| San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom shook his head and said "What an idiot." What sparked this? A training video produced by 49ers PR director Kirk Reynolds. Reynolds also organized a two-and-a-half hour diversity seminar, and the video's a follow-up. He organized it due to a flappette sparked by then-Niners RB Garrison Hearst's homophobic comments. You can see the video, anonymously sent to the San Francisco Chronicle, on the site. Yes, it's censored. Badly. But maybe that's just Quicktime artifacts. The video features: * Reynolds, as the mayor, in Newsom's office and leading a tour of San Francisco. And presiding over a mock gay wedding, which ends in lesbian sex (they're still in foreplay mode when the camera pans away). * Trainer (at the time) George Chung translating a Chinese-language article on the Niners: "49ers love being in community. Very patriotic . . . support president and his George Bush erection." * LB Julian Peterson (holding out at the time) panhandling: "Will Tackle for Food or Cash." * Reynolds flipping out at a heckler. * Someone, purportedly a member of the SF Giants, catching the first pitch of a game, then slipping Reynolds a bribe and thanking him for his policies on hookers and booze. (It should be noted Reynolds is now the former Niners PR director.) |

Originally posted by drjayphd PAH. For years the Royal Canadian Air Farce up here in Canada frequently had skits with "Jean Chretien" mispronouncing words such as the election/erection issue and NOBODY had any problems with that.  I don't see what's so *bad* about the video... It's not PC at all but I guess that Reynolds just wanted to have a bit of fun. The Chinese/flipping out parts were just wrong but in a good way. Bet you anything there's a NFL team out there that's done worse.(And ouch on the Ryan Leaf shot.) |

| I'm not sure what to think of this--i just wonder the justification behind it...i mean, how did these people figure it wouldn't blow up like this...or was it not supposed to have ever been released to the public. That makes you wonder what other things companies have done that we do not know about... | |||

Originally posted by Tanookirby ...and THAT'S why you were banned.  Anyways, turns out the guy did a video for the team in 2003 as well, which was just as bad. No involvement from the mayor, though. Niners are holding a comprehensive diversity seminar in response to this flappette. |
