Lakers fans staging protest outside of Staples Center on Friday

The Real Lakers of Los Angeles continue to change the game in terms of their reality TV spectacle. Now they’ve got their audience involved in ways they could have never imagined. Even if that involvement is mostly hatred.

Lakers fans have had enough. Today outside of Staples Center, a group of Lakers fans who organized on Reddit are going to protest the team’s ownership and their handling of the team. This comes just a few days after the Lakers bungled their negotiations with former Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Ty Lue.

From the Reddit posting

Why? Jeannie hates bad PR. She don’t care about us, but cares what the media says. Point is to spin the narrative to the Talking Heads “Is Jeannie the opposite of her Father?” and have them talk.

Bring Laker Gear, byo chairs & Water.

Chants:

“Sell the team!”

“Fire Rambis!”

“Fire Linda!”

“Kevin McHale” (Ironic, I know)

“No Jason Kidd!”

“Shadow Owner!”

I feel bad for Lakers fans and LeBron James, but this is tremendous content.. Even though it might not be on the basketball court, you can’t say the Lakers don’t know how to innovate in terms of entertainment.
