The San Francisco 49ers may have put the final nail in the coffin of their nightmare 2024 season on Thursday night when they lost a 12-6 game to the Los Angeles Rams to drop to 6-8 on the year.
Many of the team’s issues have been off the field and in the locker room, and one analyst sounded off Friday morning on one player he deemed a “traitor.”
On Friday morning’s episode of “The Facility,” Emmanuel Acho called linebacker De’Vondre Campbell a “traitor” after he refused to enter the game in the third quarter and walked off the field in the fourth quarter, adding “Players got broken bones, torn ligaments, and have lost children…and all you have is a bruised ego?”

He is right, as linebacker Fred Warner plays through a broken bone in his ankle.
At the same time, Trent Williams and Charvarius Ward both lost infants this year, and Ricky Pearsall got shot, which makes Campbell’s walkout even tougher to understand.
For context, Campbell came off the bench on Thursday night because linebacker Dre Greenlaw returned from the torn Achilles he suffered in the Super Bowl in February.
When Greenlaw left due to Achilles soreness in the third quarter, Campbell refused to enter the game.
Many on the Niners buried Campbell in their postgame press conferences, and it’s hard to believe Campbell doesn’t get cut soon because of what he did.
It’ll be interesting to see if another team even gives Campbell a shot after this stunt.
