Perhaps the Lakers do have a relatively good amount of respectable fans. It's just that they have more fans, and so they would also have more d-bags as well. Obviously I think in any place, legitimate fans who can talk real basketball are hard to come by. Heck I have that problem some times. Even I am a lone Suns fan in a sea of Laker bandwagoners out here on Guam. I have met perhaps 3-4 people who can really talk about basketball, without just saying "go lakers".
Bottom line though, there are more bandwagon fans and also stooges than real fans(especially for "hot" teams), anywhere. Because of that, I just don't think generalizing and also singling out the Lakers fan base(or even the whole darn city) as being inarticulate pricks is accurate nor fair.
That also makes me come across you as someone who's bitter because of the Laker's success instead. I mean, that's fine with me and all(I'm envious of Lakers even though they're my 2 team). But it really appears to me that you're using the fanbase as a scapegoat for your rage against the city. I don't see how you can harbor so much rage just for a fanbase, which in most cases it looks like you're a few steps ahead of.

Now you're just sounding like them. "You just hate us because you're jealous." Pretty much verbatim. Really dude, really? After I've spent post after post the last couple days trying to explain it? That's what you're going to come up with? I'm not using them as a scapegoat. The fanbase is representative of the team and representative of the city overall.
If you gave me your e-mail address, I'd be happy to send you a bit of an essay/blog entry I wrote, that thoroughly explains why I feel the way I do. My hatred for the team didn't even begin when the team was that good, lmfao. By the time 2000 rolled around and they started winning titles again, I was well beyond simply hating the team.
My goodness gracious. You couldn't be more off base.

It is what it is. Nothing wrong with being jealous of a team that has 16 titles. I mean, what team isn't envious of them? Maybe only Boston.
Honestly this hatred is quite intriguing, if over the top and unreasonable. Seems like it's you who's out of line. That's all it really appears to be. And there you go again, saying they're all terrible people.
Btw m8 you need to enable pms if you want me to read an essay of yours.
