49ers' personal foul

Team's in-house training video includes lesbian porn, racial slurs, barbs at Newsom

It was meant to be funny — but no one is laughing now in the San Francisco 49ers' front office over an in-house training film that featured off- color racial jokes, lesbian porn, a spoof of gay marriage and a trio of buxom, topless blondes frolicking with team public relations director Kirk Reynolds.

The 15-minute video (see it here), some of which was filmed in the City Hall office of Mayor Gavin Newsom — who comes in for a few unsubtle swipes — was intended as a primer on how players should handle the media in diverse San Francisco.

Instead, it's turned into a team embarrassment — with PR man Reynolds looking for another job.

The video, said team lawyer Ed Goines, "is absolutely contradictory to the ideals and values of the San Francisco 49ers."

Even Reynolds is conceding he pushed the envelope a bit too far.

1. I think I'm most amazed at how poorly made it is!

This is a pro team...I bet they paid some serious cake for this piece of crap. I would have done it for chump change!

2. This video was for a private audience

I just watched it, and while it was not of the best quality, I actually thought it was kind of funny.

I don't watch football for the political correctness of it.
