#NFL Seeing a lot of hate towards #KyleShanahan because the #Niners lost. Move on. Perhaps being a Scot helps, we have #KingRobertTheBruce to remember how to handle defeat. Even after the many lost battles during #WarsOfScottishIndependence he didn’t give up, the tide eventually turned and he kept going right up to #Bannockburn. You can’t truly savour the great wins if you’ve never suffered the worst losses. Learn from your mistakes. Get ready for the next season! #NinersFaithful #NeverGiveUp
