Growing up in Downey, California, a suburb of Los Angeles County, we heard a lot about Lakers and Dodgers. I remember rushing home from school, turning the TV on to watch afternoon cartoons. In the summer though, those cartoons were overtaken by baseball and I would be so sad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come August 2019, I embark in a new career of Sports Marketing. I\u2019m now not only a Dodgers and Angels fan, I love all sports! I did love the early 2000\u2019s era of back-to-back Lakers championships, but now I\u2019m not only understanding it but wishing to go to more games. And even loving college basketball so much that I attended a Final Four game in 2021!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And football?! Well that\u2019s a whole other love. I\u2019ve become a college football and big Chargers fan. I like the Rams too. Let\u2019s just say, I love anything and everything L.A. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when the Anaheim Ducks\u2019 Street Team and mascot decided to stop by my work yesterday, I got super excited! Granted I prefer the L.A. Kings, but I gotta support OC too. And who doesn\u2019t want a picture with Wild Wing?! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let\u2019s go to a sports event together next season! Lakers, Dodgers, Clippers, Angels, Ducks, Rams. Chargers, Kings! You name it, let\u2019s go! \u26be\ufe0f \ud83c\udfc0 \ud83c\udfc8 \u26bd\ufe0f \ud83c\udfbe \ud83c\udfd2 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
