Lakers have their own ANTI-chant

It's not new that Lakers are hated everywhere. When you win, people hate you, i.e., Duke, Cowboys, Yankees, USC (although that might change with NCAA putting the hammer down soon). Also not new, Lakers are the only team that have an anti-chant in every city. "BEAT L.A.!, BEAT L.A.!" And I'm telling you, that is AWESOME. We, as a fan base, hear it all the time when we watch our beloved purp and gold take on another team. There are signs, chants and everyone knows it. Yankees don't have an anti-chant.

I realize that everyone knows this, especially if you're a Laker fan. But it does bar a reminder of how awesome it is to be a Laker fan, and how truly spoiled we are that we get to root for them. We have our own anti-chant. We are awesome. Simply awesome. I can't remember what year it was, but I remember playing the real OKC when they were the Supersonics (I feel for the Seattle fans, they loved their team), but fans were screaming "BEAT L.A." in the second round of the playoffs. I was in junior high for sure, so 96-97 possibly. It's been around for a while, and it's awesome. Did I say awesome yet?
