SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA - Aaron Salkin was named the San Francisco 49ers' director of public relations on Monday, replacing an administrator who resigned during a scandal surrounding an offensive training video.<br>

Kirk Reynolds quit in early June after the video was leaked to a newspaper. The video produced by Reynolds to coach players on their attitudes toward the media and the public featured strippers, racial slurs about the Chinese community, a mock lesbian wedding and Reynolds' impersonation of San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom.<br>

Salkin was fired by the Atlanta Falcons last August after six seasons as the club's director of football communications. He previously worked for the New York Giants.
