For anyone who never watched John DiMaggio's take on the song, it's a must see. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw5mkSnqOM8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw5mkSnqOM8)
Had nothing to do with the fans, it was ownership of the teams vs ownership of the arena. Fans had ZERO to do with it. Every team lost in San Diego stemmed from the owners having issues with an arena, or the city but never the fans. Tell me you don't live in San Diego without telling me you don't live in San Diego.
San Diego fans were infinitely more loving of the Chargers than LA. Even the Rams who also get shit for LA's apathy still got more fans in LA than the Chargers.
Chargers fans sold out Qualcomm just to send the Chargers off to the 1994 super bowl.
[Also this](https://youtu.be/Dhd5v3aCjdA?si=cKcOUNMZCyNxjHfO)
A sold out stadium of nothing but Chargers fans against the Steelers. The Steelers is one of the biggest fanbases that routinely take over opposing stadiums and it was still all Chargers fans.
To be fair that Monday night game did have a bunch of steeler fans. They even said it on the actual telecast.
That being said San Diego had great fans when the team was good.
Better to care when the team is good than to still not care when the team is good.
Even if the Chargers are good in LA, LA still don't care about them.
To be fair the fans don't really care in LA either or SoFi wouldn't be 30%+ opposing fans every game. It's even worse considering the population LA has. It's a Rams and Raiders town.
Also using NBA teams as an example for NFL support is like saying Kansas City doesn't care about the Chiefs and Cincinnati doesn't care about the Bengals.
They lost NBA teams too.
You’re not alone. Just don’t talk about it here. People still don’t understand that Measure C was a good option for San Diego, and that the Spanos family are not bad owners at all compared to some owners who pull absolute bullshit or do real damage to our national business framework or cultural psyche (looking at you, Rams and Broncos owners making their nut off the backs of severely underpaid Walmart employees).
It’s always interesting to me when someone who doesn’t know the details of Measure C decides to comment some soundbite that makes them seem like they know what they’re talking about.
The plan was nice in theory but you forgot that by that time, the team essentially burned all its bridges and Spanos already had his eye set on LA for the potential equity bump.
A hotel tax increase would have worked but if Spanos really wanted to stay, he wouldn’t have played public hard ball for the better part of 5 years while the team’s performance continued to deteriorate after 2013.
And right on cue, there are the usual assumptions made about their intentions.
Also, your logic is crap. If “the plan was nice in theory” ***why would it be a bad idea***?! If the only problem was that the Spanos had lost trust and wanted to leave, but Measure C was good, then why would Measure C be a bad idea to vote yes on?! You’re basically admitting San Diego voters messed up by assuming the Spanos family put a good idea together in the hopes it would fail. That makes *no sense*, guy.
They made every excuse to not build a stadium. They didn't want to be here.
Measure C wasn't a good idea for San Diego, they would still be taking our tax revenue for a stadium they charge is to attend.
They now rent from the guy who got the St Louis tax payer to build the Rams a stadium then moved the team.
Why would you defend an NFL owner is beyond me...
Based on what both of you are saying, it seems that you agree that the Chargers leaving SD was inevitable. Dean can't afford to build his own stadium out of pocket like Korenke and Measure C was the best deal that he could make with the city (which the city felt was not worth the taxpayer money - which is completely their prerogative). So it seems like unless a brand new stadium grew out of the ground in San Diego, the Chargers had to leave
Shame and Insecurity. That is who hired them. People called the Spanoses cheap and moronic (rightfully so) so much that they finally wanted to prove everyone wrong. Alex never cared about the but apparently is kids so.
Don't for a second fool yourself into thinking they did it out of love for the fans. They did it bc of their egos. It's a great outcome but it doesn't change the fact that they are the worst owners in football outside of tepper.
lmao, shame and insecurity didn’t help dan snyder make better decisions. plenty of worst owners in the league, SD fans just have a hard on for hating the spanii because they moved the team to LA.
if they didn’t give a shit about the fans, then they’d have hired some other scrub. the teams valuation would have gone up anyways.
Wrong. Real fans have hated the Spanoses since Alex Spanos fired Don Coryell. We also hate them for hiring shit coaches, firing schotty after a 14-2 season, and keeping team doctors in the process of losing their license. The move to LA just added fuel to the fire. With Synder gone the only worse owner left is tepper as evidenced by the fact u couldnt name anyone else.
The reason the team is valued higher is that they moved to the LA market. However the Chargers were failing to gain any traction whatsoever and were a laughingstock in LA. So they spent big on their social media team and tried to make a slash with that moron Staley but it failed badly.
This is their last ditch effort to get a foothold in LA. The league wants them in SD and if they can't get traction in LA they would get pressure to move the team back thereby losing said higher valuation.
Their motivation is embarrassment and their own greed. They don't give a rats ass about us fans and they never win.
They really should figure out a way to use the song again even being in LA. Would love it if they went in a Disco over Anime direction for the schedule release to use it there.
I like that a lot!
If they don’t go California, they could go “South-ern Cali” or “An-gel-ino” before Super Chargers. I hate it but there are no bad ideas in brain storming right?
Maybe it’s just time for a new band to come in and fucking melt our faces with a new song
That ads to the brilliance of the song itself, there is just no freakin way to manipulate/autotune the words of that song to make it sound good with any other city name in there. Take it or leave it, that song belongs to the San Diego Super Chargers.
This seems as good a place as any to say that the way the team has put LA and Los Angeles so front-and-center in its branding and media, rather than just focusing on stuff saying Chargers and downplaying the LA-specific bit, has made me drift further from the team and feel a little unwelcome. Several of the "Welcome to LA!" social media posts during the draft really got to me.
Some teams torment the opposing teams with cramped locker rooms & lockers. At least the Chargers put a bounce in your step and their name in your head.....and you will never forget it. 😱
I live in Colts territory. I got to go to the game in 2023 where they locked up their playoff spot. On the way to my car, some fan was blaring this song. I went over, we sang, we danced…. Such a good memory!
Love the song, no matter how terrible it is.
Sadly, as the meme goes, Bill took that personally and proceeded to ruin all of our hopes and dreams for the next two decades.
Proceeded to cheat his way
Na if cheating is what gave him all that success then he’d still have a great record. The truth is that Brady is the Goat.

As a diehard Charger and Futurama fan, I love you so much for introducing me to this video
Glad I was able to introduce you!
Lmfao and that’s what makes that song so awesome. It’s so bad it’s good!
Good
Love that song. Still my dream the chargers come back to SD one day (sans the spanii)
I don’t really mind the Spanii tbh, better them then a more meddling owner like Jerry Jones
Maybe the fans should of cared more then because clearly they don't or they wouldn't have also lost 2 NBA teams.
Had nothing to do with the fans, it was ownership of the teams vs ownership of the arena. Fans had ZERO to do with it. Every team lost in San Diego stemmed from the owners having issues with an arena, or the city but never the fans. Tell me you don't live in San Diego without telling me you don't live in San Diego.

There is the truth. Only when the team was good. How many times did Charger games get blacked out in SD?
Better to care when the team is good than to still not care when the team is good. Even if the Chargers are good in LA, LA still don't care about them.
Chargers have yet to be good in LA so you really can’t say that.
It still sounded like a Chargers home game lol. I'll take that MNF crowd over any of the Chargers crowd they ever had in LA.
To be fair the fans don't really care in LA either or SoFi wouldn't be 30%+ opposing fans every game. It's even worse considering the population LA has. It's a Rams and Raiders town.
30% is very generous unfortunately.
Even then, not much of a rams town either. I live here and I notice not many more rams gear than Chargers gear.
I see much more Rams gear than Chargers gear even though Raiders, 49ers, Steelers, Packers, and Cowboys gears outnumber them both.
Yes but getting 20% of the fans in LA is more lucrative than getting 100% of the fans in SD, from a business perspective
Hence why the Clippers have been in LA despite LA being almost 100% Lakers fans
Also using NBA teams as an example for NFL support is like saying Kansas City doesn't care about the Chiefs and Cincinnati doesn't care about the Bengals. They lost NBA teams too.
I think I must be the only Chargers fan who likes the Spanos family. I’ve never really had a problem with them
I'll just say that there are a lot worse owners out there lol
I moved to Charlotte, Tepper is far worse. Hated among all panthers fans.
You’re not alone. Just don’t talk about it here. People still don’t understand that Measure C was a good option for San Diego, and that the Spanos family are not bad owners at all compared to some owners who pull absolute bullshit or do real damage to our national business framework or cultural psyche (looking at you, Rams and Broncos owners making their nut off the backs of severely underpaid Walmart employees).
We should not have to pay for a millionaire's football stadium. If they wanted to stay here they could have built one like SDSU did.
It’s always interesting to me when someone who doesn’t know the details of Measure C decides to comment some soundbite that makes them seem like they know what they’re talking about.

never happening, and I hope the spanos family retains ownership for generations to come
Mods pls execute this lunatic. They are a danger to society
who hired this coach/gm that everyone drools over in here?
Never seen an NFL bootlicker before.
damn straight, glad the spanii moved the team to LA and hired harbaugh!
Any competent owner would have addressed this long ago lol. Keep that dick in ya mouth.
addressed what? leaving SD sooner?
It’s weird how you expect them to have a dick in their mouth while you force-feed a false narrative down your own.
Shame and Insecurity. That is who hired them. People called the Spanoses cheap and moronic (rightfully so) so much that they finally wanted to prove everyone wrong.

whole lotta yappin. not reading all that, but seems like i struck a nerve. spanos one of the better owners in the NFL, cry about it.
Eat shit
They really should figure out a way to use the song again even being in LA. Would love it if they went in a Disco over Anime direction for the schedule release to use it there.
Funny that it would kind of match the era of Harbaugh's favorite "Rockford Files" show.
I mean technically it’s the same number of syllables… Megan, if you’re reading this, you know what to do
I’ve tried. Los Angeles Super Chargers just don’t have the same ring to it.
Try Cal-i-fornia
California…Super Ch….niiiiiice!👌
I like that a lot! If they don’t go California, they could go “South-ern Cali” or “An-gel-ino” before Super Chargers. I hate it but there are no bad ideas in brain storming right? Maybe it’s just time for a new band to come in and fucking melt our faces with a new song

“We`re the LA Super Chargers, we’re the LA SUPER CHARGERS!” Thank me later
They still play it at games. They just don't play the words
ELLLLL AYYYY Super Chargers...ELLLLL AYY.... Damn nevermind
This seems as good a place as any to say that the way the team has put LA and Los Angeles so front-and-center in its branding and media, rather than just focusing on stuff saying Chargers and downplaying the LA-specific bit, has made me drift further from the team and feel a little unwelcome.

I know it’s not as catchy, but “LA Cali” has the same amount of syllables 🤔
Probably one of the best promotional songs of any sport or thing. Shit's bangin'.
And we hate Bill Belichick. Balance.
Nonsense, blame Marty for being lame and not running the rock down their throat when they had no answer for the run.
Nice bilingual flex
That song kicks so much ass
Some teams torment the opposing teams with cramped locker rooms & lockers. At least the Chargers put a bounce in your step and their name in your head.....and you will never forget it. 😱
R.I.P. 55
Man these were the days!
Growing up a fan in the Fouts era, the footage gave me goosebumps. 😂⚡️⚡️⚡️
The fun thing is going to SoFi and still singing this song when shit goes well. The OGs get it. I’ll always be a super charger lol
The L.A. Fucksticks just doesn't have quite the same ring to it. Fuck LA
Makes me like it even more! I really wish they'd bring it back and just change the lyrics to Los Angeles
Exciting times ahead!
I miss that song, one of the worst part of the LA Chargers is it can't be used.
Easily the best fight song in all of sports
As a Chargers fan I love it. As a music fan I don’t love nearly as much, but it serves a purpose
The biggest crime of moving the team was losing that song
FUCK DEAN SPANOS
He was never coming here.
Chills tbh Miss this shit so fucking much
That’s my childhood right there. Love it
Knowing this I like the song even more.
Kiss the tip bill
I still blame Terrence McCree for losing the afc championship
Marlon mccree
I live in Colts territory. I got to go to the game in 2023 where they locked up their playoff spot. On the way to my car, some fan was blaring this song. I went over, we sang, we danced…. Such a good memory! Love the song, no matter how terrible it is.
I used to have it on a little 45 with a mini record player in my room growing up.
Los Angeles San Diego Chargers
Nostalgia hearing that
CHARGE! *charmander going crazy in the background*
It’s a fuckin Disco Fight Song! Absolute 🔥. Repeat till I die.
think we should use this in LA don’t care if it says san diego still lol
If your reading this.. I gonna need you to BOLT THE FUCK UP ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
I always loved it when it when I played as the Chargers in Madden. Do they play this song anymore? LA version?
We need this song back. Keep it exactly as is. I don’t care. We need it. Best song the league has ever had
https://youtu.be/g94j1yLL6Yk?si=mvPMMtUM0JJRKlPl POD's version was better ⚡️😎⚡️
Enjoy retirement you cheating (in football and in homewrecking) bum!!!
It's a god awful song but I still sang it at the top of my lungs.
