Diversity

One of the more bizarre things I've ever heard of. Kirk Reynolds, the San Francisco 49ers' PR director, made a video for training camp that would help players field media questions. Well, apparently Kirk wanted to make his video "cheeky", and in a baffling move decided to make fun of asians and lesbians as part of his video. In San Francisco. A city with a very large and vocal asian and gay community.

This is baffling, especially given that he is the teams Public Relations Director. Anyway, he's fired (that's a given), but it's still boggles the mind trying to figure out what he was thinking. Here's a link to the SI article. A short trip down Google lane will find you the videos.

49ers go to Chinatown to apologize for video
