Chargers Roasted for Their Social Media Tribute to Viral Fan From ‘MNF’ Loss to Cowboys

In this story:
The Los Angeles Chargers suffered a tough defeat at home Monday when they lost to the Dallas Cowboys, 20-17.
Then on Tuesday morning, they seemed to suffer another defeat, but this time it happened on social media.
In case you missed it, a Chargers fan went viral during Monday night’s game. ESPN cameras showed her going through all the emotions during a fourth-quarter TD by Los Angeles that tied up the game and then she was seen looking very sad after Justin Herbert threw an interception in the final minutes to seal the loss.
Here’s how it went down during the broadcast:

Chargers are the epitome of society in 2023. They “own” social media to hide how broken they are inside https://t.co/zgXOKwNPyM
