LA Chargers just seems to me like it's going to take longer to get used compared to other times team names have changed.

Maybe because San Diego is embedded in our minds combined with the fact we still have LA Rams...

I like how their abbreviation is LAC, like the LA Clippers. It will be interesting to see if the Rams will be more popular there than the Chargers, since they've already been in town for 1 year. Probably whichever one makes the playoffs first will win the majority of fans

I'm not even gonna make any attempt whatsoever to call them "LA Chargers" bcuz I already know I won't be able to accomplish that soon, flawlessly. So I think you're right: 'Its the Worst Ever. Re: switching over." If I catch ANY Flak about still calling them SD I'll just consider that criticizer to be Anal-Retentive and I will not care. I encourage everyone to call them whateverz most convenient for you, whateverz easiest for you, the least hassle.

They don't even play in "LA" anyways, they play in a Soccer Stadium in CARSON.
