The Name Behind The San Diego Chargers

When Benjamin Franklin made that risk to tie that kite and try to capture the charge brought about by lightning, it brought about a revolution to our lives. Indeed, “charging” and electricity has driven progress to our society. From all of our household appliances to the driver of the massive machines in factories and warehouses, the charge produced by electricity enables us to automate these processes necessary in the continuous improvement in our lives.

And if electricity is not the only way to emphasize the power of the word charge, then think credit cards. As long as it is within the credit limit of one’s account, you can simply “charge” it and go buy away! We can just keep on “charging” it and until we are finally satisfied. Indeed with this form of charging, we are “In Charge”. This now not only shows that the word “Charge” just means power, but authority as well. Simply put, whoever has the power of “charge” has the power. And in order to once again obtain that power, one would have to “recharge”. They simply all do tie up and make perfect sense.

It is no debate that the word charge literally brings about power and authority. And what a better way to name your Professional Football team than what the San Diego based team did but name their franchise as the San Diego Chargers. This team, being part of the bigger California, originally started to play under Los Angeles. After their first season though, they already then moved to San Diego. They won their first title in the AFL. Ever since the merge of the AFL and the NFL, they have then shown that they have something to show. As of 2006, they have made ten trips to the playoffs and four appearances in the AFC Championship Games. The team does continue to strive in order further improve their game with hopes of some day winning a Super Bowl. As for California, it is home to various highly competitive Football Teams. Whether it be San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles, or Oakland, it is without a doubt that the “Cali Life” highly supports football. It is no surprise that College movies exhibiting California as the base location shows the relaxed flow with kids at the very least running that pig skin and throwing it around. Indeed football is not just a sport, but a lifestyle as well.

So the next time you open your television set, try watching the sports channel. It is for sure that every team would have their very own logo that would very much match the name of their teams. When you see that yellowish thunderbolt rapped around the sides of the players helmets, that would be the San Diego Chargers you are watching for sure. It would be interesting to see how this team would continue, as mentioned a while ago, being part of California, this area embraces football. So go ahead, go for that great big charge!
