He did, he said βthe big ones with their inhuman brutality take the fun out of fighting.β Fighting against actual existential threats to freedom and democracy where the fascists as just as strong as you is just too scary compared to enemies you vastly outmatch in firepower.

Fellow 49ers fans reading this, we need to let Jed York, John Lynch, and Kyle Shanahan know that if we want the Niners to win one, we need to repeal Prop 13. This isnβt any crazier than the substation theory, and even if it doesnβt work, it would still make living in our state a lot more affordable!

Forget the substation, my new theory is that Proposition 13 passing in 1978 gave the 49ers 5 Super Bowls over the next 20 years but cursed them to never win again after that. Like the property tax cap, conservative boomers took away from future generations for their own short-term interests.

Yeah, can definitely see that. Stephen Curry has similar vibes, fairly liberal on social issues but also helped block an affordable housing project in his neighborhood and was a big crypto guy

As a 49ers fan:
1. Ouch
2. Bosa counts for 30%
3. Niners are still pretty good at hiring and promoting diverse staff (most JC-2A draft picks and Stephen Millerβs firm sued them for βDEI practicesβ last year)
4. Kyle Shanahan is AFAIK the only head coach to be arrested for standing up to racist cops

Texans were my AFC pick because I thought the defense was good enough to survive a bad Stroud game but I underestimated how bad a game he could have.

Fair enough, I think the βif they advanceβ is implied by this part of the season, but I get your point.
As a 49ers fan I do think itβll be tough to win on Saturday (I even predicted the Hawks to win it all), but thats why the games are played. Hereβs to a good game with no injuries on either side!

Doesnβt mean that they are overlooking their upcoming opponent or think a win is guaranteed, just means that they want him ready if they do win. Nothing to do with the Seahawks at all.

Why would it be disrespectful to have him start practicing? All it does is give them more time to evaluate his progress and get him ready for next week if they win. Any team, including the Seahawks, would obviously do the same if they had a key player getting close to a return.
