49ers player officially announced his departure tomorrow…
Shortly after Sunday’s Super Bowl in Las Vegas, CBS television cameras likely will show a familiar postgame celebration with the winning team:
∎ For the ninth time in 19 years, the Lombardi Trophy will be presented to a white team owner who inherited that ownership from family.
For the eighth time in 11 years, the trophy also will be handed to a white head coach who is the father, son or grandson of an NFL family coaching tree.
Will it go to San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York, nephew of previous longtime 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr.? Jed York hired 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, son of former Super Bowl-winning head coach Mike Shanahan.
