The Underground Petition
This petition is directed at:
Lawrence Frank, Clippers President of Basketball Operations,
Steve Ballmer, L.A. Clippers Owner,
and towards Robert Covington, Clippers player.
Dear Clippers Front Office,
Dear Robert Covington,
This honest cause is born out of respect and admiration for legendary Clippers player Lou Williams. His career with the L.A. Clippers ended abruptly. We, at The BENCH ON A QUEST Movement, firmly believe that The Underground G.O.A.T. deserves a MUCH better treatment!
A personal note to Mr. Robert Covington: we humbly ask You to please, kindly change his jersey number, out of respect for Lou Williams and Lou Willโs contribution to the Clippers organization.
Here we highlight the main reasons why we created The UNDERGROUND PETITION:

๐ The Underground G.O.A.T. scored nearly 5,000 ๐๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ in less than four seasons off the bench for the Clippers. That accounts for 33% of his total 16-year career points scored... in just 4 years!! (That's how much he elevated his game with the Clippers.)
It's easy to overlook his ๐๐.๐ ๐๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ซ ๐๐๐ฆ๐ and ๐.๐ ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ซ ๐๐๐ฆ๐, but we should NEVER FORGET that it was Lou Williams who eased the pain after we lost CP3. Without Lou Will there'd be no Kawhi, nor PG13! We should Never Ever Forget what "Sweet Lou" did for the Clippers organization!!
Lou Williams has been a super-sub throughout his career! And he ๐๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ก ๐๐๐จ๐ซ๐๐ซ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐ ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒ with none other than the L.A. Clippers!

โด๏ธโข Lou Williams had ๐๐๐ career steals ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ฌ!
โณ๏ธโข With a Winning Record of ๐๐๐ ๐จ๐ the ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฌ that he ๐ฉlaye๐ for the Clippers - that earned him the ๐๐๐ญ๐ก position ๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ LA Clippers ๐
๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ก๐ข๐ฌ๐ leaderboard (๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐)!
๐ฅ Lou is arguably the GREATEST 6th man ever... Lou represented much more than that as a Clipper! He is a LEADER & a MENTOR. Lou Williams is one of the most important Clippers of all time!
For all those reasons we BELIEVE that the Clippers should give Lou Will either a 10-day contract, or worst-case scenario: a 1-Day contract, so that he can retire as a Clipper!
And of course, the Main Goals of this cause are to honor Lou Williams in two steps:
Initially we humbly ask Robert Covington to kindly change his jersey number, out of respect for Lou Williams and Lou Willโs contribution to the Clippers organization.
And ultimately by retiring his jersey number 23 in the rafters of the Clippers new arena in Inglewood! Right where it belongs!!
Thank you, Clipper Nation!! LET'S GO!!

P.S.
Apart from taking part in the petition, also do something more โ if you feel strongly enough about this issue, feel free to use more traditional means: write a letter to the Clipper Front Office, and mail it! Make a phone call, if that's your desire. If you actually take the time to do these things, it's clearly an important issue to you, and you're more likely to be heard.
