Fighting Fans Screw Laker Nation

1. I live next to the Staples center. Game night is scary. They riot if the Lakers win, they riot if they lose. I sit there wondering if they're going to light newspaper racks on fire, overturn cars, destroy my first floor loft. I can't believe the loft developers said living next to the Staples center is a plus. Not only that but the huge lights from the arena attract billions of moths. They cover the buildings and are dead all over the sidewalk.

6. i couldn't spot a black person in that crowd! I think the lakers are the team for the rich, and the clippers are the team for the poor. most lakers fans i know are white, so wtf why make it an issue

8.
that's exactly what happens when you have
n average laker per game ticket over $500;

you let the " common " folk in for $10,
they can't act like they've been there;

this escalated over angst over the city and
not being included in something shared.

10. JaysMom: I am Mexican and no, I don't travel in packs and I am not a dog. I am from a culture that goes back thousands of years in this part of the world, I am college educated and and proud of who I am. It is an economic issue, although as others have said, Lakers tickets are extremely expensive, so those buying them are putting money aside for those tickets, somehow. I have been to plenty of Dodger games where the fighters were white or black, not just Mexican.

I love how it has to become a race issue.

12. How come nobody cares about the Lakers during the regular season? They only come out when the Lakers reach the playoffs and start waving their stupid flags around. Funny thing is, I never see any black Laker fans. I guess they got tired of the Mexicans stealing everything including their jobs

13. Send the fans to Philly - *we'll* show them violent and rowdy fans!! Albeit, we generally have a legit reason. I suspect they were doing it just to try to show how 'cool' they were - and failed miserably.
