As someone who obviously doesn’t live in California, I would like to ask a question: how long has this hatred of the 49ers been in place?
I started watching the NFL in 1985 and there didn’t appear to be anywhere near the enmity between the two franchises back then. Rivals? Yes. But respectful ones.
Did it start with the SOSAR bollocks?
Or is it like football support here in the UK, where wall-to-wall coverage and social media have combined to drive up vitriolic behaviour amongst fans?
Any answers, especially from people who have to live with Whiners fans on a daily basis, would be appreciated.
For me, it started with the SOSAR comments, ken norton jr punching the goal post after they scored, merton hanks with the chicken dance and we also had a 17 game losing streak that just got under my skin. Then you now have guys like dweebo samuel who talks trash then sits and cries after a loss instead of congratulating the Rams after he talked sh*t and lost.
