Weasel of the Week: LaVar Ball

If you have ever wondered why I refer to LaVar Ball as the Fred Sanford of stage parents, well, consider this.

On Sanford & Son in the 70's, Fred (Redd Foxx) was always looking to make extra money to supplement his junk business in the Watts section of Los Angeles. His schemes, of course, didn't work, in the grand tradition of Ralph Kramden (Jackie Gleason, The Honeymooners) and Kingfish on Amos 'n' Andy.

So what does this have to do with LaVar Ball? Plenty.

On Monday, it was reported that the Better Business Bureau had given Ball's Big Baller Brand an "F" rating, the worst it could possibly be. Ball dismissed the claim, of course, while putting over his company as the BBB people care about. Yeah, sure, tell us another tall tale.

And while the biggest con artist this side of Joe Isuzu is overseas with his two youngest boys, Closet Collection, a clothing firm contracted to Big Baller, is now suing the company for $25,000 for missed payments dating back to May 2017. Gee, what a shock, eh? La Loudmouth is also a deadbeat, whilst doing everything but accepting responsibility. Put this on top of Ball raising a ruckus from long distance, criticizing Lakers coach Luke Walton, son of 70's icon and current ESPN announcer Bill Walton, and claiming the younger Walton has "lost" the locker room. That was before the Lakers snapped a nine game losing streak over the weekend in beating Atlanta.

While Ball won't stop with the hyperbole and the bluster to extend his 15 minutes, that time is just about up, if Closet Collection's case goes to court. La Loudmouth has earned another set of Weasel ears, this time with a tail attached.

For anyone who's interested, here's the link to the article on Closet Collection:

Why am I not surprised?

This is the same asshat who badmouthed the president who saved his thieving son's butt!!!! Not a single word of thanks for Trump helping to get three ghetto scum players off the hook for stealing from a boutique in China.

Stealing is bad enough, but to do it in a country in which you are a guest? Where one can easily receive 10 years in prison without any further court action?

Stupid comes easy to the Ball family.

It's because La Loudmouth is a bigger attention whore than the President. Makes Trump look like a boy scout by comparison.

And Old Man Ball thinks the Better Business Bureau is outdated, thinks Yelp is better? Apparently, he didn't go to college.....
