49ers owner Jed York took to Twitter last weekend to offer up some tickets to the game against the Packers to #FaithfulFans, and it kind of backfired. The game was again a devastating loss, and the Twitter response was, as CBS 5 reported, kind of embarrassing.
Here's one example.
@JedYork no one cares since you dismantled the team and coaching staff. Keep losing with class!! #49ers

... and here's another.
@JedYork watch us lose by 40 and take the risk of getting jumped by some gang bangers in the parking lot or bathroom? No thanks

Maybe Jed overestimated the faithfulness of the fanbase?
As discussed last week, season ticket holders are especially bitter this year and having major trouble selling their tickets especially when the team makes it all the more difficult by not releasing the physical tickets to them until a few days before each game.
It's not clear how many seats York had free to fill last Sunday.
But that was only the first of two Twitter gaffes for the team this week. As Bleacher Report caught on Twitter last night, someone with access to the 49ers official Twitter account accidentally tweeted and then deleted the current value of the account via a service called Twalue.com.
And that only incited more heckling.
I think the @49ers have more things to worry about than their (new) Twitter value. pic.twitter.com/cHgZQYgRpU
