bar! ⁣ If you see me in public and want a photo, an autograph, or just too meet me, you come over to me. I’m more than willing to and enjoy meeting you guys. " - Canseco wrote in the post.
