Why The San Diego Voters rejected Measure C - The New Charger Stadium..2016

Why The San Diego Voters rejected Measure C - The New Charger Stadium..2016..

     Well , First of all I want to thank everyone that came out to vote , for whatever you believed in? For me,, if you vote you are entitle to opinions, but if you don't , you still have that right, But it means more when your part of the process.. 
   Now the vote went round 60% to 40 % .. 60% of the Voters saying No, to the down town site.. I get it.. people.. WE the people , the fans are tiring of being threatened being played, being used and abused. Our emotions have been played with , toyed with, its like a girl friend or wife saying its over but she's waiting on that better prospect to work out or waiting to see if you make it or break it.. For the jilted lover, its all about pride and all about why should a billionaire get a new arena , when he has annoyed us,played with us and down right disrespected our pride and emotions. Thats one thing San Diegans are ,, stubborn and proud. I mean despite the heart aches and pains and disappointments the team has given us.. Like drug addicts , we keep coming back.. I mean. Its tough to walk away. they always get us.. They play good enough to lose and goon enough to get upsets over good teams and every once in awhile have a solid team for a few years. The Air Coryell Years , The Boss Ross Years and hen The Marty / Norv years.. But now we have the Mcoy Years.. Playoffs in his rookie year then losing years the past two years. watching the Chargers go from Contenders to pretenders has been painful.. 
   But the most painful thing is having a owner say its over then stay another year only to find out the people of san Diego are tired of your games.. If you want to leave,, Then Leave.. At least LA decided on their team and Vegas made a move for the Raiders.. The fans have spoken.. we want the team to stay but we also want the owner to make more of a commitment. I know , you cant expect owners to fill the whole bill.. But when the Chargers ...got a free ride with the ticket guarantee,,(tax payers money$$) you guys remember when the city of San Diego would buy up the remaining tickets to get a sell out so games could be shown on tv..That's free money for the spanos family, I get it. the fans and people are frsutrated with the team and their threats.. Its time .. for something to happen. Like build the stadium at the original site,, I know the Down town site is sexy ,but it would be a traffic night mare on game days..especially ,monday or thursday night games.. Its kind of sad the city and the chargers are at odds with this issue, and if or when the chargers leave.. its really leaving a bad taste for fans. I know as a fan its so frustrating to hear all the media talk about how the fans are fair weather and how they don't care for the team.. They are so wrong I have attended many games at the Murph.. Once Called jack Murphy Stadium ,, named after one of the greatest sports writers in San Diego sports history.. The fans are loyal.. I mean the energy this city had when they first went to the big game and during the JR SEAU AND LT eras.. the energy was electric.. ,man.. those days seem so distant now. time flies.. and whats getting to the fans is the lack of true committment to winning.. 

  For example.. Letting or letting go of Bobby the Boss Ross.. the only charger coach to go to the SUPER BOWL.. sure they lost,, but who didn't lose the mighty 49ers.. Then years later fire a 14-2 Coach.. ?? only time in history.. and then they keep a coach in jeopardy of being 4-12 , two season in a row.. they are 4-6 right now.. more trending down. they lost Brandon Mebane, and have lost Manti teo. Keenan Allen Danny Woodhead, Brandon Oliver and Jaleel Addae as well as Jason Verret. Its a casualty list to hard to overcome..Can you imagine how great this offense would be with Allen , Woodhead and Oliver as well as Verret and Addae.. on defense.. but that the name of the game next man up.. 
  But I feel the fans are just fed up with the mismanagement  of the team, the personality issues , the money choices , getting rid of clutch kickers like Novak and scifre without a fair try out.. We all know it was done to save money. well you get what you pay for.. which is a another losing season.. I mean.. The Chargers could go a 6 game winning streak, doubt it.. They still have Games against Raiders ,Bucs and Chiefs at home with remaining road games with Texans , Browns and Panthers.. I see moe like finishing 4-2 ,, winning the home games and losing to the Panthers and or texans on the road. which would give the chargers a 8-8 record another losing record in my book recall, because they finished last they played a last place schedule..improving by four games is not a success in my book. Like I said the fans have spoken, enough of the bull shit talk, enough of the threats of leaving, if you want to go,, then freaking go already. if you want to build it, then freaking pay for it.. The Spanos family has fleeced the city with enough demands.. Its funny how the chargers say, we will not say anything until the end of the season.. hmm. 
  My take. because LA RAMS already took the LA market and the Raiders are hooked up in Vegas.. Yes the chargers could move to LA. but they wont sell out ,, or even do well,,, I would bet on that. Sure they are fans in Riverside and Orange county and LA, but not enough to fill a new venue.. Thats why they are not saying shit!! everything they counted on back fired, the team work with the rams or raiders fell through.. if anything I think the chargers are pissed they didn't think of vegas,, but then again, I don't think Vegas even considered the Chargers and I don't blame them.. ? I mean the raiders right now are a better team. they have beaten the chargers like a old rug the past few years and they are set for the future with their young studs.. The chargers have young talent.. but their core players are ancient , Rivers , gates, Slauson.. all in their 30's.. and above.. Ok..
 Final thoughts. The people of san Diego deserve better than this They deserve a owner that cares about winning , not cutting player and coaches that demand higher salaries.like I said you get what you pay for.. The chargers are a very good team with limited resources , with coaching , with training facilities and a old ancient stadium.. that holds many memories of great teams that could of done things,, if only the owners had more patience. with their Coaches and player demands.. but its all good. LA did well for over 20 years with no PRO FOOTBALL TEAM.. and the people of san Diego will be ok.. if their beloved team leaves.. Its a sad commentary but as a lifelong charger fan.. I know the pain.. the misery , and the rumbling bumbling decisions,, only San Diego makes,, Like drafting Ryan Leaf over Manning, or Ryan Mathew's .. over a defense player or linemen.. Or letting the best safety in charger history to walk, same with LT.. to be honest I hate management for doing those things,, I love the Chargers and the players , but I don't like the owners and management team.. but because its clear everything they do is money driven and personal,, because only a fool fires a winning 14-2 coach with a loaded roster , only a idiot lets a SUPER BOWL CONTENDING coach go.. or giving up on a Hall famer like Drew Brees , Rodney Harrison, LT , JR. SEAU.. only the chargers ,, a curse? More like a management team who are clueless. Like I said I truly understand the San Diego voters feelings.. enough is enough,, If the chargers are going to stay work with the city,,, if not , then take your punk ass attitude to another city and Good Luck, because your disrepect , your greed and lack of interest for the loyal fans is well documented.. LA , LAS VEGAS.. MEXICO , LONDON.. GOOD look those places. because though the chargers are entertaining, your all in store for years of disappointments, missed opportunities and bogus decisions.. I know this may offend alot of the fans,, but I have been through all of it and after living it.. Maybe a change is for the best,, and if the Chargers go on to win the big game . Like the Rams did moving to ST Louis,, or The Browns moving to Baltimore.then so be it.. !! But for now.. I applaud the San Diego Voters for having said their points and saying ,, Take it or leave. We are done been played with.. Its your move Spanos family and to be honest. I don't see many more moves in your favor.. As for charger fans , keep cheering , because they ARE  fun to watch , even though they are hard to understand??
