Bandwagon 49ers fans in the Mission

SFist this morning published a list of reasons you might be a bandwagon 49ers fan. Topping the list? You live in the Mission:

Once a bastion for Latino families, introverts, and homosexuals, San Francisco’s Mission District is now home to long lines of beards in black Giants caps waiting for ice cream, bread, groceries, Chinese food, and evenhaircuts at a fucking barbershop. Is it because The Mission has the best the city has to offer? Hell no. You can find the greatest of anything all over this unparalleled city of ours, not just on Valencia and Mission streets. It is because nowhere more in San Francisco do people love to be a part of something, to be a part of organized fun than in The Mission. If the shocking rise in baseball fans among the PBR set during the 2010 Giants World Series is any indication, we could see double that with football fans provided the Niners win Sunday’s NFC Championship.

Fair. Read on for lots more astute analysis.

    All I know is if the fucking 49ers go to the superbowl, I’m leaving town that weekend.

    The one on the left looks like the Yid kid that everybody, including the girls, targeted in dodge ball, and the one on the right has only one goal; to find an old white man to keep him and to take him to the White Party in Palm Springs.

    This brings up an interesting question: what is the appropriate waiting period once one moves to a city for someone to become a fan of the local sports teams?

    It seems to me that if the teams suck, then immediate fan-hood is ok. However, if the teams begin to have success, the equation becomes more complicated.

    One thing is for sure though, satin jackets are never ok.

      If you are a true football/sports fan and already support a team the answer is NEVER!

      If you didn’t really have a team before, then I would say it takes 2-3 years of really following a team before you could be considered a real fan (i.e. not a bandwagon jumper).

    Yuck. The only thing worse than a bandwagon 49ers fan is a regular 49ers fan [ducks, runs]

    Who fucking cares? Are you all really calling poseur right now like it’s high school? We all love this city and it’s fun to celebrate that. The more the merrier as far as I’m concerned. GO NINERS!

    NOTHING WRONG WITH A LITTLE CIVIC PRIDE, Grande bagges of douche. While they’re still here in S.F. no less. Soon they’ll be gone. Like you childish, chattering, dilettantes will be when you tire of the little play-date you’re having with this fine city.

    It’s the “Forty-Fucking-Niners”, BTW.

    FU & the Google Bus you rode in on.

  10. scum says:

    Been in The City 40 years and stil not on the bandwagon.

  11. Tuffy says:

    Growing up in Cincinnati and having been to BOTH superbowls I will never, ever, ever like the Niners. I’m happy for the city but the only way I’ll ever root for them in the superbowl is if they are playing against the Patriots. I hate the Patriots most of all.

  12. Bobby Hurley says:

    what’s cool is that hellza dope old-school sac kings jacket that other dude is wearing. word.

    i’m a native, no bandwagoner here. go niners.

  13. Lionel Simmons says:

    Yep, you always stay true to your home team no matter what. You always rock their gear no matter where you are. Props.

  14. JC says:

    Amazing what comes up when you google forty fucking niners. That Kings jacket dipshit has on is actually amazing.

  15. Latino says:
