correct me if im wrong, but if you are talking about ownership of the "beat LA" chant ... I think Philadelphia owns it. Because they were first.
Actually, Boston fans were the first to use this chant, in the 1982 ECF game 7 vs the Sixers. The Celts were about to lose, and the Sixers were about to play the lakers in the finals. So I think that means we own it...

Good call. I think you are correct, so a TP for you this morning.

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.
