Chargers logo booed during Clippers-Lakers game at Staples Center

Los Angeles Chargers, in powder blue, with yellow letters…and no lighting bolt.

Los Angeles’ two National Basketball Association teams played against each other on Saturday at Staples Center, and Chargers tight end Jeff Cumberland was there, so they showed him on the jumbotron, as they usually do when anyone of note is in attendance.

The Rams spent this season playing in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

The Chargers dismissed McCoy on January 1, hours after a season-ending 37-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and which left the team with a 5-11 record this season. They ended the year at the bottom of the league in most offensive categories.With every other vacancy around the league filled except that of the 49ers, it looks as if Kelly will either have to consider an offensive coordinator position or head back to college. Then, advertisers pay those broadcasters a lot of money for commercials.

Then again, maybe Spanos just felt he had no choice. The logo was ripped apart by not just fans, but also fellow pro sports teams…

“We have a lot of great memories but, when it comes to the public treasury, there are limits to what you’re willing to do to keep something like this here”, Roberts said. Instead, fans gathered to toss their Chargers jerseys and other team paraphernalia into a growing pile of trash to show their disgust over having their team of 56 years taken from them.

Maybe they should consider going with what has worked for decades.

Laslavic went on about the fans.

Team chairman Dean Spanos made the announcement that the Chargers will relocate to LA for the 2017 season in a letter posted Thursday on the Chargers’ Twitter account, which was rebranded as the Los Angeles Chargers. A lovely, serene city filled with walkable streets and relaxing sites will survive without its middling-at-best pro football team, but the revenue and tourism generated by the Chargers was nothing to scoff at for the city. “You not only have ticket revenues, but you have concessions income, catering income and signage income”.

How do you think the Chargers will fare in LA?

San Diego is due to host the inaugural edition of the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) World Beach Games in 2019.

Even the Raiders are more popular, he writes.

The American football team were based in Los Angeles for their inaugural season back in 1960, but moved to San Diego the following year.
