San Diego Chargers Abandon Their Fans
The San Diego Chargers have packed up their players, coaches, and equipment and went to Arizona to practice for thier game this Sunday against the Houston Texans. I think they have made a poor judgement to do this and abandon the Southern California area that is in such dire need of help right now. The Chargers have just showed that their football game this Sunday is more important than the folks around Qualcomm Stadium. Their own football stadium is being used for an emergency shelter for the people that have been left homeless form the California fires.
The Chargers have 50+ guys that are very strong and have endurance for helping with the fire fighting efforts. They also would be great for morale around the Qualcomm Stadium area. The team felt that a football game was more important than sticking around and helping all those people that have just lost everything they ever owned. I realize the area is filled with a lot of rich and very well-to-do folks, but there is also a lot of homes burning down to the ground, that aren’t that wealthy.
The Chargers game isn’t until Sunday. They could have missed a few practices to help the folks in Southern California and still could play the game on Sunday. So it’s not like they are actually missing a football game, but are choosing practicing over helping the folks in their community. I will not be rooting for the Chargers this Sunday and I hope the Houston Texans will add another talley to the loss column; to their already dissappointing season.
Some people need to just stop and realize when people really need help and not expect others to pick up the pieces. Everyone in Southern California is going to have to pitch in now and in the future to help build this area back up. The San Diego Chargers just missed their opportunity to make a difference!
