When the Chargers lost to New England in last year’s NFL playoffs, some people termed it "devastating."
When Kansas City upset the Chargers earlier this season, some called it "devastating."
When San Diego State dominated New Mexico last Saturday but lost in the final few seconds, that was also called "devastating" by some.
Let’s get one thing straight: Losing a sporting event is not devastating. Losing your home is.
As the devastating fires continue throughout San Diego County, more than 500,000 people have been displaced from their homes. By the time it is all said and done, thousands will sadly have lost their homes.
That’s devastating.
Sports are only a diversion. The next time a San Diego team loses a key game (which happens far too often), think of it as being "too bad."
The devastation from losing homes and personal possessions far outweighs anything that ever happens in the sporting arena.
Be safe; and continue to hope and pray that the fire situation here gets better, before it gets worse.
