Disgruntled Fan Alters 49ers GM's Wikipedia Page

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) – Evidence of the mounting frustration with the struggles of the San Francisco 49ers has reached Wikipedia.

An apparent disgruntled fan on Monday went onto embattled San Francisco 49ers GM Trent Baalke's Wikipedia page and altered it, adding several sarcastic comments.

"Despite the incredibly awful job he has done, and continued success in embarrassing and destroying this organization, gutless Jed York refuses to fire Baalke," the hacker wrote.

In another edited part of the online biography the hacker wrote: "An 11 year old can see that Baalke is running this team into the ground, but York doesn't care as long as he continues to make a profit."

"Baalke also seems to have some sort of power over York, so until York grows a pair Trent Baalke will continue to destroy this organization for the foreseeable future."

The hacker then told fans to continue their criticism on hashtag #FireBaalke.

The struggling 49ers have gotten off to a 1-6 start and now have six straight losses heading into the bye week.
