Wednesday morning turned into a mildly tumultuous day for the York family, as speculation about a sale or restructuring of the San Francisco 49ers had plenty of tongues wagging. It was general columnist speculation, but given the unhappiness among 49ers fans amidst a disappointing season, it is not surprising it grew some legs.
We normally don't hear a lot from the York family, but co-owner John York actually made some rare comments. He was attending an NFL Alumni chapter luncheon, and had a chance to comment about the 49ers disappointing season. San Jose Mercury News reporter Dan Brown was in attendance, and wrote about York's comments.
