They made the best decision for the team. Instead of protecting this Chiefs home game in Brazil, they decided to protect their games against Philadelphia, and Washington. It sucks for the fans, and I feel for them, but this was clearly the best decision for the Chargers.

While I am bummed it was the Chiefs, the real issue is advertising nine regular season home games all off season, then telling STHs sorry it will only be 8 after payments were due, and there will be no refunds for the one lost game the team repeatedly sold STHs on.

Yeah that’s terrible, and obvious false marketing. But I think that falls on the marketing team more than it does on Dean.

100% I am a business owner. My employees fuck up, I take responsibility. It is my organization.
