Homeless man spends 3000 dollars a year to go see Clippers

Considering the story quotes his former employer as saying that "He leads a simple life, by his choosing...", I don't see how Oski2005's statement is either cold or uninformed.

 

I often wonder how most people afford housing in California.

 

They don't. You can afford a Clippers season ticket but can't afford a decent home.

 

w00t!! GO CLIPPERS!!

 

Wow. Glad you made it outta that mess. I bet you have some amazing stories.

...and thats why I never give money to anyone on the subway.

 

he's like a real life lebowski, the dude.

 

Thank you for your kind words. It could have been worse, but I stayed out of trouble. My first 4 months were hard and I lost 30 lbs of weight(5'7" 125lbs, before I was 155 lbs), due to not knowing where to find food and the charities. I refused to panhandle. I had too much pride. The last 8 months was less difficult. I am a former Covenant House kid, and spent the last 8 months at the shelter. While living there, I was able to get some donated clothes, bathe and find my first job. Money and clothing donations do alot of good over there, if you want to help the homeless kids.

 

No kidding, why not just make him the equipment's managers assitant of something like that, I'm sure that would be a dream job for him.

 

how do homeless people get mail? its not like they have an address or anything...

 

No, actually the Clippers played at a homeless shelter aka LA Sports Arena.

Damn we're goin to hell.

 

Most of the season ticket holders are corporations. They keep them in reserve as a "perk".

I'd "perk" them right in the junk if I had half a chance.

 

Now that's a fan.

 

Real fans woudl do that

 

Speak for yourself....




(Or were you referring to the quality of the Rockets organization?)
