MLB has about 25% foreign-born players, with very few from Mexico. And MLB has less than 10% blacks. Those are the reasons MLB will outlast the NFL.
They still USED to come out early in the season, esp. in good weather, as it was last night.
The BLACK uniforms are all capitulations by the owners to BLACK POWER.
There was an NFL game last night? Who knew?
I think they are called "color forward" unis, which Emperor Roger has mandated for teams playing on NFL Thursday night games. To me, it looked like a team of bumblebees playing a team of cockroaches out there.
Of course, the bottom line here is that they can get more NFL fanboys to buy lots of these "alternate" uniforms for lots of NFL money.
I watched it b/c I love football, but my enthusiasm for the league has gone down the tubes. The same tubes that half the people in SF seem to have gone down. Maybe a free Cadillac to one lucky former fan every game could bring them back.
I watched for a few minutes just to see the crowd size.
Noticed right away the cameras are avoiding shots of the crowd.
The NFL are a bunch of cowards.
Let them rot.
This insubordination by ticket holders who stay home must stop. Don’t they know they are disrespecting the greatest entity ever created? I’d suggest fining no shows.
Follow the link in this article. This is one of many shots throughout the game. Attendance was pathetic at best.
That pic was taken during the second quarter. That indicates the game was well under way. By that time, under normal times, the stadium would be packed. They shot is telling. Fans are turning on them, a five time Super Bowl winner. It all started with Colin and his act. This is week three. What will Levi’s Stadium look like around weeks nine, ten, eleven and further. The only team I watch is the Dallas Cowboys. At least they all stand for the anthem. They do it or they’ll be looking for alternative employment.
It all started with Colin and his act.
The Niners decline started with their move away from SF and their older game attending fan base dying off, IMO. Younger folks just watch everything on TV or phone. The corporate crowd will only take the NFL so far and now they are learning that lesson.
They’re sports. Your made up definition is silly, and studiously ignores the CTE study.
"But Hane has been a real bitch".
Yep.
Likewise ... unless I have other things that I need to be doing.
Don’t forget the food & refreshments. If the crowd size is down...so are sales of the overpriced chug-a-brews and smoky brats....and hats, t-shirts, etc.
Joe Montana and Steve Young were a long time ago.
This is MY house!
The GOOD NEWS is that maybe — JUST MAYBE — the American people are finally weaning themselves from the “Bread and circuses” mentality that destroyed Rome and many other civilizations and will start paying more attention to the IMPORTANT stuff. You know, like how we’re being betrayed and ROBBED by the feckless politicians and their Deep State handmaidens.
It's due to their "Toxic Patriotism" according to the comments under the Deadspin article.
