Chargers Schedule Release Anime

[BlazingBolt]

There is only one way for the Chargers to be successful, and that is winning. Nothing else matters.

This is just ignorant and wrong. Your not a child how can you have such a simplistic world view?

winning actually doesn’t matter as much as you think, winning would not have kept the team in San Diego for instance, it was the reality of the Public over all attitude toward contributing public money to subsidize the NFL in the region. It was the opinion of non fans that got the team to move. Non fans don’t care if the team wins.

the marketing got plenty of non fans interested in football and the chargers and you looked you would see many many posts on the videos thread of people declarining it turned them in to Chargers fans.

you can win the Super Bowl and have to fold as a franchise the next season.

winning is all that matters to you in your very narrow idea of fandom. But getting upset at non football team employees doing a good job is dumb and not understanding the team needs to market themselves is ridiculous for anyone over 8 years old.

[BlazingBolt]

Marketing is a waste of time if the team doesn't win. No amount of marketing is going to grow the LA fan base. Only winning will do that.

This is factually wrong. If the team didn’t market themselves when they won they would be dumber than the shit you have posted in this thread.

and of course when you have marketable players and experience you don’t wait till you make the playoffs to start trying tell people to watch and come to games.

There are a large population of "ignorant" fans. We want to see our team on the field. Talent, heart, effort, coaching, etc. Great games vs great opponents with a majority of wins and the prospect of winning a SB meet most of my fan needs. A Lombardi would be warmly received. The next game is number 1 on my list. The video was nice.

Sorry mate, this just isn’t true. The Chargers can spend a billion dollars on marketing and it won’t grow the fan base one iota. The Chargers will still have fewer fans in their own stadium than the visiting team. The only thing that will grow the Chargers fan base in LA is winning. Everything else is B.S. Winning is the only thing that is going to get LA locals excited about the Chargers.

so marketing doesnt work?

Superstars draw fans. JH is a budding superstar. You will see way more fans this year. Just hoping we can get enough to lessen the opposing fans. Really embarrassing at times. :couch:

You couldn’t be more wrong mate. The Raiders won the only Super Bowl for Los Angeles (until a few months ago.) That is why they have remained popular in L.A. Marketing int the NFL is mostly bullshit. Winning is the only effective marketing ploy in the NFL.

Their Super Bowl win was 38 years ago. No one under 45 years old saw it. Probably no one under 50 remembers it. Kids don't buy Raider gear for some ancient history.They buy it because its marketed as cool and rebellious and because their favorite pop rap acts wear it. Its marketing because 50 year olds are not the market gear is aimed at. If winning was the only effective marketing there would be no Raider gear because the have not won anything in over four decades and don't even play in LA and have not for 30 years.

Oooh, I l know the answer to this one:


"No it isn't!"

Winning isn't everything, you're right. It is the only thing. No amount of marketing is going build a fan base in Los Angeles for the Chargers. Los Angeles sports fans don't even want the Chargers in LA. They think it's absurd the Spanos family moved the team from San Diego. The Chargers are facing a tremendous uphill battle to win over fans in LA. They're a tenant in the stadium built by the No.1 NFL team in Los Angeles, the Rams, who just won the Super Bowl, their second Super Bowl in the three seasons. LA has winning franchises in the Lakers and Dodgers and the now Rams. The Chargers barely even register, most people who reside in LA think the team and the Spanos family are a joke. You think that some silly anime video is going to suddenly make LA stand up and take notice of the Chargers?

There are only two things that will make LA fans even notice the Chargers exist: 1. Winning. 2. Justin Herbert - and only if he is winning.

You should read this story, because it is reality. And the only thing that is going to change this reality is winning. Not marketing. Not social media. Not amine. Winning.

If there’s anything LA respects, it’s a winner. So it figures that now that the Rams are playing in their second Super Bowl in three years, and on their home field to boot, the Chargers barely register. In a recent survey designed to weed out the “saddest” NFL fans, or those “most emotionally upset” by wins and losses, the Chargers ranked dead last – which provides some sense of the depth of apathy here. Attendance is another quality indicator, and before the move to SoFi – again, the Rams’ house – the Chargers came in dead last through the turnstiles, too.

Again, you couldn't be more wrong. Here is a story from February in the Las Vegas newspaper that will help you understand why the Raiders, who played in LA until '94, remain popular in Los Angeles. https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports...-town-2528596/

You can’t just wipe away 1982-94, the Super Bowl victory and the cultural connection born from those years when the Raiders made the Los Angeles Coliseum home. The history is too profound.

Mark Davis understands why the Raiders still have a fan base in LA, and that is why he was rooting for the Bengals to win.

“We are the first and still right now the only team from Los Angeles to win a Super Bowl,” said Raiders owner Mark Davis.

In the '80s, the Raiders has a gangsta persona, under Al Davis, it's one reason why Marty Schottenheimer didn't like the Raiders or Al Davis, which fueled his motivation to beat them - Raiders week. The Raiders' gangsta persona cemented itself with a certain type of fan in L.A. that has carried over from previous generations.

The story has never wavered, how the Raiders moving to Los Angeles in the early ’80s crossed into a hip hop and gangsta rap generation which took hold of everything about the team. Its colors. Its logo. Its bad boy persona.

My generation — those in their 40s and 50s — will always stick with the Raiders.” Soto said. “I do think the Rams are beginning to draw some of the millennials. Everything goes through stages.

This is what I'm talking about. No silly amine marketing gimmick is going impress a single football fan in LA.

Nobody talks much about the Chargers here. A mere bug on the proverbial windshield.

Again, everything hinges on just one thing:

Winning is the best tonic for any sort of apathy.

I'd like to see more discussion about the video itself, to bring this discussion back on topic.

I let it go previously when you thought anime and cartoons were the same thing. But now deliberately misspelling anime is just disrespectful.
