Since football season is back… little story: I was a big-time #NFL fan and followed the #Chargers as they were my local team (grew up in the Inland Empire between Los Angeles and San Diego). As a “Make-A-Wish” kid, there were some wealthy fans that would invite us to their luxury suites to watch the game.

But, as an adult, when the team left San Diego, it was a huge betrayal. I tossed my coats, shirts, jerseys, etc., into the trash. I basically enjoy a couple of things with the NFL now: the 49ers and Patriots losing. Honestly, enjoying a negative isn’t enough to maintain a fan. I’ll watch the Super Bowl if someone invites me to a party. But otherwise, I’m at best a passive follower of the sport nowadays.
