Times are tough for any of those people out there who are fans of the San Diego Chargers. Not only did the team suck ass this season, going just 4-12 and ending up with the No. 3 overall pick in this year’s draft, but the uncertainty about the team’s possible relocation has been a fucking PR nightmare and headache for everyone.
While the improvement of the team will take time, the whole relocation thing may have gotten a little clearer, as the Chargers changed their Snapchat logo, blatantly removing the words “San Diego” from it—and fans are piping hot about it.
Here’s the old logo:
And here’s the new logo:
And here are some of the reactions on Twitter to the team making such a move, which, in no way can anyone say this was a smart move given the team’s muddling situation about where they’ll be playing next season.

Chargers say social media logo alteration was for aesthetics and has nothing to do with possible move. Then just bad timing. BAD. Terrible.

It's not bad timing, it's stupid timing. It's not self-aware. It'd be surprising if it weren't downright malicious. https://t.co/zufPohH9be

Hey @chargers, why the ghost 4 twitter? Are you about to disappear on San Diego or you still trying to scare us with talk of moving 2 LA?

How about the Chargers taking San Diego off of their snapchat?
They want out of SD so damn bad.— Chris 'B&W Tier-1' McDaniel (@From619to425) January 27, 2016
So Chargers change their snapchat from "San Diego Chargers" to "Chargers." Yeah, they're staying.

It may have been a subtle subtraction—and who knows if this actually means a fucking thing in terms of their future plans—but Chargers fans feel like they’re getting jacked around by the team with the change.
