Kurtenbach: Reuben Foster’s latest arrest should seal his 49ers’ fate

Why spend the night at the Hilton when you can stay at the Hillsborough County (Fla.) Jail?

That’s the trade 49ers’ linebacker Reuben Foster made Saturday night after he was arrested on charges of domestic violence — again.

And if this isn’t the final straw — the thing that gets the 49ers to cut ties with the troubled linebacker — then clearly general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan didn’t mean a damn word they said about accountability and zero tolerance towards domestic violence the last time Foster was arrested for domestic violence.

First, a disclaimer for all of those who feel so inclined to defend the honor of Foster and the NFL team that (for the time being) employs him: I don’t know what happened at the team hotel Saturday night and neither do you.
