How did San Francisco 49ers players react to the presidential election as it occurred? Torrey Smith, as expected, was by far the most vocal as he shared his opinions. This morning, he placed much of the blame for the result on those that failed to vote and yesterday, placed plenty on blame on those that voted for a third party candidate.

Media mis-polled Brexit and now the presidential election...
Clearly displays bias or poor recognition of social pressure skewing results

A large portion of our country felt those sentiments weighed more than pieces of character.
Don't overlook the gravity of their sentiment https://t.co/MNHu4icJ3F
