A guy who knows a thing or two about bitter disappointment in his personal life thanks to someone who didn’t exist is now faced with the very real prospect of his employer moving to a new city. Chargers linebacker Manti Te’o isn’t looking forward to that.

“Man, it’s going to suck,” Te’o said Monday of a potential move to Los Angeles, via Bryce Miller of the San Diego Union-Tribune. “I’m not going to lie.”

But he’s not referring to the notion that a football team that has called San Diego home for more than half of a century will be ripped away. He’s talking about his own personal convenience.

“It’s a place that you’ve grown to love, that you’re comfortable with,” Te’o said. “You have your favorite restaurants you go to, your favorite hangout spots . . . you’re comfortable here. Change is always hard.”

But plenty of players change cities, either because they want to or because they have to. It’s been 20 years since a fan base has lost an NFL team. Regardless of who’s to blame, the prospect of San Diegans losing their Chargers is the main reason this sucks.

The fact that Te’o may have to find a new apartment and a new favorite restaurant and rely on GPS to get around for a few weeks falls a lot farther down the list.
