Yesterday, Jamie Matthews surprised even his close friends and political associates when he announced he was relinquishing his seat as Santa Clara Mayor immediately after his city hosted Super Bowl 50. Matthews’s abrupt resignation clearly demonstrates a failure on the part of the 49ers, who seem to have no issue with putting their political allies in difficult and unfavorable positions. The 49ers have a history of contributing large sums of money to elections and then making their political allies look bad by breaking promises to the community. Their treatment of Matthews appeared no different. It was only a matter of time before Matthews chose to spend more time with his family over fielding complaints about the 49ers.

Matthews, whose resignation goes into effect today, still had two years of his term still left.
