ESPN · Jun 8, 2026, 9:25 PM

Key takeaways

  • Paired with a caption that reads "If you scared just say dat," Aiyuk spent most of the 91 seconds of the video describing an unspecified entity as "little boys" and "female dogs" who are afraid.
  • Aiyuk starts the video by comparing who he is "dealing with" to kids who don't get picked for a basketball game, so they take their ball and go home.
  • But what they not gonna say is 'BA suck at football,' cause they know how I get.

Why this matters: a sports story that could shift standings, legacies, or fan conversations.

Paired with a caption that reads "If you scared just say dat," Aiyuk spent most of the 91 seconds of the video describing an unspecified entity as "little boys" and "female dogs" who are afraid. Aiyuk never explicitly mentions the 49ers by name, but a logical interpretation of the video is that he believes the team is afraid to release him because he could land elsewhere and eventually make them regret letting him go.

Aiyuk starts the video by comparing who he is "dealing with" to kids who don't get picked for a basketball game, so they take their ball and go home. He then went on to say that someone -- presumably the Niners -- are afraid of how he could come back to haunt them if he plays football elsewhere.

"Stop running from the bill," Aiyuk said. "The bill coming. You scared. They scared. Truth is, they scared. They know how I get. They gonna say, 'Oh yeah, BA, BA, BA did this. BA did that. BA did, you know, that s---, allegedly. Allegedly. But what they not gonna say is 'BA suck at football,' cause they know how I get. And they running from that bill that's on the way. It's inevitable. It's coming. Stop running. Stop being a female dog. Stop being a little cat. Stop running from that bill."
