Eric Reid, Torrey Smith react very differently to 49ers' $1M donation
With protests taking place in numerous cities nationwide, 49ers CEO Jed York announced Saturday night that the team would be making a $1 million donation to local and national organizations seeking social change.
Two former 49ers teammates had different responses to York on Twitter shortly after the announcement was made.
Wide receiver Torrey Smith, who played for the 49ers in 2015 and 2016, praised York for his commitment to fighting injustices.
York even responded to Smith.
But safety Eric Reid, who was drafted by the 49ers in 2013 and played with the team through the 2017 season, was not a fan of York's donation.
Smith and Reid were teammates on the Carolina Panthers during the 2018 season.
