Melvin Gordon Says He's Ready For A Season With No Fans Because Nobody Ever Went To Chargers Games

[Source] - "Bro, we didn't have fans anyway," Gordon said while laughing. "We didn't have many Chargers fans at the game, I'm just going to be honest. We didn't have many Chargers fans at the game. Much loyalty, love, but we didn't have many. So I'm not missing anything."

I fucking love backhanded compliments like this. Much loyalty, much love, but y'all didn't come to one game. I'm so ready to play in front of zero fans because of you so thank you. It's not like Gordon is wrong either. The Rams and Chargers just didn't draw fans. Part of it is LA, part of it is various other reasons, but their home games weren't exactly home games. I'll never forget the Rams/Cowboys game where there were more Cowboy fans in LA than Rams. 

It's a shame that people don't want to come to Chargers games. Their uniforms alone should draw in thousands of people to watch them play. They are that gorgeous.

It's gotta be weird for a guy like Gordon to go from Wisconsin where fans pack Camp Randall every fucking game to the Chargers where they played in a soccer stadium for a couple of seasons that had like 27,000 fans. Sure, the weather is something you could talk about, but that's gotta be the weirdest thing for someone like Gordon. This is what he was used to for a few years

Give me more quotes like this though. I want athletes to call shit out and give real quotes. I've said it so many times that's all I want with interviews. No more canned answers.
