We're All Fans

 

We all have one goal, we just have different methods. We all want the 49ers to return to the greatness by which we have all be spoiled. We want Super Bowl rings. At minimum we want a team that will make us proud and be in the hunt every year. Even the York's SAY they want to win (although I would argue it is much lower in their priority list than it is in ours). We are 49ers fans who just want to win!

   
I have become interested by a few comments I have heard or seen that questions the fans. For example when Hunter posted his DumpYork experience on the Niners board, he was accused of not being a fan. I don't have the exact quote but it was something like "you call yourself a fan, yet you boo the team you route for." Even the York's have set guidelines for what is a fan. Only the "faithful" will pay to sit and watch the crap on the field with the optimistic view that things will change.

   
My point is simple, we are all 49ers fans. I wish I could sit and watch this team with the knowledge that the greatness we desire will be just around the corner. More power to those who actually believe it. I guess that makes them "faithful." But guess what? I am faithful too. I am faithful to the Niners! I will always route for them. But I am faithless in the Yorks! I just do not believe that as long as they own this team, the Niners will ever find great success. Sure, maybe someday we luck into a winning season. But there will be no long lasting consistency. And hence, DumpYork.com lives on.

   
I hold no ill will to those who drink the juice. If anything I am jealous as I wish I could see the world through their eyes. But I don't. And so I will always route for the Niners, but until proven otherwise, I will always route for the Yorks to sell the team and leave our town. That is how I believe our team will return to greatness.

   
We are all Niners fans. We just all have different beliefs on how to accomplish our same objectives.
