First and foremost, we'd like to mention that the Los Angeles Chargers actually spent a total of 56 years in San Diego before being ripped from the city and relocated to Hollywood in 2017. Which makes this guy's sign all the more amusing and why the Chargers have such a poor fan base ranking, to begin with. The Chargers are a football franchise that glides under the radar for most casual NFL fans mainly due to the team's weak public perception. Year in and year out, the Chargers find themselves in the playoffs but, can never make it over the hump to get in the Super Bowl conversation.
Not to mention, Dean Spanos is despised by most San Diegans today, the team plays in one of the smallest stadiums in the league in the Dignity Health Sports Park that only seats 27,000 patrons while their LA neighbors in the Rams play in the cozier LA Coliseum that seats over 78,000 fans. We're not sure what the Chargers have to do to grow their fan base but, we suggest winning a Super Bowl might be a good start to support the team's overall fan engagement with the franchise. The Los Angeles Chargers are ranked 26th in fan equity, 26th in social equity, and 16th in road equity.

One of the cities featured in Booking.com’s travel trends for 2020, Urugay’s capital Montevideo is a stable and LGBT-friendly destination to visit in South America—a continent that’s seen dips in tourism of late thanks to political instability in travel destinations like Brazil, Chile, and Argentina. Travelers identified the city as a trending travel destination for anyone seeking an immersive, one-stop escape; according to the study, “over half (54 percent) of global travelers say they want to go on one long trip to a place that has all of their favorite activities and sights close together.” Montevideo’s offerings include beaches, nightlife, markets, theaters, culinary prowess, and festive Gay Pride Day celebrations in September.
