    ESPN's 30 second video tribute to Dodger fans



    "They've taken a loan out on loyalty." I love it. So awesome and unexpected for ESPN to take the time to broadcast a "fuck you" message to that shameless, selfish, incompetent dick of an owner we have.

    Are Dodgers fans really more loyal than any given fanbase?

    I mean, you have these sports teams that are always lauded as being more "loyal" and "dedicated" than other teams' fans but I'm forced to wonder if it's a coincidence that these teams with these rabidly loyal fans are all either large market teams and/or very succesful franchises.

    The Cleveland Browns are the only team I can think of off hand whose fans are glorified as loyal and dedicated that doesn't fall under either catagory.

    The line "With fans so loyal..." was narrated over the snapshots of Brooklyn Dodger fans. Granted, the level of Brooklyn fans' loyalty might not be relevant since it is the fan base in L.A. that is being affected, but fan loyalty is still part of the Dodger brand that L.A. fan base in general has owned up to, except the McCourts have taken it upon themselves to fuck with the brand.

    The Cleveland Browns play baseball?

    It's convenient that you would use an NFL team as an example when football has become only the #1 sport in most cities.

    I used an NFL team as an exception, not an example.

    Dodgers likely to lose $27 million because of dramatic decline in attendance - latimes.com

    Why are you Dodger fans not supporting your team when your owner desperately needs the money? Such loyal fans you are...
