Oh what an offseason it has been for the San Diego Chargers. There have been no coaching swaps. There have been no massive trades. The biggest story to come out of San Diego as it pertains to the Chargers was likely the burning of Merriman’s car. The only problem the Bolts have had so far with any holdouts has been an issue with one only partially disgruntled special teams player. In short, the Chargers have managed to have one of the quietest offseasons not just of this year, but of any team in recent memory. As such, we are treated to some very off-beat sports stories.
This story about the Chargers being wrongfully linked to a certain local political candidate really made me chuckle. First of all, I find the idea that any team or organization in professional sports can back one candidate. Is that even possible? I’m sure from person to person inside every locker room (not to mention staff and front office executives) the political viewpoints differ, sometimes greatly. Either way, the fact remains that somehow the Chargers found themselves caught in the political crossfire this offseason. It’s been their biggest scandal so far (knock on wood).
