Good PR move - better than being bashed on social media.

As well they should. Let's name and shame any other teams that took money they don't need.

Small business loan. Small. Who approved the Lakers and Shake Shack to begin with?

Hope they still get all the negative publicity and lose support and fans. Disgusting cowards.

From the article:
The Lakers qualified for the program because they have only about 300 employees. But the team is thought to be the NBA's second-most valuable franchise, with Forbes estimating a value of roughly $4 billion.
But they shouldn't have applied in the first place - they don't really need the money, especially at mere $4.6 million not gonna be of much use to them
