Considering how contentious the history has been between the San Francisco 49ers and the city of Santa Clara, I figured something would blow up with this event. Then I recently saw this…

This won’t be that long of a story. I just saw this tonight, and it made me laugh for one reason.

In 2019, the Anaheim Angels (I will not call them the LA Angels) agreed with the city of Anaheim on an extension to keep the team at Angel Stadium through 2050.

The San Francisco 49ers promise pay for all World Cup expenses...somewhat...kind of...maybe?

In February 2024, it was announced that 16 cities in North America, including Santa Clara’s Levi Stadium, home to the San Francisco 49ers, would host six games for the 2026 World Cup. But hosting games for the World Cup is quite costly. Brazil almost went bankrupt after spending $12 billion on now-unused stadiums for their World Cup hosting duties in 2014. Furthermore, over the last few years,…
