York Pork is Too Easy a Target in Olympics Finger-Pointing
No observer of the dysfunctional San Francisco 49ers organization should have been surprised when owner John York bungled the protocol for his announcement that the team would be moving to Santa Clara. (The shakiness and lack of consultation of that assertion have been well documented, and its implications for the real needs of the city were examined in Beyond Chron yesterday.) However, one aspect of the punditry surrounding this latest manifestation of bozomania, York style, strikes me as ov...

San Francisco Gains from 49ers Move to Santa Clara
When incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Dianne Feinstein take time from their post-election planning to urge San Francisco 49ers owner John York to keep the team in San Francisco, then you know that the city’s wealthy elite are in an uproar over the 49ers proposed move. Only a tiny percentage of San Franciscans would ever benefit from the luxury boxes and improved seating at a new 49ers stadium, and the dozen games per year does not provide meaningful jobs for neighborhood reside...

Regulating Free Speech Through Place and Time
As a street performer for almost 30 years now, I can give you endless examples of “free speech” thefts, on public streets, via governmental/public agencies working on the pressure of merchants to either monitor the political contents of street performances or to stop competing free markets on the street. Once the government can regulate the TIME AND PLACE OF FREE SPEECH, it is NO LONGER FREE SPEECH. The “time and place” factor” effectively and constructively ELIMINATES free speech. And that i...

Santa Clara 49ers & Fremont A's?
Right when Gavin Newsom was cruising along for his re-election bid, The City's most popular team, the San Francisco 49ers announce that they are giving up on plans to build a new stadium in San Francisco and will build a stadium closer to team headquarters in Santa Clara. If the Niners do go ahead with plans to leave The City, the Niners will be Topic A at every debate and political discussion during next year's conversations about Newsom's re-election bid. Regardless of whether Newsom is re-...
