The Fight for LA skys
Donation protected
Have you been an NFL fan your whole life only to have your team suddenly taken away from your city? You may have been the most loyal and dedicated supporter but it didn't matter in the end. Have you ever wanted to tell the NFL how you actually feel? This is your chance.
I'm born and raised here in San Diego. I've been a die hard San Diego Charger fan my whole life. I haven't missed a game in 25 years. The fact that Dean Spanos knew he was moving the Chargers years ago and tried to blame the people of San Diego for only getting 43% on Prop C is a disgrace. In 2013, The Chargers and San Diego State met to discuss the outdated jumbotron at Qualcomm Stadium. San Diego State offered to pay for HALF of a jumbotron that would be one of the biggest in the NFL and college football. And the Chargers? They declined. Why would the Chargers decline to make their fan experience better? Because they knew they were going to LA years ago. Prop C was the definition of a hoax.
I'm here today to bring us together and help San Diego, St. Louis and Oakland cope with the loss of their respective teams. My plan is to rent a few billboards in LA that will be anti-NFL and anti-Dean Spanos. All of this just in time for the first ever "LA Chargers" home opener vs the Miami Dolphins on September 17th, 2017. The Chargers have three home games in a row and the billboards will be up not just for the first game but all three.
This isn't just for San Diego fans. This is for Oakland fans and St. Louis fans as well. Your cities didn't deserve this and most importantly, you didn't deserve this. I can't get into too much detail about where and what the billboards will say, but I definitely plan on putting "#Oakland and #STL" on the anti-NFL billboard for the fans in Oakland and St. Louis. Roger Goodell keeps talking about how "painful" relocation is for the NFL. The NFL doesn't care about us at all. Roger Goodell makes 34 million dollars a year and could care less about the people in San Diego, Oakland or St. Louis. It's time for us to stick it to the NFL by having these billboards in LA call them out on their bullshit.
To all of the LA Charger fans out there, I have no beef with you - seriously. From the 2006 team to the 2000 team, we've been Charger fans forever - through the good and the bad times. There is no reason for there to be any animosity between us. I was at the LA Rally when the Chargers were introduced. When I was there I met some really knowledgeable Charger fans and they understood my frustration. In fact this could bring us together. Let's be real - as long as the Chargers have a Spanos as an owner, they'll never win a championship. How did The Chargers handle LT? Seau? Weddle? They released Rodneny Harrsion. How did they end 56 years with city? A letter. Even if they were still here, it's a poorly run organization. If anything we should be uniting so that Dean sells the team and the Chargers have a real chance at success!
I promise you a great billboard with a powerful message to the NFL and Dean Spanos.
