Questioning the decision, Nacua said, “We’re an hour away from each other, why are we getting sent there [Australia]?”
Warner responded by pointing to the league’s global ambitions, saying, “They trying to make worldwide moves. They want us on that jet going 20 hours to Down Under.”
Nacua followed with a light-hearted remark before circling back to the topic of home games.
He said, “I love kangaroos, but I want to see them when I play somebody across the country.”
When Warner noted that the Rams would lose a home game while the 49ers would not, Nacua delivered the comment that drew the most attention.
Nacua said, “Honestly, at SoFi, there’s not too many home games.”
Warner immediately reacted, replying, “Honestly, that’s a blow to us. Let’s be real.”
