Kings fans trash LA bar on Yelp after profane taunt

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/kings-fans-troll-local-bar-on-yelp-after-being-told-to--go--expletive--themselves-185642357.html

Silvio's Brazilian BBQ is a bar in Hermosa Beach, California, and like many bars, they entice customers with the promise of televised sports. But there's a twist: while Silvio's is in LA Kings territory, and Kings players like Matt Greene live right nearby, the bar advertises as "your destination for all Blackhawks games".

They've become Hermosa Beach's Chicago sports bar, and the home base for a group comprised of transplanted midwesterners called WACCO, "The West Coast Association of Crazy Chicagoans and Others".

Still, they probably also get some Kings fans in there, which makes one wonder why someone thought it was a good idea to broadcast the above message on one of Silvio's screens the night the Kings ousted the Blackhawks in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals:

Naturally, once Kings fans saw this photo, they were upset. But rather than doing as the screen told them, they took to Yelp to flood the restaurant's page with complaints and bad reviews. A sampling, courtesy The Royal Half:

You stay classy, L.A.!

Sick and tired of people from other parts of the country coming to LA and acting like this. If they can't appreciate and respect the local culture they should go the fuck back to wherever they came from. Judging by United Center attendance most of these "Chicagoans" probably didn't even realize their city had an NHL team prior to 2009.

they come down here to Petco and show no class whatsoever. I always make sure to sport my '84 era Taco Bell gear to rub it in their faces.

should immediately denounce their fandom for their respective hometown teams, I'm just asking that these people have a little respect for those of us who are natives.

I agree that Cubs fans are the worst. I think most of them really aren't from Chicago, they just had basic cable in the 80's and 90's.

" I think most of them really aren't from Chicago, they just had basic cable in the 80's and 90's."

how they've got so many fans despite having a losing reputation. I can't really think of any other reason for a person to be a Cubs fan if they're not even from the Chicago area (except maybe their colors). Even the White Sox have been doing better than them, and they have more WS titles.
