**Note that all funds raised will be donated to charity** This campaign is to raise awareness to the fact that San Diego Fans do not agree with the recent decisions made by the San Diego Chargers front office, espeacially chairman Dean Spanos. Thank you for supporting our cause.

It has come to my attention that Eric Weddle was fined by his own team, the San Diego Chargers - for watching his daughter perform in the half time show during last weeks game vs the Miami Dolphins. I as a fan, think this is a horrible fine, and should be paid back to Eric through a donation to Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County http://sdbigs.org

Lets raise the funds and show the Chargers, and Eric, that we are against this fine.

Dean Spanos has done enough damage to the San Diego Chargers Fans, lets not let him treat our All Pro Safety this way, as he comes to the end of his contract.  Eric Weddle should not be fined for being a good father.

Against Eric Weddle's wishes, the San Diego Chargers placed the 30-year-old safety on injured reserve Monday with a groin issue, ending his season and likely his nine-year career with the organization.

Rubbing salt in the wound, Weddle's agent, David Canter, revealed that the team informed Weddle on Thursday that he will be fined $10,000 for staying out during halftime of what could be San Diego's final game at Qualcomm Stadium on Dec. 20 against the Miami Dolphins to watch his daughter perform at halftime in a program sponsored by the Chargers' cheerleading squad. Weddle did not inform coaches of his plan to stay on the sideline during halftime.

Canter and Weddle were not planning to disclose the fine but decided to announce it after the Chargers told players on injured reserve this week they will not be traveling for the team's final game of the season against the Denver Broncos.

Team spokesperson Bill Johnston said the Chargers have 17 players on injured reserve, so room for all of them could be an issue. Johnston also said that in the past, players on injured reserve who requested to travel had not been turned down.
