The San Francisco 49ers’ hearts are heavy this week.

The team had recently visited a young fan who was d3aling with unimaginable things in his young life. The fan, David, was d3aling with heart failure, and one of his last wishes was to meet players of his favorite team.

Unfortunately, the disease would take its course, and David would pass away at a young age, the family announced.

It was something that the family, as well as the 49ers, knew was coming.

It did not make it any easier to d3al with.

 

Hopefully, the team can have a much better season in 2025 and play in his memory.

In the 2024 NFL season, the San Francisco 49ers finished with a record of 6 wins and 11 losses, placing them at the bottom of the NFC West.

“I love this! It’s awesome when the players, from any team, take the time to do stuff like this… 😭❤️,” one fan said.

“This is always a hard thing to hear, but a big shout out to the San Francisco 49ers for fulfilling his wish,” a second fan wrote.

“Respect to the players. It’s greater than football. Puts a smile and tears on your face all at one time. Glad he got his wish,” a third person stated.

“Beautiful. Well done, fellas. Some things are Bigger than football❤️❤️❤️,” a fifth fan said.

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

WNBA Chooses Not To Investigate Brittney Griner

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got away with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
