Being a Los Angeles Clippers fan has to be one of the hardest things in the world right now, as everybody can and will make fun of you and your team. Proof of that is Clippers’ superfan ‘Clipper Darrell’, who has changed his colors from red and blue to purple and gold.
The man recently posted a picture of himself on Twitter wearing the colors of the Lakers following the elimination of the Clippers from this year’s playoffs.

It’s not like he suddenly changed teams after the 3-1 fiasco against the Denver Nuggets; he had to pay a bet after the Clippers lost in the second round, turning into ‘Laker Darrell’.
Prior to the season, he predicted the Laker era was over and now we know what was over was his time as a Clipper. We can’t imagine how painful it was for him to put some Lakers gear on, but he took that L like a man and moved on.
Fans haven’t, though.
