Week 2 - Bye San Diego, Whazzup LA. Fans React Coldly.

It's official, the San Diego Chargers are no more. The team has just announced that they will be moving to Los Angeles to start next season, and the fans from the city that is called "America's Finest City" are definitely not happy with anything about it.

After reacting to the news that the Chargers were leaving, fans burned their memorabilia in a fiery pit in similar fashion to something Cleveland did in 1995 when Art Modell announced that he was starting a new franchise in Baltimore. They expressed their disappointment and frustration over Dean Spanos' decision through tears, which are normal in the grieving process that stands tall among even the most iconic sports teams.

Their culture has changed dramatically because of those news. The once-proud fanbase has turned into a devastated group of people that won't be looking forward to the NFL for a little while.

Ever since coming to San Diego in 1961 (they spent their first season back at LA), the Chargers have won one AFL championship (in 1963, where they clobbered the then-Boston Patriots, 51 to 10) and went to one Super Bowl (in 1995, where they lost to Steve Young and the Niners by the final score of 49 to 26). They have been a heavy fan favorite in the Golden State because of their famous traditions, including the San Diego Super Chargers song that was written during head coach Don Coryell's high-flying offense in the late 70's and early 80's.

That will now sadly be a thing in the past and also to be a total afterthought because of what has unfolded in the general manager's office.

Last year, the Rams fled St. Louis in favor of the City of Angels, thus starting their new life in that city for their first season there since 1994.

This would be a great example of a theory that demonstrates on how fans' cultures can play a huge role in whatever mood they are in when their team has made such unthinkable decisions to leave their cities. Dedicated ones can no longer be committed to their teams once the shoe has dropped. Plus, nobody, not even their rivals in the league, likes their new logo and it was easily trolled on Twitter and other social media sites in the past couple days.

My guess for the theory behind all of this would need to be that even the biggest die-hard/vested fans, according to Sutton and other psychologists, have shown so much disdain over that. They believe in a huge fact that they are being abandoned and hurt by the team that they have loved for a long time. The dedication they have once had for, let alone their whole lives, may dwindle to the point where they don't really want to watch the NFL at all.

Their psychological conditions may have some unrest for a little bit as the outcome proved to be much against their favor and recommendation to stay in San Diego for another season, or maybe the rest of the NFL's existence thanks to how much they meant a lot to their fans. They have loved them for so long but after this month, not really. Thanks for the memories.
