So it looks like that Los Angeles Chargers kickoff event in Inglewood was a lot more exciting than I initially thought it would be. Honestly, I was pretty sure the big takeaway would be that a small group of LA Chargers fans actually exist, but things turned up in a big way when “SD Sign Guy,” Joseph McCrae, torpedoed Dean Spanos’ speech by throwing a jersey and dishing out double middle fingers.
As you can see below, McCrae even comes close to getting into a fight with a newly minted Chargers fan after voicing his displeasure:

Another viewpoint of McCrae going off before eventually getting escorted out:

McCrae told Fox 5 San Diego’s Jordan Whitley he was giving San Diego the voice they deserved:

As an LA guy, it’s safe to say I already love the Chargers more than the Rams. It’s only been a week and they’ve already managed to shit the bed on a logo and kickoff event.
Yo, new Chargers fan — you might want to remove the tags on your jersey:
