LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Lakers won’t have fans at Staples Center during the upcoming regular season until further notice.

The NBA champions made the long-expected decision official Tuesday for the new season, which will begin Dec. 22.

The Lakers also apparently don’t plan to hang their 17th title banner until fans are in the stands to celebrate the moment with them.

“We appreciate your continued support and look forward to coming together, when it is safe to do so, to celebrate the raising of our banner and the quest for another NBA championship,” the team said in a statement.

AWWWW! At first thought I was feeling that the boycott of the woke nba was successful. Sadly, this is by their decree. Not that I would have ever attended in any case.

Idea: Let thousands of fans say they went to a BLM demonstration and a basketball game broke out.

Apologies to hockey fans for the old gag.

Also—— boycott the PC BLM pandering sports and networks. Don’t show up.

Works for me. I wouldn’t know the difference if they ended and never came back. I don’t think I would.

Oh, well. In the words of Jerry Seinfeld, “That’s a shame.”

Could not care less.

I actually had a dream where I was speaking to the bosses of the NBA, the MLB, NHL, etc. I said to them, “You guys, with your BLM nonsense, is killing the golden goose.” They seemed to get it.

Then I turned to the PGA ? the golfers? I said, “You guys are probably okay, what with Tiger Woods and all.”

Then I turned to the boss of soccer and said, “I’m very sorry, but Americans really don’t care about you.” LOL!

Although I have been watching “Ted Lasso?” on AppleTV. Jason Sudeikas (sp?). It’s a funny show. About an American coach hired to coach a British soccer team. :)

“We’re the Millers”...also a funny movie with Jason and Jennifer Aniston.

I have tons of movies to recommend. LOL. I spend too much time on the couch. LOL!

Well that at least will help their advertising income.

Nobody watches us because... Covid, yeah, that’s the ticket.

Well, here is one of those rare times (who am I kidding, frequent times) where I have to acknowledge I was wrong. I thought that if they took the White House back (which they clearly believe they've done) and given a choice between keeping their unconstitutional dictatorial powers or getting the economy back they'd throw away the powers and let the country open again. My logic was that they wanted a recession under Trump but not under them.

I was wrong, they want us all as dependent serfs and when we are all broke and starving they will say the solution is communism. I should have seen that but I made the stupid assumption that we'd still have real elections and they'd be worried about losing the next one if they kept their boots on our necks. They thought of a clever way around that by eliminating fair elections outright. Well played, commie scum. Well played.
