San Francisco 49ers ownership finally spoke out Wednesday on the state of the franchise.
It was not 49ers CEO Jed York who made public comments, but his father and the team's co-chairman John York, who spoke to a crowd of approximately 40 people as an honored guest at an NFL Alumni Northern California Chapter luncheon in Redwood City.
"This was not a good season. But you have my assurance that the ownership of the 49ers is very passionate about this team. And we are here to win,'' York said, as reported by Dan Brown of the Mercury News, who attended the luncheon.
