On Thursday, the NFL announced that it was moving Monday’s Minnesota Vikings vs Los Angeles Rams NFL playoff game from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, “in the interest of public safety” because of the wildfires in California.
But some people on social media were not happy with the decision to move the game to the Arizona Cardinals‘ home stadium.
Why? Because of the sponsor of the stadium, State Farm.
Last summer, more than 1,600 policies for homeowners in Pacific Palisades, California, one of the areas affected by fires in California, were dropped by State Farm, the insurance company, according to reports from USA TODAY and others.
