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.

Pivetta's dominant outing and Merrill's clutch hit propel Padres to sixth straight win
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Nick Pivetta gave up one hit and one run in seven innings, Jackson Merrill drove in two runs, and the San Diego Padres won their sixth game in a row, 4-1 over the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night. Pivetta (11-3) struck out five and did not give up a walk. His only blemish was a solo homer by Willson Contreras in the fifth that gave the Cardinals a 1-0 lead. San Diego answered with four runs in the bottom of the fifth in large part to two errors that led to three unearned runs. With Jake Cronenworth at first and one out, Jose Iglesias hit a slow grounder to third baseman Nolan Gorman, whose wide throw hit first baseman Contreras' glove and rolled away. Cronenworth went to third and scored when Contreras' throw to Gorman skipped away. Elias Díaz singled in Iglesias and four batters later, Merrill hit a two-out single up the middle against Matt Svanson. Robert Suarez notched his major league-best 31st save with a scoreless ninth. Cardinals starter Matthew Liberatore (6-9) pitched 4 1/3 innings, giving up four hits and four runs (one earned). Key moment Padres reliever Mason Miller, acquired at the trade deadline on Thursday from the Athletics, trotted in from the bullpen in the eighth inning to roaring applause from the soldout Petco Park crowd for his first appearance with San Diego. Miller got Yohel Pozo to ground into a double play with one out and runners at the corners to get out of the inning unscathed. Key stat The Cardinals have lost five of their last six games. In those five loses, St. Louis has scored a combined four runs. Up next The Cardinals' RHP Michael McGreevy (2-2, 4.91 ERA) takes the hill in game two of the series Saturday night versus Padres' RHP Randy Vásquez (3-4, 3.65). ___ AP MLB:

Lakers have revealed their 2025-26 City Edition jerseys
The Los Angeles Lakers have one of the most iconic uniform designs in all of sports. The design has seen some tweaks over the years, but it has largely remained the same, generally speaking, for over 50 years. Every team has four uniforms it can wear, which include the City Edition uniforms. The Lakers' City Edition uniforms for the 2024-25 season weren't well regarded, and they played so poorly in them that they stopped wearing them around midseason. This coming season, the Lakers will be recycling their City Edition uniforms from the 2023-24 campaign, per the team's official X (formerly Twitter) account. When this design was first unveiled two years ago, plenty thought it was at least somewhat uninspired and even boring. The fact that the team is simply using it again instead of coming up with a new one has led to fans expressing their disappointment. On a brighter note, the Lakers' Statement Edition uniforms have been improved. The black stripe down the sides that they had has been removed, and the team's wordmark and the player numbers are now in white with gold trim. Now, if only L.A.'s Icon Edition uniforms would go with gold instead of yellow as their primary color, the team's fans would likely be happy enough with its on-court threads.
