Charger Fans are Idiots

My take on Shawn Merriman...and even the late Ken Caminiti.

Okay, that's a weird title. I mean, I'm a Charger fan. And, there are lots of idiots in the world. Hell, I just read about a guy that shot one of those traffic light cameras and got arrested for it. The craziest thing was, he didn't even get a ticket for running a red!

Charger fans complained so much when the Chargers lost a playoff game, and the other team did the Shawn Merriman dance at the 50 yard line. LaDanian Tomlinson, the best (and one of the classiest) guys in the league cried about it. He said that was disrespectful.

Well, how about going to your own teammate, and telling him that it's not respectful to do that dance when you get a sack. And, how bizarre is it to even be doing these things, when your team is underachieving this year?

And, for all of you that say that's a part of sports, well...you've never really played sports. You don't know the first thing about good sportsmanship, or being on the receiving end of something like that.

The funniest thing is, you can listen to Charger fans complain about a Randy Moss or Terrell Owens do something stupid. Yet, they don't acknowledge when a Charger does.

Similar to when Padre fans love throwing syringes on the field when Barry Bonds was here (which was kind of funny), yet...I wondered...why these same fans never threw any out when Ken Caminiti was winning an MVP here for the Padres.
