I disagree with Chaim Bloom with his decisions sometimes, but this is absolutely disgusting. He has a family. It’s truly just a game people.

How did Chaim Bloom react to the death threats??
Chaim Bloom is no stranger to criticism. He?s become somewhat of a pariah in the city of Boston with the unfruitful results of the last few seasons.

According to audacy.com, this is what he has to say about the whole fiasco, ?I?ve also had a lot of people who write and say that stuff on the radio who will privately disavow it and tell me they?re performing, so I don?t take any of it personally,? he said. ?We sucked, so, of course, they?re pissed like they should be? When I was a kid [in the Philadelphia suburbs] and things weren?t going right, I booed.?
