In San Diego, the love for the Chargers runs deeper than the wins and losses. So now that the team is leaving for Los Angeles, will fans follow?
They have a few options. Let’s explore them.
1. Stick with the team.
The Chargers have already unveiled their controversial L.A. logo and the website fightforla.com, which gives fans the chance to secure season tickets with a $100 deposit. The wheels are turning and they’re turning fast.
The team will play in the StubHub Center temporarily. Will any fans from San Diego be there? Maybe.
2. Find a new team.
A die-hard Chargers fan I know (who wishes to remain anonymous) actually took to Facebook Thursday to ask friends and family for suggestions about which team he should switch to. He said he was leaning toward the Rams, Redskins and Patriots, and ultimately landed on the Rams.
One fan is even selling his NFL fanhood on ebay.
3. Hang around for the players.
Can you root for your favorite players without rooting for the Chargers organization? Maybe bail out once they retire?
4. Don’t root for anyone.
It’s the San Diego Chargers or nothing for some fans. They say they’re turning their hearts to the remaining local sports franchises or boycotting the NFL.
4. Who the heck knows?
We asked fans on Twitter what they’ll do, and the results were pretty mixed. Vote to see the results!
Fans are hurt and grieving, and we don’t blame them. Here’s a look at how fans are wrestling with the unknown.
