San Diego Chargers

LA Chargers?

Yep. Really sucks for them. 55 years of being in SD. People were born, had kids, got see their kids grow up, and died all while the Chargers were in SD.

However, the chargers have an owner who didn't want to invest any of his own money in a new stadium. Didn't want to do any work to try and get investors to help pay for the stadium, and instead, wanted tax payers to foot the entire bill. Not only that, he wouldn't accept tax payers footing the bill in much more affordable Mission Valley. It had to be in downtown.

Really does such for the chargers, but I applaud them for not capitulating.

Moving back to their original home.  But it sucks.

Nice recap as usual Benny.  Glad to see fiscally astute San Diego taxpayers do the right thing.
