Trent Williams jabs Rams fans over 49ers’ LA takeovers: ‘Had to go to Australia’

Article excerpt

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams took a playful jab at Los Angeles Rams fans ahead of the teams' September 10 matchup in Melbourne, Australia. Williams quipped that the 49ers had their home game stolen, not the Rams, when the league relocates one franchise's home date to the other side of the globe. The joke plays on San Francisco's historical dominance in LA, where the 49ers' fan base has repeatedly outnumbered the Rams' during games at SoFi Stadium, so much so that the city has become almost a second home for San Francisco supporters.
