The San Francisco 49ers were embarrassed at Levi’s Stadium on Thanksgiving. They got spanked by the Seattle Seahawks 19-3, gaining a total of just 164 yards of offense as the defending champs laid the smack down on their division rivals.
Niners CEO Jed York wasn’t happy after the game.
Thank you #49ersfaithful for coming out strong tonight. This performance wasn't acceptable. I apologize for that

This isn’t the first time York has gotten angry on Twitter after a game.
The last time Jed York offered up words like that, Mike Singletary wasn't the head coach much longer. Not saying this is exactly the same…

Without digging through Twitter archives, I’d assume this is the game Kawakami is talking about. Or maybe this one. Either way, Singletary was fired before the end of the season, and Harbaugh was hired days after the completion of the 2010 campaign.
As for other reactions….
Harbaugh claimed ignorance.
“I don’t know anything about the tweet.” – Jim Harbaugh responding to @JedYork “They played better as a team than we did”

And then didn’t offer much of a rebuttal.
Harbaugh wouldn't answer whether he thought owner's tweet was appropriate. Just repeated "we know what we need to do as a team"

Colin Kaepernick agreed with York.
Kaepernick agreed with Jed York's unacceptable/apology tweet: "It's not acceptable. We didn't play well. We have much higher standards"

Well, this is going swimmingly. What would be the better situation for Harbaugh – the 49ers, devolving into chaos, or Michigan, a dumpster fire of a football program at the moment?
