Fact- The lakers arn't the reason why people take up basketball
Fact- Team LA is not the only retailer that sell dodger/laker merchandise
Fact- The dodgers sell more officially licensed gear than the lakers
Fact- The biggest media outlet in LA , the Los Angeles times put the dodgers @ #1 and the lakers @#2
Fact- dodger stadium holds 56,000 fans , Staples holds 18-19,000, dodger stadium draws in more fans than staples
Fact- Dodgers are more important to LA than the Lakers
More people like basketball, hence more people liking the Lakers.

I have a few of those LA hats myself...So do many people I know who HATE baseball. How does this translate into Dodgers being more popular? What do you think sells more, Kobe jerseys, or a Russell Martin jerseys? THINK about it

^^At leats you're not a "Laker fan" from Bakersfield tryna claim this...Honestly though, I know you people deep down inside understand that the Lakers are much bigger out here. You have to be BRAINDEAD to turn on some sports radio and still think the Dodgers are more popular than the Lakers...PeACe
Jake, it doesn't matter what you say...Lakers are a bigger name in LA AND universally...
Lakers sell more merchandise
Lakers have higher demand for tickets and sell out more.
There is nothing really to debate here, you can go around this all you want, but Lakers are hands-down locally more popular in this current day and age...
Wait a minute...I just remembered you're from Bakersfield. LMAO@your credibility in this argument.
. Dodgers have a loyal fanbase even when they are loosing and nobody knows who is playing for them.
Quote from: TuSlic on June 23, 2007, 12:22:12 PM. Dodgers have a loyal fanbase even when they are loosing and nobody knows who is playing for them. Imagine if the Dodgers actually had consistent winning teams, or a star that comes up like Kobe.
let me start off by saying im a bigger laker fan then I am a dodger fan. But the crowds at dodger stadium are shitting on any crowd at the staples center. There aint nothing like going to a live dodger game, the atmosphere the people and just being outdoors with 50,000+ plus dodger fans & la people. Dodgers play like 4 days in a row when there at home and always have 50,000 + fans there. Everyone is wearing white and blue, then you gotta take into consideation that los angeles is a perdominantly hispanic city and thats who is mostly at the games. Everyone there is wearing dodger gear, then on the streets I'd say 60% of young people own a dodger hat, out of all my homies I cant think of one that doesnt have a dodger hat, you see dodger hats, jackets, shirts everywhere. Of course a lot of em are wearing them for the fact that it says la on it but that should show that dodger merchandice sells more. Nobody wears them ugly ass laker hats and nobody wears laker gear unless there a fan. You dont see cats going around wearing purple & gold. Historically Los Angeles is a dodger city and it will always be. Dodgers have a loyal fanbase even when they are loosing and nobody knows who is playing for them. If kobe was gone and the lakers had 4-5 loosing seasons nobody would come to see them play. If the staples center could hold 50,000 people it would never fill up. I hate watching baseball on tv and would always watch a basketball game first but a game at dodger stadium > any laker game at staples.
