Lakers win 15th championship... Riot ensues?!

Look, I'm all about rioting and anarchy for hometown love and representing where you are from but c'mon! The Lakers just repeated so it's not like they haven't won a championship before. On top of that the Lakers now have 15 championships! That's a great feat in and of itself. It's not like LA is a championship starved city. They have 10 NBA championships (5 of the Lakers championships were won in Minneapolis), 5 MLB championships and 2 Pro Football Championships (Raiders, Rams).

With all that being said... ACT LIKE YOU'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE!!! Act like you've won a damn ring before. It's not like they were in a drought, or it was a surprise come back from being down 0-3 games and then they won 4 games in a row (ala the 2004 Red Sox). If they did make a miraculous comeback of that sorts than a riot would be all good with me. BUT they didn't so it's just kinda overkill.



Now, don't get me wrong. Not even for a second! I am personally the biggest proponent for rioting in this modern day era. Like back in the day 1992 the Rodney King riots in LA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Los_Angeles_riots. I understand that cause there was a lot of racial tensions and overtones involved within that situation. We can even go as far back as the Chicago Race Riot's of 1919 wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Race_Riot_of_1919. Wherein, people were rioting for real cultural and social reasons. But a riot for one of the most successful professional sports franchises in history, who just won the 2nd of back to back titles is ridiculous and just plain moronic, IMHO. Again, act like you've been there before!

With all of that being said, I can promise you that if my hometown Chargers or Padres ever win a world championship in their respective sports, YOU BEST BELIEVE THAT I AM GOING TO BE THE FIRST ONE RIOTING THE STREETS OF SAN DIEGO!!!! Believe that!!!! You can take that to the bank!!! Cause obviously, WE / I can't act like we've been there before..... because we haven't!!!

I already have my rioting emergency kit (contains: ski mask, gloves, gas mask, fireworks, steel toe boots, rocks, molotov cocktails etc)  ready for the future or even for right now. Like this October should the Padres (who btw are playing pretty well right now) win a championship and/or for 2011 if the Chargers win one. Yes, wishful thinking but you can never be too prepared. And if anything I can use the kit for any possible robberies in the future. lol!

Now, before you call me a hypocrite and say that I'm just hating on the Lake Show (even though I clearly am haha), allow me to explain this. As I have stated before I am a big proponent of riots! But riots for a real cause or reason and if I am allowed to speak freely, I'm waiting for the right opportunity, cause, reason and/or championship to start a riot! Unlike L.A., San Diego is a championship starved city. We have no professional championships to boast and we have only gotten close on 2 occasions (1994 Chargers, 1984 Padres). If there is EVER a reason to RIOT it's when your home team has won the FIRST ever championship for your city! We get a free pass cause we cannot act like we've been there before! Cause we obviously have not!

As hypocritical as that sounds it just makes more sense. Think about it, if the Lakers win another one next year and the fans riot again it would be lame. It would just downplay the whole appeal of a riot. Riots would then become meaningless. It would be like after every "W" the fans are gonna go out and riot. hahaha! I'm all for riots, but you gotta pick and choose the right moments and not downplay such a unique and satisfying once in a lifetime event.

So here's looking forward to a future riot on the streets of San Diego. Hope to see you there! I'll be the one with a gas mask throwing molotov cocktails at poor unsuspecting bystanders, shielded riots cops and cops on horses!!! hahahahaha.(I'm just joking!) A man can dream can't he!
