49ers embarrassed
by earlier video

The in-house video featuring racist jokes, lesbian soft-core porn, and topless blond women that embarrassed the San Francisco 49ers last week wasn't the first offensive video that the team's disgraced public relations director made. The team acknowledged Tuesday that a video made in 2003 by Kirk Reynolds contained "objectionable content showing bikini-clad women." A copy of the video, obtained by San Francisco television station KRON, shows Reynolds in a strip club, in a restroom stall, and in the shower. The video shows a lap dancer burying a 49ers staffer's head in her bosom. "The video is offensive in every manner," team lawyer Ed Goines said in a statement. "We deeply regret that anyone from our organization would produce such senseless, inexcusable material. Policies have been put into place to ensure that nothing like this happens in the future. The individuals responsible for the video are no longer employed by the team." Reynolds was unavailable for comment late Tuesday night. He said last week that the 2004 video was a "terrible mistake" and apologized "to anybody who was offended." The 2003 tape did not include any racist or homophobic jokes or any scenes from Mayor Gavin Newsom's office like last year's edition did. The release of the 2004 video to the San Francisco Chronicle last week caused outrage on the part of the mayor, the city's gay leaders, and the team's owners. (AP)
