49ers Fans are Asking 49ers Fans to Stay Away from the Rocky Statue
Published:
The Niners got their shit rocked after fans befouled the Rocky Statue a few years ago, and it seems as though they’ve learned their lesson because the big fan accounts are warding off their fellow jamokes:
Yes, stay away! That is our statue of a fake boxer, or at least one of the three Rocky statues out there right now. Apparently there are two at the art museum and then one at the airport? Something like that.
Someone made a good point in the comments the other day, Facebook I think. He noted that most of the San Francisco fans in town are not coming from California, but probably from Philadelphia and South Jersey. They’re not actually traveling; they’re already here. It checks out because there are a lot of poser cockroach Niner fans skittering around. They aren’t as obnoxious as Dallas fans, but it’s the same gist as the Cowboys (and Steelers, to an extent), where they were handed down their fandom from older family members who watched them win a bunch of Super Bowls in the 1980s. Joe Montana and Jerry Rice and all of that. It’s their version of America’s Team, the whole Roger Staubach and Tony Dorsett thing with the Cowboys always being on television.
My dipshit neighbor from Gilbertsville, Sean, is a 49ers fan, and you know why? I donβt know. I have no clue. He went to Boyertown with me and was good friends with Jimmy Develin, who won three Super Bowls with the Pats but grew up a Birds fan. Jimmy D is the real deal but Sean is a nitwit, moron, and a dope. He’s a JOKE.
