49ers Did The Right Thing By Lockett

[Tusc2000]

Not sure if this has been posted yet. Lockett's speedy recovery was assisted by quick work on the part of the 9ers front office staff. Pretty classy move, nice to see.

Yeah. That was pretty nice. Not enough of this type of stuff gets attention. Instead we have to be inundated with all the divisive crap.

Thanks goes out to the 49ers organization.

Cool story, thanks for the link. Yeah, behind the scenes most of the guys who work on the teams are not worrying about rivalries when it comes to the health of the team. I imagine our guys would do the same.

Kudos to the Niners staff, though. Way to come through.

(Actually they were just being selfish. They want Lockett healthy as we play all of the Niners rivals going down the stretch. :twisted: )

 

[SantaClaraHawk]

That was really classy by them.

I want it to stay that way b/c that's what keeps rivalries fun.

We've all seen what happens when that doesn't happen.

I'll bet if you called the 49ers front office and asked if they could pull the stick out of your bum they would say yes. Now THAT would be a story.

This is classy for sure and I am also equally sure had it been reversed, the Seahawks would have done the same for an injured 49er in Seattle following a game.

The question is why don't the Seahawks have one of these Game Ready devices? My initial thought is that it isn't portable enough to take one with you on the road, but that is kind of contradicted by the fact that the Niners were able to get it to the hospital.

Thanks to a classy Organization in the 49ers, yeah we love to trash talk each other and root against each other but they have always been a organization built on class going way back, yeah York may be a buffoon at times with how he does things but that doesn't negate the compassion of the Front offices for their players and others that make up the league. After all the players are everyone's product really and good will begets good will, I remember we had did something similar a few times over the years for injured players of other teams.

Well said...all the hate talk for opponents is ridiculous and overcooked . IMO

Love to see it. Rivalry should always stay on the field. Off the field we should always help each other.

I like the comment that Lockett is such a nice guy it made the decision easy.

I don't really get it either. Be sub-human d!cks or let him use it

When doing the right thing is 'classy'.

Game Ready's are super portable- about the size of two toasters or something put front to back. It plugs into the wall, and all you need is a little water and ice. Obviously the Seahawks weren't planning on anyone staying in the hospital overnight, but yeah, it's easy enough to take with them if they wanted to. Maybe they will now.

I agree.....They obliged, Because It Was The Right Thing To Do, not ponying up would have looked pretty bad for the whole NFL Nation.

 

[Jerhawk]

That's great! Thank you 49ers!

I love this rivalry

 

[HawkGA]

This makes sense given the 49ers ownership. That is, Russell Wilson owns the 49ers.

OK, it makes zero sense then that Seahawks didn't have one with them in the first place. Of course they weren't planning on anyone staying in the hospital, but that's like not bringing any medical equipment with them because they didn't plan on anyone getting hurt.

 

[Sports Hernia]

Good on them. I know Seattle would do the same if roles were reversed.
