You hate Donald Trump too, but he lives in Florida and you live in the
national dumping ground for unwanted refugees.

The best team does not win unless the riggers can't do anything about it, the team is politically connected enough that TPTB want them to win, or the season is somehow rendered irrelevant through outside forces.

Keep smarting off, troll, and you'll be the national dumping ground for violence.

Bad weekend for LA sports so far:

Kings and Lakers lost on Friday.
Dodgers, Clips, USC, and UCLA lost on Saturday.

The bright side: Galaxy and LAFC had draws.

Rams play Lions today, so there’s a ray of sunshine on the horizon.

The fact that Cal-Los Angeles lost is the one ray of sunshine from the weekend thus far.

You have Rob Manfred and half the National League to thank for that.

Fuck the Assholes and FUCK ROB MANFRED.

You must be one of those "baseball purists" I've heard so much about.

Unlike some, including what appears to be the Commissioner, I've been taught to respect the traditions of the game -- mostly after Landis died.

I consider the Raiders a "home" team too -- even though they moved back to Oakland and then to Las Vegas.

Is this a generational thing? I could see where middle aged people who grew up in the area might still associate the Raiders with LA, but younger people and people who moved to the area within the last couple of decades might not feel the connection.

Also it’s interesting that LA people still root for the Raiders. A lot of cities that lose a relocating team turn the franchise into public enemies. I wonder if it’s due to the fact the Raiders had already relocated from somewhere else. Sort of like if you’re gf was cheating on someone else when you first starting dating, then you can’t be too shocked if she cheats on you later, even if it’s with her former bf.

I lived in L.A. from 1982-1986, which coincides with my four years in college. I watched the Raiders play at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum on Sundays enough to have a connection with the team.

Yes, L.A. was the Raiders side piece. As such, I wasn't mad when they moved back to Oakland.

I went to college in the LA area from 1991-1995, right before both LA teams left the place. Having grown up not near an NFL team meant I got 3 NFL games per day. Thanks to the Rams/Raiders and their constant blackouts, we never had a choice about which game to watch. It was the Raiders/Rams road games, and then something actually good. Except one year, looking forward to the 49ers/Cowboys game, the Rams play the Raiders, sell out, and that's our TV game over the 49ers/Cowboys. I've held my time there against both the Raiders and Rams ever since. Although I was in-person for the last Rams victory before they left for St. Louis.
