I still remember the valiant effort to dump JOHN York (not Jed) during the "dumpyork" website movement.
It went absolutely nowhere and fell on deaf ears. But at least the banner does get some TV play.
I said this ten years ago and the same applies today: The Yorks don't care how badly this franchise founders. They never have. They never will. They won't care until it starts to hurt the bottom line. Then, and only then, will you see a temporary investment in the team followed by a few meager winning seasons.
This is how they fooled us (me included) with Harbaugh. They brought him in to right the ship and promised him the moon. He turned the franchise into immediate winners -- helping the York family clean up with a spankin' brand new stadium.
But now that the House That York Built is now built -- and the money has already been plunked down for seat licenses -- it's back to the cellar for us. This family does not care, one iota, about records. They care about $$$ only -- the bottom line. It doesn't matter what the team record is or who the coach or GM is. These parts are interchangeable.

Didn't bother John much at all -- or his wife -- who owns the team and stays out of the slimelight that is the 49ers.
Jed has thick skin for a reason. It's all about $$$. There's no reason to field a winning team when the House that York Built is already standing.

Congratulations to Conor McGuire, Graham Grealish, and Mark Scannell who crowd funded the banner! Not sure if you guys are here on the Zone but if you read this I would be happy to contribute to funding the same banner over the 4 remaining home games and/or a billboard close to the stadium as I'm sure many other would be as well!
GREAT JOB!!
GREAT JOB!!

It will? The Jed York banner last year did nothing. How would this be different. He isnt going to fire someone because a few fans rented a banner for a half hour.

Firing isn't enough, can we do public flogging?

LOL. Good for you folks with the disposable income. People out there are struggling, but let's fly a banner over the stadium voicing our displeasure with our favorite sports team. First world problems.

So many things we do are first world problems. Giving $5 to some fans so they can embarrass the owner of our beloved team is a drop in the ocean of the first world problems we all partake in.

No matter what some of us think, this will rub someone the wrong way, and (imo) will be in the back of Baalke's / Jed's mind during next free agency / draft.
**** the ACL picks... just so baalke can shelf them and feel good about himself as if he got the discount of a lifetime, while thinking he outsmarted the rest of the league
