All black, no logo?
Apparently he was holding out for more money. He was ahead of his time, knew that's where the real money would be made!
But Fresca gave him all you can eat at Big Bob's for a year.
(PS: Fresca was the exclusive beverage at Bob's back in the day, at least in order for my joke's logic to work.)

The 49ers themselves were multiracial and multicultural. That some (many?) we're racist does not make the name racist any more than "Patriots" "Cowboys" "Steelers" "Oilers" "Commanders" "Buccaneers" "Pirates" etc are racist names even though many in that group were racist.

Oh, OK. Now what about "Chiefs"?
For the first time, Las Vegas is hosting the big game. After a season full of ups, downs and unpredictable endings, Super Bowl LVIII is finally set to kick off this weekend between the San Francisco @49ers and the Kansas City @Chiefshttps://t.co/0RP0SwaQei

Quote:
Historian Benjamin Madley recorded the numbers of killings of California Indians between 1846 and 1873 and estimated that during this period at least 9,400 to 16,000 California Indians were killed by non-Indians, mostly occurring in more than 370 massacres (defined as the "intentional killing of five or more disarmed combatants or largely unarmed noncombatants, including women, children, and prisoners, whether in the context of a battle or otherwise").
According to demographer Russell Thornton, between 1849 and 1890, the Indigenous population of California fell below 20,000 primarily because of the killings. According to the government of California, some 4,500 Native Americans suffered violent deaths between 1849 and 1870.
Furthermore, California stood in opposition of ratifying the eighteen treaties signed between tribal leaders and federal agents in 1851. The state government, in support of miner activities funded and supported death squads, appropriating over 1 million dollars towards the funding and operation of the paramilitary organizations.
Peter Burnett, California's first governor declared that California was a battleground between the races and that there were only two options towards California Indians, extermination or removal. "That a war of extermination will continue to be waged between the two races until the Indian race becomes extinct, must be expected. While we cannot anticipate the result with but painful regret, the inevitable destiny of the race is beyond the power and wisdom of man to avert." For Burnett, like many of his contemporaries, the genocide was part of God's plan, and it was necessary for Burnett's constituency to move forward in California.
The Act for the Government and Protection of Indians, passed on April 22, 1850, by the California Legislature, allowed settlers to capture and use Native people as bonded workers, prohibited Native peoples' testimony against settlers, and allowed the adoption of Native children by settlers, often for labor purposes

The 1849 gold rush initiated and accelerated a large movement of ethnic cleansing in rural California.Quote:

9ers are way more talented. But they've been fortunate to win both playoff games.Cal88 said:

I guess we'll see how far a generational QB can take you
