The San Francisco 49ers relationship with the Santa Clara city council is not getting any better anytime soon. The team has filed a lawsuit against the Santa Clara, and while I am on the hunt for the physical complaint, the San Jose Mercury News has a useful rundown of what it entails.
Santa Clara has accused the 49ers of being in breach, and the team is seeking declaratory relief and not a monetary award. Simply put, they want a judge to declare whether or not the team has violated its contract with the city.
