Los Angeles professional teams could not possibly care any less what the peasantry may or may not think of them. (This is in line w/ Just Another Blog™ policy as well.)

The Lakers wrapped up their season on a high noteearly, flagrantly clotheslining people& referring to a ref by a "homophobic slur," as they're calling it these days. And they lost like a bunch of fucking losers.

(It's been a while, but in the third pro sport still practiced locally, the Kings & Ducks sucked.)

Now the Dodgers, whose owners have been setting a bad example for the kids (Not that Laker owner Buss is any prize as a role-model, but the Lakers have won a championship or two since the former Brooklyn Bums last got lucky in 1988.) for some time now, have a new controversy, as recent streaker (but more recent slumpee) Andre Ethier made one of those attack of Tourette's Syndrome-style signals employed in the game toward a photog during batting practice or something.

Ethier can go both ways.

Will he get anything from Easton for getting their gloves & wristband all over the media?
