Column: Courtney Hall, center on Chargers Super Bowl team, joins a presidential campaign

Courtney Hall is still sticking his neck out, while knowing the hits are coming.

Twenty-five years since he played center in the Super Bowl — for the lone San Diego team to get that far — the 51-year-old Hall is plunging into the mosh pit that’s U.S. national politics.

The former Chargers center and captain said he’s joined the campaign of Michael R. Bloomberg, a presidential candidate.

Wait a minute.

Hall is a longtime Republican.

Bloomberg is a Democrat.

“Go figure, right?” Hall said by phone this week. “Go figure.”

Hall said he still respects certain red-team policies, and praised GOP leaders such as the late John McCain and Sen.
