San Francisco 49ers Mascot Caught Supporting Kansas City Chiefs At Super Bowl 58 Media Day

It’s officially Super Bowl 58 week, and the San Francisco 49ers might just have a traitor among their ranks.

Everybody knows that the media circus in the lead up to the Super Bowl is unprecedented. It’s filled with plenty of ridiculous questions and even sillier games.

But one seemingly lighthearted moment for 49ers mascot Sourdough Sam may have accidentally revealed that he’ll be supporting the opposition on Sunday.

San Francisco 49ers Mascot Caught Playing Madden As Chiefs At Media Day

The incident occurred when Sam sat down to play a quick game of Madden for media day segment. But what happened next is where things really get interested.

As the players were picking their teams, Sam appears to choose to play as the Kansas City Chiefs…

Yikes.

He’s quickly called out by his opponent and tries to drop the controller as if he’s done nothing wrong. But the people weren’t having it.

Not only did he play as the Chiefs, but he went on to celebrate after scoring a touchdown as Travis Kelce.

“Why tf is Sourdough Sam playing as the Chiefs?! Yo @49ers, who’s mans is this,” one fan asked.

According to the 49ers website, “Sourdough Sam is the hardest working mascot in the NFL. Striking gold at Candlestick Park in 1994, Sourdough was drafted to the 49ers as the team’s official mascot! Sourdough Sam is a gold miner that loves to have fun, and pumps up the 49er faithful at every home game. Known for his love of sourdough bread, SDS would take the bread with him on a hard day’s work of digging in the gold mines. With his miners pick in the air Sam leads the San Francisco 49ers on to field now at Levi’s Stadium.”

Now that sounds like a diehard fan.

Not the type of mascot who would willingly support the opponent just days before the Super Bowl.
