On the one hand, we have one NFL player and on the other we will be competing with teams who own NFL franchises and MLS football teams including a group that owns the New York Yankees and a soccer franchise that plays at the Yankees stadium.
I hate to p*ss on people's chips but a bit of perspective would not go amiss.
No English team owns a NFL franchise, you've got it the wrong way round.
49ers are the ones who own, or will eventually own, Leeds.
At the 49ers club shop you can buy Leeds' replica kit and other items
There are people wearing it in the Bay area with absolutely no clue about who Leeds are, their standing in the game etc.
It's about generating revenue though, expanding the potential fanbase etc and that's what we will get to a lesser degree from the likes of Watts.
Jenkins didn't appear to have anywhere near this amount of clout when he invested, there was some social media interest, but miles off what we're seeing with the Watts' investment.
Perspective is fine, but rubbishing what the club is trying to do is bizarre and if anything a little close minded
