Chargers face class-action complaint over Chiefs game
The Los Angeles Chargers have not gotten off to the best start with their 2025 season ticket holders. Despite coming off the team's best season since 2018, the Chargers are facing a lawsuit after agreeing to play their opening week game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Brazil.

A group of Chargers' season ticket holders filed a class action complaint against the team due to their alleged false advertising, attorney Daniel Wallach confirmed. Fans want to sue the team for increasing season tickets by 10 percent, due to their advertising of a Week 1 home game against the Chiefs without revealing until later that the 'home' game would actually be played in São Paulo, Brazil. The team is also not allowing buyers to receive a refund after realizing the discrepancy.
Fans are functionally upset about having to pay '10 percent more than the previous season for one less game,' per Wallach. The class action complaint alleges violations of California's Consumer Legal Remedies Act, Unfair Competition Law and False Advertising Law, as well as a breach of contract.
The Chargers' initial season ticket promotion featured an image of the Chiefs' logo, but it has since been removed, according to NBC Sports' Mike Florio. It now displays the New Orleans Saints logo, whom Los Angeles plays in a preseason game on Aug. 10.

With the Chiefs game being played at a neutral site, the Chargers only have eight actual home games in 2025. They will not play at SoFi Stadium until Week 3, when they host their NFC West rivals, the Denver Broncos. Los Angeles will hit the road again the following week before returning to face the Washington Commanders in Week 5.

The Chargers' first home stand will be in Week 7 and Week 8, when they will face the Indianapolis Colts and Minnesota Vikings, respectively. After another week away, they face the Pittsburgh Steelers at home in Week 10.
Coming out of their Week 12 bye, Los Angeles will play another series of back-to-back home games against the Las Vegas Raiders and Philadelphia Eagles. The team's final home game will be in Week 17 against the Houston Texans. That game is still TBD and will not be scheduled until later in the year.
After going 11-6 in 2024, the Chargers have high expectations for the 2025 season. Fans expect Jim Harbaugh to take the team back to the playoffs in year two and potentially pick up the team's first postseason win since 2018.

The wingback had been a primary target for coach Gian Piero Gasperini even when still with Atalanta, although the negotiations dragged on for a while to get the deal over the line. It was eventually agreed that he would make the move for €25m plus €5m in add-ons after Flamengo also secured Emerson Royal from Milan as his replacement at a cost of €9m. Wesley published pictures on social media of himself at the airport with a little Italian flag, then spoke to reporters before flying out to Rome.

WATCH: Bryan Cook reels in one-handed interception at Chiefs Training Camp
The Kansas City Chiefs' defense will look to force more turnovers this season after posting middling numbers in the category last season. One player with a major opportunity to produce more interceptions is veteran safety Bryan Cook, who is set to play a major role for Kansas City after the departure of fan-favorite defensive back Justin Reid in free agency. Cook, who joined the Chiefs as a second-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft, started in 17 regular-season contests for the Chiefs next season and flashed his brilliance at one of Kansas City's training camp practice sessions this week, hauling in an impressive one-handed interception. Take a look at Cook's outstanding pick in this video, which was posted to Twitter by the Chiefs' official account: Kansas City's fans have come to expect big plays from the former Cincinnati Bearcat and can look forward to seeing more high-effort moments from Cook as training camp continues next week.

2025 MLB betting: Nick Kurtz now a massive favorite to win AL Rookie of the Year
Coming off of a historic game on Friday night in which he became the first Major League Baseball rookie to hit four home runs, the general public has been introduced to Athletics rookie first baseman Nick Kurtz. This is coming off a week where the 22-year-old Kurtz was named the AL Player of the Week. The betting market has taken notice as well. Kurtz opened up far down the odds board to win American League Rookie of the Year at BetMGM with 80-1 odds. New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez opened as the favorite at +600. It wasn't all smooth sailing for Kurtz, as Yahoo's Jordan Shusterman detailed in this article, as he went through and 0-for-21 skid in May before breaking out and becoming the best hitter in baseball in July. On June 14, Kurtz was down to 14-1 odds (tied for the second-best odds), but still a massive underdog to his Athletics teammate Jacob Wilson, who was -1000 to win the AL ROY. That equates to roughly a 90.9% chance to win the award. Even five days ago on July 21, Wilson was the +100 favorite at BetMGM and Kurtz was second at +160. Wilson had second-most wagers (11%, behind the Royals' Jac Caglionone) and by far the most money of any player at 33%. Wilson also represented the sportsbook's biggest liability on the award. But after Friday night's offensive explosion, Kurtz became the odds-on favorite for the first time all season and now has -2000 odds to win, an implied probability of 95% to win the award. It's an astonishing baseball — and betting — story, and one we'll be sure to follow throughout the rest of the season.
