that the 49ers moved south to Santa Clara and they are winning. SF being a tourist town, Santa Clara being in a business area. Never happened in Oakland because
nobody outside of Raiders fans would want to be there.
The other issue is the team owners and management decisions. We used to pack Qcom when the Chargers were competitive. Went many years in the dumpster.
Went to the SB, then got rid of Bobby Ross. Went 14-2 with a bright future, got rid of Marty. Then the Spanos started talking about a new stadium and the possibilty
of moving to LA. Pissed off a lot of people. Then the failures of building in SD and ultimate move to LA, pissed off more people. No championship after more than
59 years with the exception of the AFL 1963 team.
Finally until relatively recently SD was a Navy town. Not a lot of high paying jobs. Biggest employer being the defense industry. So if you were young say in the
20's and grew up a Charger fan you moved away for career reasons. That happened to me and other friends I had. So we are scattered.
The team belongs in SD. LA will not support the Chargers. They will need to win SBs before the next generation adopts them. That as we know may never
happen so long as the Spanos are making the decisions.
