The fact that they're still called the San Francisco 49ers verges on parody at this point

In fact, only one team in the NFC West actually plays in the city it's named after! Hmmmmm

I think a lot of those were the result of owners chasing new stadiums and fleeing to the suburbs for lower taxes or whatever

It loving pisses me off to no end and I live like 5 miles from the stadium now and can walk from my DC parking lot to it. gently caress the York’s for many reasons but especially for moving the team. When the Super Bowl and NCAA Championship game we’re here and they did all the b roll of the city and like the event stuff was all in the city it really loving bothered me. The loving patriots play closer to Boston than the niners do to the city.

Who decided to piss on all their fans and heritage and history. My family had season tickets dating back to loving Kezar and the fact they wanted $10k-$20k in new personal seat licenses just to have the privilege to buy season tickets at the new stadium and the audacity to try and charge thousands for taking your old seat out of candlestick was too loving far.

I was salty about Santa Clara for a bit. Then I realized that in the broader scheme of things, San Jose doesn't loving exist, and the rest of the Penninsula exists only to connect San Francisco to California. The price hike might have shifted the season ticket holder demographics, but changing where they play did not. Other than complicating my transit options anyway.

I have never cared in the slightest where the stadium is because I grew up 70 miles from Candlestick and attending games in person was extremely rare. It’s the local team and San Francisco is a better regional name than “Golden State” or whatever municipality you technically happen to be in in the Peninsula or South Bay.

Big welp on missing out on Clowney. Here's hoping one of the rookies is secretly a great pass rusher, like how they kept Will Dissly under the radar his rookie year (and also the secret pass rusher is sturdier than Dissly).

In happier news, they're replaying Super Bowl XLVIII tonight on Q13Fox @ 7 PM. Looking forward to watching Kam Chancellor obliterate Demaryius Thomas again.

I have been to one game at Levi’s and that thing is in the blandest possible place in this country. Bakersfield would have more character than whatever “Santa Clara” actually is. Whatever who cares! I don’t give a poo poo!

Levi’s is also hot as hell in the day time. I’ve only been to college games at night in December which makes it a lot more bearable.

Only took 7 years for the media to acknowledge the problem (this is from Aug 28th The Athletic). Jed might get around to doing something about it in another 7!
