Mayor Ed Lee responded to the 49ers loss in Super Bowl XLVII mere moments after the Ravens lapped up tasty triumph trickling down their chins. Lee's words are surprisingly upbeat:
"Tonight, once again, the San Francisco 49ers thrilled the entire Bay Area with a spectacular performance," Lee said."The entire team demonstrated what you can accomplish with enough perseverance and teamwork. Although they did not come up with a win, our City is proud of our Red & Gold hometown team."
[...]
"The City and County of San Francisco congratulates this remarkable NFC Champion team, every player on the roster, the entire 49ers organization, the York family, and every fan for an amazing, hard fought season," Lee said.
Lee, who made a bet with the mayor of Baltimore, must now "visit a Baltimore-area crab market while wearing a Baltimore Ravens jersey" where he will crack open a blue crab.
Godspeed, Ed. Godspeed.
