I just can't imagine the "Santa Clara 49'ers." I mean, Santa Clara is a sweet, quiet city name and 49'ers brings to mind tough, muddy real men gold miners. (I feel like I'm making a George Carlin rant.)
I doubt there is a rough and tumble football team name that could go with "Santa Clara."
I am sure that Di-Fi is a HUGE fan. I am sure she is as big a fan of the Niners as John Kerry is of the Green Bay Packers.
The city would demand that the new stadium have only meatless hotdogs and beer brewed by the indiginous peoples of the Andes. Homeless cots would be available for all home games along with people of color getting all the lower seats. Corporate Fat Cats and “Mr. Charlie” would be forced into the upper decks so he can “feel what its like to be oppressed”.
Other than those demands, they can build any kind of stadium they want! Oh yea, no animals can be harmed in its building and no teams with mascots that cause “an uncomfortble feeling” will be allowed”.
To me, the 49’s conjures up thoughts of San Francisco...a mostly deranged freak show composed of the left of the left who hate America first.
Just because they move doesn’t mean the name will change. There’s plenty of teams, especially football teams with their larger stadiums, that don’t actually play in the city of their name. Heck the New York football teams don’t even play in the same STATE as their name.
When I think of San Francisco 49’ers, I get sick, all the liberal law breakers, illegal gay marriages, cocaine snorting mayor, not to mention he is an adulterer. I think they should move.
