Flipping off San Diego Chargers’ fans is legal, judge rules

Kansas City Chiefs fans, take note: When traveling to San Diego to root for your team against the Chargers, feel free to let your middle fingers fly. It’s completely legal. Truly, this is a landmark victory for constitutionally protected buffoonery.

The California court battle began way back in November 2009, when Chiefs’ fan Jason Ensign was detained by security guards after flipping off Chargers’ fans in Qualcomm Stadium.

Ensign fought the charges, saying his bird-flipping was protected speech, and a city ordinance couldn’t stifle him. This week, a judge agreed with him.
