My reason for disliking the Chargers goes way back to my high school years as football player. I was very close to my high school coach, Earl Faison, who was a mentor to me.
He was a former Charger and was treated very badly by the organization as a player. There were many great individual players for the Chargers, but I despise the business side of their team.
He should be in the Hall of Fame.

from asking around down there,have you found ANY friends who go down to LA and support them?
I have a couple of friends that live there and BOTH of them told me they each asked about 20 or 30 charger fans they know that are aquinatances or friends of there and almost all of them do the same thing they have done,they all have abondoned them as well. they said they only talked to TWO people they knew that goes down there to LA to support them. when I was down there a year ago i did a similair survey and asked people at bars if they still watched them and almost ALL of them said no.that
Out of my entire circle of friends that are from San Diego, even another former player not one goes to see them.
Of course, now I'm forced to follow them, because I'm a Chiefs fan. And the Chargers are in their way.
You're a chief fan? really? how long have you been one? thats funny you sat that cause i have always rooted against the chiefs almost my whole life cause i hated the owner of the team,a real A hole and they almost always never had a coach i liked either and i have always loved the chargers,never missed them in SD when the chiefs played them so i always loved it when they lost to the chargers. I got nothing against andy reid though and their original owner is dead burning in hell right now so i dont hate them now as i always used to. for the first time in my life starting last year,I root for the chiefs to beat the chargers now as well.i cannot freaking believe they blew that game to them. they got no secondary now cause of injurys so i am afraid the chargers are in the drivers seat in the AFC to go to the superbowl.
Been a Chiefs fan since boyhood since the days of Len Dawson. Became even a bigger follower when Marcus Allen joined them. He attended the same high school as me and grew up in the neighborhood.
I knew going into the last game between the Chiefs and Chargers that it would be down to the wire. The Chiefs always hit a rough spot late in the season. And can't seem to finish strong. And with such a suspect defense, they are always in position to blow a game.
only time i ever liked the chiefs was when they had joe montana. I was hoping he would get one for the thumb. wasnt around when Dawson was playing but I am sure i would have liked THOSE chiefs as well.thats was a much more innocent time when the game was not corrupt as it is now. i have seen the old footgage of hank stram wearing a suit and tie on the sidelines. oh man i am sure those were some fun times for you? chiefs fans i know that were around then they LOVED those days.
The old AFL was really exciting. They had some great teams back then. The Chiefs had a killer defense. Guys like Willie Lanier, Buck Buchanan. Bobby Bell, Jim Lynch were are fun to watch.
