The San Diego Chargers are Pussies

Forgive the non-baseball post, but I found this amusing: the San Diego Chargers are trying to limit attendance at this Sunday’s playoff game to home fans only by automatically canceling any orders placed online to credit cards whose billing addresses are not located in Southern California. The Chargers join the Bears as the only teams with this policy for the playoffs.

In other words, Chargers fans are so weak and Patriots fans so intimidating that the Chargers felt the need to stack the deck in favor of their team to give them a better chance to win and they did so in the only legal way possible. Whether or not this tactic will work is a better question – Red Sox Nation has some big overlap in Patriot fan territory and I’m pretty sure there’s a big contingent of Sox fans in Southern California, plenty able to buy tickets.
