I have alot of activities that I love to do during the week however on Sunday and occasionally Monday and Thursday nothing beats watching the San Francisco 49ers play. Since I can remember no team has meant more to me than the 49ers. Football isn't my favorite sport yet the 49ers are my favorite team in all sports. The reasons I support them are countless but I can name a few good reasons why I love them so much.
The first reason why I love the 49ers is that I grew up in San Francisco and only one solid block from Candlestick Stadium ( the former home stadium of the 49ers ). Growing up extremely close to the stadium made it difficult to not be interested in the 49ers and want to learn about their history. One of the best feeling as a kid was always having the opportunity to see all the faithful 49er fans crowded in the streets in gold and red. The best part about seeing faithful fans crowded in the streets was that no matter if the 49ers won or lost the fans always seemed happy to witness the game and also were optimistic about future games, even if the 49ers got crushed. Growing up next to the stadium made me feel that me and the 49ers were not only from the same city but also the same community.
The second reason why I love the 49ers is because I used to play Pop Warner football for their youth team and used to think maybe one day I could play for them one day, if I ate my Wheaties . During that stage of my life when I thought I could play for the 49ers, they weren't doing to good record wise and that only gave me more hope that I could change those terribly loses into some good wins one day! That thought eventually changed when the 49ers started winning and drafted some future legends such as Colin Kaepernick and Vernon Davis. Now that were starting to lose again maybe they could use me or we could just start winning again with our million dollar stars .
Those are just two reasons why I love the 49ers more than anyone else. I could go into the history and records set by our legends which include Joe Montana, Steve Young and my favorite of all time Jerry Rice but il save that for another blog . Alot of people have favorite teams and are great fans im sure but when you grow up right next to the team stadium and attend games weekly a real bond starts to form that can't be broken or replaced. I can't see myself supporting any other football team unless they relocate to San Francisco and even then my heart is still with the 5 time champion 49ers.
