Los Angeles Lakers fans organized a protest outside of the Staples Center targeting the front office's decision-making. An estimated 35-40 fans joined the protest.
"I don't mean it to be a personal attack on [owner] Jeanie Buss or anything like that. I just don't agree with their decision-making on a front-office level. Nepotism shouldn't be involved when it comes to decision-making," said 22-year-old Charlie Rivers, who organized the protest on social media.
Rivers also added that people around the Buss family have their own motivations.
"Whether it's Jim Buss, Jeanie Buss -- things have been toxic, and I feel like people around Jeanie don't have her best interest at heart and they're making political moves to keep themselves on the job. And ultimately that's going to hinder the effectiveness of the organization," he said.
The protest came a day after Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti called the city "a Clippers town."
"Right now, it's a Clippers town. I'm Lakers 'til the day I die. But I love [the] Clippers. I don't hate 'em," said Garcetti.
