A Los Angeles Chargers fan’s wild reaction to her team against the Dallas Cowboys went viral online and sparked theories about whether she was a real fan and not a paid actor.
It would be seen cleared up that she was a season ticket holder, but then the conversation would shift again as a photo would soon surface showing the lady rocking Minnesota Vikings gear.
That is now being cleared up as the reason for the picture was revealed to stop the masses from attacking a woman who was simply trying to have a good time.
The woman’s name is Merianne Do and she became a viral sensation as ESPN cameras focused on her and her reactions several times during or after some key moments.
The Chargers even paid tribute to Do by changing their social media profile picture to Do’s reaction to their 20-17 loss. On top of all that, Do joined “The Pat McAfee Show” Tuesday morning to reflect on her unexpected fame.

Her newfound fame made it possible for everybody to ignore how bad the Chargers offense was and how they fell to 2-3 on the year where they are now in third place in the AFC West.
The team is just a few months removed from the third-largest comeback in NFL postseason history. The Jacksonville Jaguars came back from down 27-0 to defeat the Los Angeles Chargers on Super Wild Card Weekend, 31-30 back in January.
