Alfred Bans Clippers | Palisades Village
Alfred Coffee, the newest member of Palisades Village, made headlines on Monday, July 8, after posting on social media that NBA players Kawhi Leonard and Paul George were not welcome in any of their stores.
“We reserve the right to refuse service to Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and anyone else affiliated with the Clippers organization,” wrote the coffee chain in a post on Instagram that has since been taken down.
The move, both praised and heavily scrutinized by the sports community, comes after recent NBA champion Leonard announced he will be joining the Los Angeles Clippers over the Lakers in the upcoming season.
