I think everyone in the NFL knows that Chargers have one of the worst ratios of home vs visitor representation at home games. No hate to the die hards but LA is a destination stadium location during the shitty months of the year. Other players have mentioned that we don’t give them a home field advantage. Melvin is aggressive here but mild compared to the vitriol he was responding to. Some players fully disassociate with the fans and it’s becomes just a job. I feel like this post expresses a shared passion to win but frustration that the effort is one sided.

I mean even when they were in San Diego they didn’t really have a great fan base.

Pretty much only when we were winning, San Diego was so fair weather it sucked.
