San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle disappointed some of his fans on Saturday night, but it’s not because of anything he did on the football field.<\/p>\n

Kittle has been a fan favorite in the Bay Area since being drafted in 2017. Although the 49ers struggled in 2024, the six-time Pro Bowler hauled in 78 passes for 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns. He was rewarded this offseason with a\u00a0four-year, $76.4 million contract extension.<\/p>\n

The 49ers certainly expect Kittle to be great yet again this fall. After all, he has proven over the years that he’ll always produce as long as he’s healthy.<\/p>\n

So why are 49ers fans upset with Kittle this Sunday? It turns out they didn’t appreciate his publicity stunt last night.<\/p>\n

Country music singer Morgan Wallen had Kittle walk out on stage with him during Saturday’s concert at Levi’s Stadium. It’s no secret that Wallen has a lot of critics due to his questionable antics.<\/p>\n

In February 2021, the award-winning country singer was caught using a racial slur in a video that leaked online. His record label at that time\u00a0suspended his contract indefinitely.<\/p>\n

“My words matter,” Wallen said. “A\u00a0word can truly hurt a person, and at my core, it’s not what I’m OK with. This week I heard firsthand some personal stories from Black people that honestly shook me. And I know what I’m going through this week doesn’t even compare to some of the trials I heard about from them. I came away from those discussions with a deep appreciation for them and a clearer understanding of the weight of my words.”<\/p>\n

Several 49ers fans ripped Kittle for associating with Wallen – even if it was just for a brief entrance.<\/p>\n

“49ers love hanging with racists. Got it<\/p>\n

“Damn Morgan Wallen hella racist<\/p>\n

“EW Wtffff! Why would he do this? Morgan Wallen is a whole racist ass man,” a third fan wrote.<\/p>\n

“That’s whack,” a social media user commented.<\/p>\n

As of now, Kittle hasn’t addressed the backlash on social media.<\/p>\n

Kittle wasn’t the only member of the 49ers at Saturday’s concert. All-Pro offensive tackle Trent Williams also walked out with Wallen.<\/p>\n

It’s also worth noting that former San Francisco Giants star Barry Bonds and NFL legend Steve Young walked out with Wallen one day earlier.<\/p>\n
