Who currently owns the 49ers? How did the Debartolo York family make their fortune?

Image
In NFL team ownership, the San Francisco 49ers face criticism for their unique business approach, run by the Debartolo-York family. Fans of the Niners are expressing frustration due to what they see as a long-standing issue - the team’s reluctance to change its ways. DeBartolo comes from a family that is famous for its real estate development. Her brother, Edward J. DeBartolo Jr., was the previous owner of the 49ers football team and a controversial figure who was removed from his position by then-President Trump five years ago. After graduating, DeBartolo joined the family business, The DeBartolo Corporation, and quickly became its executive vice president. 1994, following her father’s death, she was appointed company co-chairman and ultimately oversaw the sale of all 78 DeBartolo malls, which were the foundation of their family business. Since 1999, DeBartolo has been heading the San Francisco 49ers team, which she later passed on to her son Jed York in 2007. The criticism centers

Tencent's Riot Games to lay off about 11% of staff

Tencent Holdings' Riot Game s plans to lay off 530 employees, or about 11% of its staff globally, the online gaming company said on Monday in a blog that included a letter to employees from CEO Dylan Jadeja. Los Angeles-based Riot, whose popular titles include "League of Legends", said teams outside of core development will see the largest impact from layoffs. Digital Game s publishers are struggling to grow, as audience hold off on buying expensive titles or stick to fewer Game s amid high i NFL ation. Early last year, Electronic Arts Inc cut 6% staff and gave up some office space. "Today, we're a company without a sharp enough focus, and simply put, we have too many things underway. Some of the significant investments we've made aren't paying off the way we expected them to. Our costs have grown to the point where they're unsustainable," Jadeja said in the letter. The changes will allow Riot to focus on its portfolio of live games "

We have reached the Business end of the Australian Open. The contenders have separated themselves from the pretenders and everyone left in the tournament is 3 wins away from potential Grand Slam glory. Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner are on a collision course for the semifinals and both will be taking the court on Tuesday. On the women’s side, Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff are in action.   Let’s take a look at the best bets to be made on the Day 10 schedule for the season’s first major. Andrey Rublev Under 17.5 games won vs. Jannik Sinner (-120)   All signs point to this being tough sledding for Andrey Rublev in the quarterfinals. And what’s new? The fifth-ranked Russian is a hard-to-believe 0-9 lifetime in Grand Slam quarterfinals. Yes, Rublev has done very well to make it this far so many times. But as that hopeless record indicates , he just doesn’t have the stuff to beat the best players in the world. And that is exactly what Sinner is. The 22-year-old has surged to #4 i

Chelsea's position in Premier League table without Cole Palmer's goals

Image
Following Chelsea's mass spending spree last summer in which the Blues broke the Premier League transfer record, one man has stood out among their new recruits. Signed for an initial £40m from last season's treble-winners Manchester City, Cole Palmer has adapted quickly to life at Stamford Bridge. Mauricio Pochettino may have admitted that acquiring the 21-year-old wasn't actually his idea, but that hasn't stopped the Argentine leaning heavily on him this term. Palmer has been an integral part of Pochettino's new-look Blues, stepping up with goals and assists in spite of his rather toothless teammates. The Englishman has settled more quickly than any of Chelsea's other summer signings, but the west London club have arguably grown too reliant on his contributions. So, where would Chelsea be without Cole Palmer's goals ? How many goals has Cole Palmer scored in the Premier League? A number of Palmer's strikes have come from the spot / Chris Brunskill/Fant

The San Francisco 49ers have given the green light to Dre Greenlaw , who was listed as questionable due to his Achilles tendon difficulties in the last two weeks, ahead of their decisive Divisional Round Game against the Green Bay Packers. However, they have ruled out defensive end Clelin Ferrell . Clelin Ferrell’s injury and consequences In the Week 18 game against the Rams, Ferrell sustained a knee injury early on, confirmed by coach Kyle Shanahan . As a result, Ferrell was ruled out for at least one game, and there is a possibility that he may return in the playoffs. However, the probability of his return is not definite. Shanahan’s decision to play the starters in the first quarter of the 49ers’ season finale game against the Rams was a smart move to avoid any rustiness in the playoffs. However, this decision came with an inherent risk, as football is a violent game. Unfortunately, Ferrell was the unlucky one who suffered an injury . # 49ers Dre Greenlaw is officially Questiona

Potential loan destinations for Karim Benzema in January transfer window - ranked

Image
With a Ballon d'Or, eight league titles, five UEFA Champions Leagues and over 400 goals to his name, Karim Benzema left European Football behind in the summer of 2023. Instead of signing a new deal with Real Madrid, the legendary forward opted to join the Saudi Arabian revolution instead - putting pen to paper on a deal said to be worth £172m-per-year at Al Ittihad. With his Saudi side lingering disappointingly in mid-table however, outlandish reports have now claimed that Benzema could be on his way back to Europe on loan this January. Here are the clubs who should be looking to sign him. 5. Barcelona Is it a possibility? / Eric Alonso/GettyImages Yeah, yeah, yeah, we hear you. There's no way in a million years that Benzema joins Madrid's arch rivals on loan. We know. We get it. The reason Barca are worth mentioning on this list though is that they're probably the club that needs Benzema the most right now. With Robert Lewandowski struggling to get a kick of the ball
