Bronco Billy Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Harrell said police took a man in a Raiders jersey off a party bus before it left the stadium and were calling him a suspect. Well, there's some shocking news... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathpig Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I had season tickets to the niners for 3 years. Every year, the niners have a preseason game against the Raiders. Every one of these preseason games was a nightmare to attend because of all the drunken brawls and near riots. I'm really surprised that more people haven't been shot over the years because the tension runs pretty high every single one of those games.

BearBroncos Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I think the 49er fans are becoming more Oaklandish by the hour. Can't go to any sport with a beat down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_am_the_swammi Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 In Europe, its called "hooliganism"....except that since guns are hard to come by, they just beat the poop out of each other.

Chargerz Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Try going to a Charger/Raider game. The parking lot and stands are like a battle zone with liquored-up fans going at each other. I sell my tickets to that game every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Stow is a SF Giants fan who was beaten by dumbass LA Dodger fans. The two people shot are SF Niner fans shot by a Oakland Raiders fan.

BeeR Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Why should the players have all the fun with violent crimes? Pillars of society like Vick and "Ray Ray" would be proud proud. PS to those about to have a hissy: I am not making light of these crimes. Any innocent person being shot is horrible of course. Just saying it's another example IMO of how in the sewer the NFL has slowly but surely gone over the years IMO - players and fans alike. In fact, given the growing number of knuckle-draggers that attend games and the silly price of tickets, I'm amazed anyone attends em.

piratesownninjas Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 i read 4 times in stomach Geez. The Raider fans mentality is asinine. The whole black hole misfit thing is beyond stupid. They deserve Al Davis living to 400 years old and find new ways to run that franchise into the ground. I know, it's a bit of a knee jerk reaction.

BeeR Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I hear you but not at the level we have now; it's not just more media attention. And it's not just outright criminals, but the whole obnoxious loser ahole mentality in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montster Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 http://www.mercurynews.com/southbayfootball/ci_18734376 Booze crackdown coming to 49ers games as annual Raiders grudge matches canceled By Mike Rosenberg, Sean Maher and Tim Kawakami Staff writers Posted: 08/22/2011 04:18:26 PM PDT Updated: 08/22/2011 04:24:37 PM PDT Spurred by an uprising of violence over the weekend, the 49ers and Raiders on Monday sacked future installments of their annual exhibition game as officials pledged to crack down on drunk and unruly fans at Candlestick Park, limit tailgating and stop alcohol sales late in games. 49ers CEO Jed York said Monday the team would ask the NFL, which schedules preseason exhibitions, to indefinitely postpone the annual preseason game with the Raiders, known as the "Battle of the Bay." Standing alongside York, San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr promised DUI checkpoints outside the 49ers stadium after every home game this year. The team will also stop selling alcohol in the 4th quarter, possibly earlier if the crowd is getting unruly, said Jim Mercurio, who is charge of stadium operations and security at Candlestick. Team officials promised more police in the parking lot and stadium during games and said vehicles will not be allowed into the parking lot or on local streets for tailgating until four hours before kickoff. The team will also ban tailgating during and after games -- a tactic adopted from other NFL teams. Mayor Ed Lee pledged a "focus on alcohol management" during games and called on season ticket holders to be more responsible when selling individual game tickets online.

Normally get soaked by beer, fights breakout and the cussing is just ridiculous. It's funny the difference from a baseball game to a football game. Night and day. Granted, I personally love going to football games. That's part of the ora of going, IMHO. It's just not meant for children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
