“I appreciate the Chargers fans that were here,” Rivers said. “And I don’t want to insult the ones that aren’t. Who am I to say how they should spend an afternoon? It’s just not a home game.”
This is no longer a shock.
Three home games in, and this isn’t funny — not when you see the position the Chargers players have been put in.
The reality of the Chargers playing in a toy stadium with a high school locker room is neither quaint nor curious. Their being in Los Angeles, whose citizens have about 200 other things on their minds before they yawn, cock their heads and notice there is a second
NFL team among them and then shurg, is not merely surreal.
It’s a travesty.
Oh, it’s a perfect Hollywood story more fitting than even the most bitter Chargers fan could write. It’s exactly what Spanos family deserves.
