Lakers Win Title And Los Angeles Riots
Sunday night the Los Angeles Lakers defeated some team that LeBron James doesn’t play for to earn their 15th NBA championship and Kobe Bryant’s first without Shaq.
The city of Los Angeles celebrated by sending eight police officers to the hospital, arresting 18 thugs and vandalizing buses, cars and a shoe store. Small fires were started and the rioters threw rocks and bottles at law enforcement.
We know it’s L.A., the riot capital of the world, but people still rampage over sports? Even when their team wins? Did we just become a soccer nation or something?
And exactly why were the Lakers’ fans rioting? Were they upset because they won’t get to see Hedo Turkoglo’s ugly grill on television again? Were they mad because there won’t be another Most Valuable Puppets commercial? Were they looking forward to the Magic turning the ball over 18 times in Game 6?
Your team just won a championship. You should be happy not chucking rocks at a Payless Shoe Source. Not only that but you should be thankful that you live in L.A. where it rains once decade and you don’t have to work because of the socialists who run the state.
At least the Iranians are rioting over a fixed election, something slightly more important than a basketball game. It’s not like their beloved Tehran Deserts just won a national soccer title or some infidel beheading championship. They’re slinging Molotov cocktails on behalf of their country’s future, not because they’re going to miss seeing the Kobe Scowl.
The Penguins won the Stanley Cup Finals Friday night and Pittsburgh residents didn’t tear the city down. Granted about 15 people outside of Canada follow hockey and the NHL Finals were buried on a network nobody watches (NBC) but even that tiny throng of puck heads still managed to keep their mullets out of trouble.
The Cavaliers won 66 games this season, LeBron won league MVP and yet they still lost to a team coached by Stan Van Gundy. The city of Cleveland had every right to riot and set their river on fire again but did they? No. For once, the citizens of Cleveland acted civilized.
Imagine what the City Of Hoodlums would do if their team won the Super Bowl… never mind, L.A. doesn’t have an NFL team.
By the way, the city of Detroit doesn’t count. We expect, nay demand, they riot after major sporting events. Besides it’s Detroit, what‘s a melee going do? Damage the debris from the previous riots?

That’s what you get when a team not called the “Nuggets” win the title. Damn I’m still hurting. Oh well. And I agree, riots in sports are idiotic.
