The owner of the San Diego Chargers has moved the team more than two hours north and fans are not happy. Many say they are also angry with the National Football League and feel like the team has abandoned them. One life long Chargers fan took to the internet to express his anger and raise funds for a billboard campaign.
Joseph MacRae started a Go Fund Me page and raised over $10,000 that has gone to fund several ads on a digital billboard near the team’s temporary home, StubHub Center, in Carson, California.
MacRae said on his Go Fund Me page, “Have you been an NFL fan your whole life only to have your team suddenly taken away from your city? You may have been the most loyal and dedicated supporter, but it didn’t matter in the end. Have you ever wanted to tell the NFL how you actually feel? This is your chance.”
One of the messages featured in the campaign is pictured above…a photo of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell with the words, “No Freaking Loyalty.” Other ads take aim at the team’s owner, Dean Spanos. Spanos moved the team in the off season from San Diego to Los Angeles. The team now shares the StubHub Center with the Los Angeles Rams, while the Chargers wait for their new facility to be built in Inglewood, California. The digital billboard running the campaign is located near StubHub Center.
