After Myles Garrett Trade to Rams, Dodgers' Dave Roberts Says 'I Used to Be a Chargers Fan' on Video

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts ditched his Los Angeles Chargers fandom in the name of diplomacy.

Roberts, who grew up around San Diego, told reporters Saturday he "used to be a Chargers fan," but he has "no allegiance anymore" because L.A. residents are "sensitive" about which team you follow:

Roberts' NFL loyalties came up because the Dodgers welcomed seven-time Pro Bowler Myles Garrett for Saturday's game. The newly acquired Los Angeles Rams star threw out the first pitch.

For a lot of people in Southern California, the Chargers' relocation from San Diego to Los Angeles in 2017 was enough to ditch the franchise for good. Their on-field fortunes in relation to the Rams has only made it more difficult to keep supporting them.

While it doesn't appear Roberts totally jumped ship from one L.A. team to the other, lessening your emotional investment in the Chargers has historically been a smart call.
