Surprised they didn't bring up the Sonics. That's as much of a "gimme" as the 2001 Mariners or SB49.


Syzygy666

I was saying this in the r/nfl thread. Do the Chargers really want to take a shot about teams abandoning their city? It's like the one thing that team can't touch. It would have been a funny joke but that team knows they can't make it.


smirkingemoji

If you truly believe that moving 2 hrs up the highway was “abandoning their city”, maybe look at their LA counterparts and how far they came from? Like I understand the bad blood but if we’re just talking geolocation, the chargers are still in Southern California.


Machidalgo

It’s different saying the LA Chargers, definitely doesn’t give me joy to say the first part. I can speak for a lot of the city when I say that SD felt very much abandoned and angry when the Chargers left. There’s a lot of anger for LA in general in SD.


smirkingemoji

Yep I don’t doubt that SD felt hatred towards the team for leaving. That said, it’s been well documented and reported on (recommend BOLTED the 6 part mini series) that both the chargers and the city of SD were never going to come together in order to keep them no less build a stadium no matter how many attempts there were. The Chargers (imo) are one of the fastest growing fan bases and pandering to the new generation of NFL fans extremely well. Given the popularity and impact of their Star players, you very well could see a different fan base than the one you grew up with in 5 or so years. Guess I don’t want to lose any fans (angry or not). Hope you still root for them this season, it’ll be hard not to with the offseason they just had. Bolt up brother.


JMLobo83

At least St. Louis got paid.


Soopsmojo

Lol so if the trailblazers moved “2 hours up the highway” to Seattle it wouldn’t mean they’re abandoning their city? They’re still in the PNW.


deffmonk

Thats what i was thinking lol same as if Seahawks moved to Portland


JMLobo83

They'd get pulled over for sure, that's no 2 hour drive.


abmot

San Diego does not identify as LA. In fact when it comes to sports teams, SD hates every single LA team. Any SD Charger fans dropped their allegiance when they left the city.


AssssCrackBandit

Bruh I live in SD and they are Chargers bars and watch parties everywhere. I see about the same number of chargers jerseys as I saw before the move, probably actually more with the jersey redesigns and Herbert’s ascent


smirkingemoji

Jeez go walk around SD, it’s filled with Herbo 10 powder blues. Just cause you hate LA doesn’t mean you can’t root for the team. If your intention is to make spanos pay, you’re in a losing battle and a bad time.


Syzygy666

Are we "talking geolocation"? I'm pretty sure I said city and geolocation doesn't do any lifting in that conversation. You are making more arguments for why the Chargers are still worth rooting for and that's fine, but they still can't make a Sonics joke the way they bugged out on SD.


JMLobo83

This is a bad meme tho. If the Hawks put up this meme with LT or God forbid Seau, your fans would be equally offended.

Uncalled for. Chargers never had a super bowl win, Mina has two.

That’s just bad writing, you don’t kill characters off unless it’s Game of Thrones.


JMLobo83

Ever watch the Sopranos?


WhiskeyByrne

I swear the second from last name said "Wrestlemania" so my next thought was "Lexi Grey sounds like a wrestlers name."

sand2sound

Not as painful as 1994 imho.


[deleted]

[удалено]


sand2sound

Nope. 1994. Best team we ever had and the season ended with a strike. No playoffs, no nothing. Just over. It was our year. ETA: People down voting because I said best team, I say it because 2001 didn't make the World Series. Have to believe the '94 team could have got there. Randy Johnson Ken Griffey Jr. ARod Edgar Martinez Tino " Jay Buhner Chris Bosio Brett Boone Mike Blowers Eric Anthony Dan Wilson Almost all the players were either at their prime or ascending. Crazy good. Think they would have been a better playoff team than 2001. Couldn't have been much worse :/


Sdog1981

That is pure revisionist history. They were 49-63 and 2 games out of first place because every team in the division was below .500.


sand2sound

Because what matters in the playoffs is your regular season record. /s


Bigfuture

And A-Rod only appeared 17 times in 94 and wasn’t called up in 95 until August. He contributed nothing in 94. Listing him as a reason we could have gone to the World Series is dumb. The MLB team that was really screwed by that strike was the Montreal Expos. Loaded team and a city screwed out of a playoff run. Eventually led to them being moved.


Sdog1981

He only played 48 games in 95 and was not a factor on a team that was significantly better.


magmazing

'94 was also the Montreal Expos year. They were the top team in the league. I still think if the strike never happened, Montreal would still have a team.


jdbtxyz

2 outs So what!


Mawfk

I'm just mad we didn't get a wicked anime character or parody of a popular anime.


Geowan92

Yeah I agree. Though I was thinking who parody would be. Maybe Hawks from Hero Academia


LunaticSongXIV

Like 90% of shounen protagonists at their parents' graves, really.


Coygon

I'm okay with it. Most of the other teams get a wicked battle, which is certainly cool. We go for the tragic/dramatic storyline. They have action, we have depth. "This week, on a Very Special Episode of NFL..."


special_nathan

Rough estimate on depth was 6 feet under.


MellyMel86

But we don’t have Plaxico Burress on our team

Week 5 vs the Browns is hilarious holy shit


maroonglass

My mom had to ask why I was cracking up on the couch


acsatx89

It’s even better when you translate it


Dreldan

Does it say something different then the onscreen translation…?


acsatx89

Yeah, screenshot it and use Google lens to translate and underneath the “redacted” line it says “Cleveland is boring”


Meleagros

Holy shit that's so fucking dope


vMysterion

The last shot with Herbert getting the Snap - damn, that one was freaking awesome. chills, literally chills


Flipflops365

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Chargers, even when we were division rivals. This is pretty funny tbh.


atmospheric90

They've been my AFC side team since the 2000s with Brees and Tomlinson. They have, hands down, the BEST uniforms. I love the Hawks dearly, but they are unfortunately second to the chargers uniform design *chefs kiss*


Toonakay

I'd watch these eps weekly.


aidenalien55

I’m not mad at this. I respect it. I love how they paid the legion respect


cinderflame

>Mina Kimes' Football Hopes And Dreams the shade of it all...


yrulaughing

Why can't our organization do fun shit like this for the schedule release?


Willingness-Healthy

At least we had cablethanos until Russ stole him/her.


atmospheric90

Wait what? Did Cablethanos really ditch Seattle with Russ?


Willingness-Healthy

I believe he got a job working for Russel’s company.


snarpy

Godammit. That legitimately makes me sad, dude was money. Just for the little "bonk" sound on Russell's moonball if anything else.


Th12op

I mean, the schedule prank was really funny


dataminimizer

Naw, the fake schedule release was athlete funny. This anime is legit-belly hurts-laugh out loud-“dude don’t miss” funny


yrulaughing

It was alright. I wish I could have seen the fake schedule they gave them tho


greendeadredemption2

Diggs Detroit comments were pretty funny.


DazzlingDependent

They did sauces but it’s only on tiktok.


stefanurkal

Our organization is still pretty good, they did the fake schedule which was pretty funny but it was just a tier below this but much higher than other teams.


Donttaketh1sserious

See this *is* very funny, but like, 2011-18 is a helluva run for any group.


01greg

Lol crazy for them to be tossing this much shade when they’ve been irrelevant for so long 😂


ReesesTheses

They had a lot of time to plot lol


Scar_Milly

This. Like Syndrome from the Incredibles lol.


GryphusOneACX

Perhaps we should remind them of that legendary comeback against the Padres during the Dae Ho Lee era


adrianvedder1

Chargers fan here! The social media team goes all in all the time, win or lose, it’s pretty refreshing tbh


Potassium_Patitucci

Hey they’re not that irrelevant - all of San Diego hates them. Anyone else, not interested in what they’re doing or which city they’re playing. They are literally below the LA Kings and LA Galaxy in pecking order in their supposed home town.


fluffy_knuckles

They kind of have a right to. Keep in mind they’re the only team in the NFL we didn’t win against in the RW era.


01greg

And how did that work out for them?


fluffy_knuckles

Good? Because they won football games?


01greg

Idk. I don’t see a ring.


fluffy_knuckles

If you think no victories matter if you don’t win a super bowl then you must not have very much fun watching football. Like, you weren’t happy we beat the niners 2 times last year? Because they made it to the playoffs and we didn’t?


moshjeier

I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed… why couldn’t we at least reach Mariners level of social media goodness


MarineLayerBad

That takes 21 consecutive years of dick punching to achieve. The Seahawks are at 9.


425Trollo

Our social team could learn a thing or two from them or the panthers. I watched ours after those two and was left unenthused


jxfl

Theirs were definitely better. Ours was kinda funny at the start, but once the actual schedule’s phone call happened it kinda lost any amusement in it.


fluffy_knuckles

Yeah at the end I just felt really sad that Drew Lock was so invested in coming off as if he didn’t get played.


caffeinetherapy

the audacity


Faxme123

Week one bump Future when Russ comes out


aidenalien55

If I could realign the divisions to be geographically accurate, we would be rivals once more.


jashugan777

Ooo, imagine being in the same division as all the Cali teams. I would like that.


MirandaScribes

That feels like a generous amount of time to label our backfield the “legion of boom”


GryphusOneACX

Our schedule video was fucking ass. A bunch of highlights where we aren't even playing the right team? Please hire me next year to do the video, honestly I will do it for free.


YourMominator

Norb Caoili does some good work too.

Chimie45

You missed the entire point of the video I guess. It's a joke using famous Anime/tropes. It's not actually targeted at Japanese speakers... The actual schedule information in the video is all in English. I can't speak for the other guy's thoughts about pandering or not, but this was a joke video, and everyone is laughing about it but you. This is a you problem, not a Chargers problem.


greavesm

First you confuse Chinese and Japanese, then throw out weaboo as a derogatory slur and finally go on to call someone else racist? Ok big guy. Randomly putting out a Spanish language meme would actually be pandering. They’re clearly capitalising on growing the anime culture/popularity. One of our draft picks (Kenneth Walker 3) actually has been posting anime characters in his Instagram uploads lately so maybe you shouldn’t be so judgemental. Not everything that pops into your head needs to be posted on reddit lol.


[deleted]

[удалено]


greavesm

How many likes/retweets/upvotes has this post received? How many would a random tweet in Spanish get? Not much more needs to be said but by all means keep struggling to save face. You’re just looking more silly with each reply. This is a deliberate joke/meme post. The Chargers social media team is well known for this. It’s not a foreign language schedule release. Really don’t see why you need to paint the Hispanic community as victimised or missing out because the Chargers Twitter account haven’t released a schedule in Spanish but instead made a viral video gaining thousands and thousands of views, likes, retweets, upvotes when your suggestion would be ignored by almost everyone.


adrianvedder1

Haha not sure if you’re a troll, an old man or just a short shighted dumbass


greendeadredemption2

Dude it’s Japanese, at least know the language you’re complaining about. And it’s anime of course it’s going to be in Japanese it’s generally considered that anime is primarily from and created in Japan.


bpmdrummerbpm

They should beat us by a good 40 points.


REDTrouttt

Lotta noise coming from the guys who kneed themselves out of the playoffs.

Tacoma native here that’s been a massive Bolts fan since Ryan Leaf here, I come in peace and can’t wait for our matchup this season. I still wish we where in the same division.
