    This should be a warning to all Laker fans who wear their gear to the games: you will be wasting your money because not only will you watch your team lose, but suffer harassment and ridicule. Just stay home. When Blazer fans by the hundreds start invading the Staples Center and laughing in the face of Laker fans for rooting for their team IN THEIR OWN ARENA, then you have a right to bitch.

    People are embarrassing sometimes.

    When I was in college I saw the Blazers play the Bulls and fortunately I was not treated like that.

    Awesome. I have no problem with this whatsoever. 99% of the Laker fans I encounter at the RG are complete fucking douche bags. This guy actually sounds ok, but he's in the VAST minority.

    When I was reading "section" whatever, I was hoping he was going to say my section. I would be honored to piss off a Laker fan this much.

    I rarely go to visiting arenas/stadiums anymore. College football expecially. Fans and especially drunk fans are too annoying. However I must admit in my youth I was just as bad. I am a little embarrassed by some of my actions back then..............Ah fuck that, they were Huskie fans and this guys sounds like one too.

    In a way, the guy has a point. Just because they're Laker fans doesn't give us cart Blanche to treat them like shit. Even if they (the Laker fans) are classless, it serves us no purpose to respond to them at their level.

    In all the games I've gone to, I've never had any issues with fans of other teams. I'm respectful to them (after all, it's just a game) and they're respectful towards me.

    In fact, I'd rather have Laker fans sitting next to me instead of Kings fans. Talk about a bunch of annoying fans!

    I wish I was as good a human being as you. Jesus would be proud.

    Actually, Jesus would have fucking hated douchebag Laker fans, too, so it's all good. :)

    I get to see Blazer games in opposing arenas occasionally when traveling for work. I've never had any problem with the local fans. But then I don't wear blazer gear in their arena. Doing so is putting up a big sign that says "hey, pay attention to ME". If you invite that sort of attention, you shouldn't be surprised when you get it.

    Yeah, I have to say I don't even wear a Red Sox cap when I go to Mariners' games, even though about one-third of the fans at SafeCo seem to be rooting for Boston. As barfo said you're basically putting a target on your chest. That said, threats of violence are way over the line, even for obnoxious Laker fans (and this guy, as far as I can tell, doesn't sound nearly as obnoxious as some).

    In my experience, there are 3 types of Laker fans:

    A) The "real" fans who actually know the game and respect the history of the team.

    B) The "bandwagon" fans, whose knowledge of the NBA is limited to "Lakers win lots of games - and the cool kids wear their gear."

    C) The total, irredeemable douchebags. The people who gave birth to the phrase "sense of entitlement."

    I have no problem with "A", ignore "B", and have zero sympathy for "C".

    Yeah, those Laker fans at Staples are very classy and would never cross the line;

    Laker fans that show up at the Rose Garden are arrogant, disrespectful to the home team and try to make themselves the subject of everyones attention. The purple and piss deserve all they get. And the pussy that posted on Craigs List could not do anything. He is not even half as tough as he wants us to believe he is. He wouldn't want to challenge most Blazer fans to a round of fisticuffs. Wouldn't end pretty going one on one. Laker fans are only tough when there is a hoard of them.

    I didn't read the Craig's list post (it's been removed - anybody have a cached copy that can post?), but in general, Laker fans that show up at the Rose Garden decked out in piss and purple, sporting their ridiculous "bling" and generally behaving like disrespectful assholes, are DYING for attention - then they piss and moan about it when they get it. If they didn't WANT attention, they would dress and behave this way in enemy territory.

    Humorously there were more disrespectful Blazer fans than Laker fans last night.
