The case for Melvin Gordon to stay in Los Angeles

It has been turmoil on Chargers Twitter since the news first broke Thursday morning that Gordon, one of the team’s top players, demanded an extension or a trade before training camp, or he wouldn’t show up.

Gordon was going to play 2019 in the fifth and last year of his rookie deal, and his potential extension was already a topic of discussion.

Flash, as he has been nicknamed since his college days, is one of the most beloved players on the team. But the event was quick to change people’s perceptions and opinions.

As can be seen, fan opinion quickly changed, and social media has seen a lot of Chargers fans support the trade alternative.
