“I wish I was getting paid! But this is me guys, a crazy mom of four, crazy Chargers fan and a crazy football fan,” she said. “All the moms text me asking ‘Why are people saying you are a fake? This is how you are!’ I guess my poor kids have to deal with this every day but now, it is crazy that the world thinks this is different because my kids have dealt with this in their lives.”

Merrianne continued, “I wear my heart on my sleeve and I’m intense in everything I do. I’ve been a football fan for as long as I can remember and I’m passionate about it. I was excited, I was elated, my heart was just bursting. I’ve been a Chargers fan ever since I moved to California over 20 years ago.”
