| 49ers Players Stay Out Of Harms Way May 9 2002 By Bryan Hersh of 49ers Paradise This off-season, we’ve seen countless players run into trouble with the law. Possession of illegal substances, driving under intoxication, harassment, money laundering and other legal ‘sins’, they’ve all been in the syndicated headlines. The NFL gets a bad wrap because of many players who participate in such illegal acts. It’s certainly not every NFL player, it isn’t even a majority, but those that do commit the acts have given the NFL a bad name. Thankfully the 49ers and their players have kept their noses away from the legal issues. Character has always been a big part of 49ers organization. Players with character are brought into the organization over those without it. And it’s this character that has kept the team out of trouble for yet another off-season. The 49ers are that polar opposite of the Dallas Cowboys, a team whose reputation doesn’t even need stating.
With the off-season half over, don’t expect 49ers players to be in trouble with the law. It’s a class that comes with being a 49er, and it’s why guys like Lawrence Phillips never made it with the team. It’s something the 49ers aren’t about to change either, and it’s just one more reason why fans can look to the 49ers to be a model organization.
