I've never even been to San Diego, and I can't answer the question. I honestly do not know. I suspect not. My original team was ripped from my city and I'm not a fan of that team or the replacement team. I think I just answered the question. Fvck the NFL. No. And not a fan of any other team either.

Getting ripped twice would suck for sure.

Well I'm not personally getting ripped here, you guys are, but it's the same damn thing that turned me into a Charger's fan to begin with. So yeah, if it happens, I am done with the NFL.

The other L.A. teams? The Crips and the Bloods?

Hahahahahahaha!!!!! Funniest line of the offseason IMO. Thanks for the laugh.

As an out-of-towner, I'm done if they go to LA. I've been to LA, and there's nothing to like about it at all.

If they move elsewhere, I'll consider following along. St Louis I definitely would as that puts them close to home.

And if the Raiders moved to SD, I'd follow them....as long as they changed their name.

Are you talking for the short term, with all the players who have a connection to the San Diego Chargers? What about ten years from now when all the players on the team would be all drafted as LA Chargers?

If it's really all about the players, then why not just root for individual players and not the teams, since the teams represent the cities that they are in? Maybe fantasy football is the way to go.

Nope if im rooting for players on the team i will continue to want to see players come in to help them. I dont have a problem with the coaches either. Or telesco. This is about Spanos. I got a lot invested in the Chargers. I cant just turn on the current players i love as well as the staff. Rooting for another team would just feel superficial to me. I have a lot of emotion invested with this team. Not the owners. They are an hour away. Still the Chargers and Blue and Gold. Only way i turn away from them is if San Diego ever got a new team. And i doubt that would ever happen.

I will certainly disagree with your opinion here. The city did NOT fuck this up or "cause" the team to go apeshit greedy and act like 4 year olds. The city (Mayor Susan Golding) in fact INITIATED the deal to KEEP THE CHARGERS FOR 20 YEARS! Everybody signed the contract and everybody was happy they would stay 20 more years. Towards the END of a contract is when you negotiate the next 1- that's how its traditionally done throughout the business world. Just because the team started crying a few years into the 20 doesn't put any blame on the city for not trying to keep the team.

Remind me of an option the team had to play somewhere else...and if they had the option to extend only ten years (more reasonable for everyone considering the age/condition of the Q then).

I was a Colts fan as a kid, lived in Md......came out to SD with Johnny U and then morphed into Bolt fan.....

[Mister Hoarse]

Right now I'm too pissed at Dean Spanos to answer for sure.
I don't live in SD and never have, but I adopted the town as my weekend getaway long ago, and have many friends there who will be devestated if their Bolts leave.
I'm with them.

For me, it's a different question. That question is, "if the Chargers move to LA, will you still be an NFL fan?" I am so sick and tired of the NFL and its greedy bullshit, holding cities and the fans hostage, and all the other stuff they screw up on an annual basis, that I am starting to move on mentally and emotionally from NFL football. So, to the extent that I would even be an NFL fan, I would still favor the Chargers over any other team, LA or no LA. Changing allegiance to another team would be out of the question and a waste of time.

Great Post Viejo... the brand has changed so much, there willing to shit on a city that has blindly supported them for 50+ years; and for what really? More money; is it THAT MUCH MORE MONEY?

We turn on players left and right ... happens every year. I love drew Brees and hope he loses every game he plays. Loved LT, hoped he didn't gain a yard while he was a stupid NY Jet.

The only reason I'm a Chargers fan is because I was born/raised in SAN DIEGO. My aliegieance starts and ends with location. This being said, I would have a much easier time with them moving to Toronto or Council Bluffs Iowa as Los Angeles is the Devil to me.

In the end, I didn't choose to be a Chargers fan, nor did I choose to be born in SD... but when your born in SD, your a Chargers/Padres fan... just the way I was raised.
