Controversial 49ers Video Draws More Than 200,000 Hits

Portions of a San Francisco 49ers training video that has sparked criticism from gay-rights groups and city officials for its racism and nudity were viewed more than 200,000 times today after being posted on the San Francisco Chronicle Web site, editors said.

"There were a lot of discussions about it in the newsroom, questions about its suitability," Editor Phil Bronstein told E&P about the decision to place it online. "The Web can have different standards not covered by the FCC."
