In 1995, NFL football in Los Angeles came to a screeching halt. Both the Raiders and Rams, who had relative success during their tenures in Southern California, were leaving to Oakland and St. Louis, respectively.

Over the past decade, there had been rumors about the NFL’s interest in bringing football back to Los Angeles. In 2016, those whispers became a reality, when the NFL announced the Rams’ return to Los Angeles.

Just one year later, the NFL added a second team to relocate to Los Angeles, this time the San Diego Chargers.

That decision has proven to be a major mistake.

There were already major concerns about the size of their stadium. Their future stadium, Los Angeles Stadium, which they will share with the Rams, will not be completed until 2020. In the meantime, the Chargers are stuck using the StubHub Center, which holds just 27,000 fans, the smallest in the NFL.

Unlike the Rams, the Chargers are faced with the task of playing in a brand new city. Many Los Angeles Rams fans stayed loyal to the team throughout their tenure in St. Louis, and naturally returned to supporting the Rams when they moved back to Los Angeles. Most Chargers fans, on the other hand, remain in San Diego, and the costly 120-mile trip from San Diego to Los Angeles doesn’t help attract fans to the StubHub Center.

Worst of all, not only have Chargers fans been absent at games, but fans of the visiting teams have filled up the StubHub Center.

In their home opener in Week Two, the Chargers fell to the Miami Dolphins, 19-17, and Dolphins players felt a friendly crowd during the game. The Dolphins’ wide receiver Jarvis Landry enjoyed the atmosphere at the StubHub Center: “It was perfect for us…I’m always so happy when we touch L.A. because we always get a good turnout. It’s always good to take over somebody else’s stadium.”

But the game against the Dolphins wasn’t unique. Their next home game was against the Kansas City Chiefs, known for having a well-traveled fan base. Chiefs fans filled the StubHub Center that day, to the point where there were noticeable, “CHIEFS! CHIEFS! CHIEFS!” chants throughout the crowd. Things got so bad, according to Ryan Phillips of USA Today, that the Chargers “didn’t even do player introductions over the public address system due to fears their own players would get booed.”

And after the Chargers’ third (and most recent) home game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Eagles defensive tackle Jason Peters told reporters: “It’s almost like the Chargers got 16 road games. It’s going to be tough sledding for those guys.”

Yes, we all know the NFL is a business, and team locations will be chosen according to their ability to sell tickets. But at some point, Roger Goodell needs to look himself in the mirror and realize a team like the Chargers getting booed off the field every week is bad for the game. Isn’t having a passionate fan base more important to the league than making a few extra bucks?

The current situation is nothing short of an embarrassment. As one Chargers fan put it to The Washington Post, the lack of support at the StubHub Center is “nauseating.” He added, “Everyone knows we’re not wanted here. L.A. doesn’t want the Chargers.”

And the most surprising statement of all came from Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. “The NFL needs us more than we need them,” said Garcetti, who added, “Both the Raiders (who are moving to Las Vegas) and the Chargers could have stayed put where they are, because Oakland and San Diego have huge fan bases.” And when asked directly about Chargers’ move to Los Angeles, Garcetti bluntly stated, “I think we could have been happy with just the Rams.”

The NFL flopped on this issue—the Chargers belong in San Diego.
