Hi, my name is Brady Klopfer, and I used to be a San Francisco 49ers fan.
Used to be. I’m not anymore, which is probably why you’re reading my words on a San Francisco Giants site, not a San Francisco 49ers one.
The 49ers never fully lost my fandom. The NFL did, for reasons I won’t get into (except through links to sate the curious readers). But by the time the NFL came knocking, asking me to renew my fan vows, my relationship with the 49ers was fractured enough that it was easy for me to say “nah, I’m good,” and start taking advantage of going to Costco during NFL hours.
