Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that The Chargers fan, Merrianne Do, who went viral Monday night and her husband are season ticket holders who rent cabana suites every season for multiple games.
At first blush, the thinking was that perhaps the person was paid by the Chargers and/or the NFL to potentially attract ESPN cameras during the game. The truth is a bit more complicated. However, it appears that Merriane Do has gotten the 15 minutes of fame she has craved for multiple years.
Between appearing on Pat McAfee’s show and talking to TMZ to landing as the Chargers’ new Twitter/X profile picture, Do is getting it done. And she apparently has been trying to do it for a while.
Someone found a picture of Do as a Vikings fan. Our guess is that it comes from the 2019 game between the Vikings and Chargers at an undersized soccer stadium in Carson.
Despite suggestions that her son plays for a team known as the Vikings, Do has admitted to TMZ that she was and is a fan of the Minnesota Vikings.
“I grew up in Minnesota before moving to California almost 20 years ago,” Do told TMZ. “I don’t think you have to be a single-team fan. I love my Chargers and I’m not gonna deny my Vikings. At the end of the day, yes, I’ve been a Vikings fan, I’ve been through that journey as a Vikings fan and still am, but I’m here in L.A. for the past 20 years.”
The problem with Boston Connor’s post isn’t that it was disproven — Do later told TMZ that she grew up in Minnesota and remains a Vikings fan, in addition to being a Chargers fan who now lives in California. It’s that it wasn’t even necessary in the first place. While Do had plenty of detractors on social media, she also had even more supporters (including yours truly), who were quick to point out that it’s totally fine for someone to have multiple favorite teams.
And that’s exactly what happened to Do, who made the media rounds on Tuesday, including stops on The Pat McAfee Show and the NFL Network. Only social media didn’t find that she had been convicted of a crime or was a paid actor (as some had theorized), but rather that she also happened to be a Minnesota Vikings fan.
Shortly after news of Do’s dual NFL fandom made the rounds, “Boston” Connor Campbell, a producer on The Pat McAfee Show, took to X (formerly Twitter) to offer an alibi. Do wasn’t actually a Minnesota fan, Campbell shared. She was just a passionate mom supporting her son’s youth football team, who happened to be named the Vikings.
