The 49ers have pulled the wool over your eyes with their awww shucks appeal. Here's the reality.
That fan base is just as spoiled as Boston but without the trash cockiness. The 49ers dominated the Montana era, then the giants were in a world series every other year, then the warriors. That hasn't stopped them from trying to fly banners when their team sucked for a few years. Or the ridiculous pity party that they haven't been to a super bowl in 6 years. Gasp.
49ers fans won't appreciate a super bowl. They are arguably the second most spoiled market in national sports. [Reply]
Where I live (north of SF) the people are pretty chill, you'd think it was Overland Park or something -- strip malls, tract homes, etc. Not a lot of people moving in and out like in the City. So there's a lot of longtime 9ers fans. They are pretty decent about it.
Now, the longtime City folk with city money. Yeah, f-em.
Montana, Bono, Grbac, Smith...…………..30 years of sloppy seconds on QBs for Chiefs fans; and now they have some guy named Garoppolo that is a Patriots sloppy seconds. Screw them! They deserve to lose the SB by 35 points and not go back for 51 years. [Reply]
I do to.
If you could combine the Cowboys organization and the 9er organization and then drone strike them into oblivion, with hellfire missiles.
That'd be great. [Reply]

And, based on the last several weeks, we appear to be built to stop the run... The only thing they do well. [Reply]

As someone who has lived here since 1978 , I would have to agree..
The ONLY thing I can say ..or at least one argument would be there ARE still old school Bay Area fans who are absolutely still of the old mentality and suffered through YEARS AND YEARS of futility of SF sports..
1) The niners pre-montana were dogshit
2) the warriors were garbage for a lifetime before the curry dynasty
3) the giants had a MASSIVE stretch of not winning the world series that rivals the chiefs stretch of not winning the superbowl (1954- 2010 --- 56 years)
4) The San Jose sharks have been pretty snake bitten / bad luck...and have some of the best fans in ther area and are DEFINITELY not spoiled. Theyre some of the best fans of any sport actually.
so while the Niners dynasty was in the 80's the other two runs are pretty recent...and the sharks haven't tasted the glory..ever
But all of this aside I would still agree that Bay Area fans are pretty spoiled...and would not appreciate this win like we would. Maybe some of the older guys who were Niners Fans before 1982...Ive got a few friends who are true fans and some of them sent me really nice texts , knowing how great yesterday was for me. [Reply]
