Let’s make this clear up front: I love Lakers fans, and I don’t think there is a greater percentage of bad actors within this fanbase than any other one. Lakers fans are just larger in number, and as such, there are a directly proportional extra number of assholes.
This has been clear for the last year especially, from social media trolling of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope getting so widespread that then-teammate Dwight Howard felt he had to publicly intervene, to Danny Green and his fiancee getting death threats on social media after he missed a potential game-winner in the NBA Finals, to fans who started petitions saying that Green and Kyle Kuzma shouldn’t get rings when the Lakers won the title.
