Thread: City can't afford to pay for Lakers' parade

City officials question expense of Lakers parade - FOX Sports on MSN

At least they're being considerate.

They should charge everybody "tree fiddy" just to stand on the sidewalk and cheer like morons. Problem solved IMO.

I was thinking "foe fiddy," but whatever works.

I also think the city should slap a "City Rebuilding" tax of $10 on every piece of Lakers clothing or memorabilia sold after the team wins a championship to help pay for the inevitable destruction of city property by bat-**** loony neanderthal hoodlum fans.

i'm not taking furlough days just so the city can have money to a stupid laker parade.

Why can't the ****ing Lakers pay for it?

Good question and one I was thinking myself. They do have the money.

Another thing though, is that if there is no parade or official celebration, the hoodlum fans WILL have their own celebration, in a destructive way. Though, there's probably guaranteed destruction parade or not, so the point is probably moot.

That's one thing I hate about LA sports, the retards that trash and destroy the city make the city and teams look really really bad.

Pfft. They say always say that. Tough shiiiiit. Give Jack Nicholson what he wants!

I would expect this for the Kings, not the Lakers.

I was surprised that the city paid for the last parades. The city should not be paying for these, the teams should.
