The NFL Rivalry That WAS BANNED
high intensity Bad Blood passionate fan bases are the lifeblood of NFL rivalries while rivalries are often settled on the Gridiron the rivals that would cause the NFL to take drastic action and ban all further meetings between the two teams game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Oakland Raiders turning violent this weekend take a look at this video taken inside Candlestick Park where fans from both teams pummeled each other with punch after punch but it didn’t end there police are also investigating not one but two shootings that happened

demanded on that team rivalry Amplified by their proximity and their polar reputations [Music] the Raiders have often been referred to as the criminal element of pro football the franchise defined in the 1970s due to their hyper aggressive play style they quickly developed a reputation as the dirtiest team in the NFL whether it was kicking punching or clotheslining the Raiders did it to maximum effect and with owner Al Davis and head coach John Madden at the helm the Oakland Raiders experienced repeated
success winning a total of six division titles during the 1970s and winning Super Bowl 11 against the Minnesota Vikings and Super Bowl 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles in 1980 and again reaching the Super Bowl in 2002 and losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers however the Raiders notorious reputation reached beyond the men in the arena the NFL’s most notorious fan base feared just as much as the ruthless Raiders that ruled the field the Raiders black hole as it came to be known struck fear into rival teams and fans alike
adding to an already mean and nasty reputation the Raiders developed through the course of their franchise history the 49ers led by quarterback Joe Montana and receiver Jerry Rice found constant success throughout the 1980s and 90s winning four Super Bowls with Montana at the helm and one in 94 was Steve Young at quarterbacks while the Raiders defined their franchise through their hard-hitting dirty style of play the 49ers defined theirs with finesse discipline in precision the 49er faithful as the fan base became
known was always viewed by the Raider fan base as spoiled and demeaning to Raider fans and would exacerbate the Rivalry between the two Bay Area teams Marcus Allen number 77 Bubba Paris against Townsend here but he said he wants to dominate he’s trying to win two out of three Falls there it’s a wide open field kind of lets up a little bit at the Ender and takes a good shot okay that’s good your heart heart [Music] prior to the merger in 1966 which would combine the AFL and NFL the Oakland Raiders and the San Francisco 49ers had
never faced each other but that would all change in 1967. the first matchup with the Oakland Raiders and the 49ers were the battle of the bay as it would come to be known would draw 53 254 fans the regular season had not even started and the stands were packed with rabid Raider and 49ers fans alike this would be an all-out War a few months prior on June 16th both teams had a meeting to decide where the first game would take place the Raiders represented by Senator Jim Otto and the 49ers represented by defensive end Clark
Miller flipped a coin animosity was apparent between the two teams gemato States if we had played the game that day I would have kicked Miller’s butt I was ready to go to war I didn’t like the 49ers they tried to make us feel inferior GM for the Raiders Scotty Sterling would stay there’s never been a Bay Area game that had more importance that was an emotional time I hated the 49ers it went back to the old San Francisco rivalry thing feelings were high the Raiders won the flip and the infamous Battle of the bay rivalry would
kick off in the Oakland Coliseum [Music] and what would be a closely contested match the 49ers managed to seal a victory after two crucial fumbles by the Oakland Raiders in the final minutes of the game the start of the 49ers and Raiders preseason rivalry would end in tragedy 44 years later once the game ended the violence escalated where two separate shootings left two men in their 20s recovering in the hospital the first official Battle of the Bay game would take place in week 14 of the 1970 season a game San Francisco needed to win to
make the playoffs the John Brody LED 49ers faced off against the George glanda LED Raiders and despite the Raiders physical no prisoners approach the 49ers won-handedly 38-7 the 1970s for the Raiders was one of consistent Improvement but for the 49ers was one of deterioration in 1974 the now Ken Stabler LED Oakland Raiders travel to Candlestick Park and won the game 35-25 with a stout hard-hitting Raiders defense creating five turnovers during the 76th season Oakland would go on to win their first Super Bowl while
the 49ers struggled to gain a winning record back in Oakland sellout crowd at the Oakland Alameda Coliseum and it’s quite a rivalry even though the Raiders are a contending club and the 49ers are rebuilding team there’s a lot of feeling about these two teams in the Bay Area Rob you’re right you can tell that by the number of people that turned out to see this game a lot of 49er fans have come across the bay Hendricks on a blitz he’s lucky he didn’t break a rip in 1979 the Raiders now led by head coach Tom Flores and with the likes of Ken Stabler
Jack Tatum and Gene Upshaw made the easy work of the 49ers a team that was now in the rebuilding phase with new head coach Bill Walsh at the helm former assistant coach to the Raiders the Raiders out-muscled and out willed the Bill Walsh LED 49ers in a packed Alameda Raiders stadium winning 23-10 the 49ers would end the season 2 and 14.
at the end of the 1970s the Raiders led the Rivalry 2-1 however the next Battle of the bay would not include the Oakland Raiders thank you the battle of the bay was no more at least for now as Oakland moved down to Los Angeles after Al Davis was unable to improve the aging and damage Coliseum however the Raiders moved to LA did little to calm the hostility between the two hey incomplete intended for Hawkins who’s the craziest teammate you ever had uh Charles Haley that’s not that’s not hard Charles has hit hit the glass and
he hit he broke the glass he’s crazy Charles is crazy for real how we long got very angry at Bob McKittrick and he thought they were cut blocking Howie Long ran over to the kitchen and he was screaming at the kitchen called a bald-headed mother blank I had a little action you know if someone’s going to be in it’s going to be Howie Long coming off the Super Bowl win the 49ers now led by Future Hall of Famer Joe Montana now had the necessary Firepower to defeat Oakland but rookie running back Marcus Allen had different plans in mind
Allen would rush for 116 yards foreign Montana’s Valiant effort the now LA Raiders won 23-17 one of the rivalry’s most infamous Games took place in 1985. coming off their 1985 Super Bowl win the 49ers who are now the definitive favorites in the matchup Against the Wild Card LA Raiders the Raiders were led by quarterback Jim Plunkett former quarterback for the 49ers Plunkett would be under constant arrest for the entirety of the game tasting the turf nine times and on the sixth and final sack by the 49ers defensive front
he would Mark the end of Plunkett’s career in the NFL the most infamous incident of the game would star NFL legend in future Hall of Famer Howie Long defensive end for the Raiders oh after the game Howie ran over to the 49ers offensive line coach Bob McKittrick hysterically screaming at him for employing dirty cut blocking tactics throughout the game the push he’s talking about depth in the pocket yelling at him with every expletive imaginable stating you bald-headed long chased McKittrick into the tunnel with 49ers players holding back the
charging defensive end long can be heard from the stands yelling and screaming about the 49ers dirty blocking tactics has long exited the stadium they reported that he was noticeably limping fellow lineman Greg Townsend had this to say regarding mckittrick’s blocking tactics they were delaying their blocks letting us get by them then as soon as we had our backs to them they’d come after our legs that’s dirty football mckittrick’s dirty reputation was widespread in the league in a book titled dark side of the game by former

three points Bill Walsh was humiliated losing against Al Davis and the Raiders in such a dramatic fashion the antithesis of everything the 49ers were and stood for in 1991 the LA Raiders rivalry with the San Francisco 49ers would reach a fever pitch 49ers star safety and Hall of Famer Ronnie La alongside All Pro 49ers running back Roger Craig would now be in silver and black in front of 91 000 fans this was a prime opportunity to show the 49ers how big a mistake they made hey guys you see the guy that made the hit was
Ronnie a lot tension and hostility were apparent throughout the game whether it was Raider fans cheering after Generations we’re a scuffle after nearly every play the notoriety of this 91 matchup between these two Rivals would center around one player Charles Haley throughout the course of the game Haley a man with an infamously violent and erratic temperament became increasingly upset as the game went on Haley was Furious that the 49ers had let lot go the previous season friend on the other side and losing a game to a team they should have beaten
sent Haley over the edge [Music] foreign destroying the locker room concerned for his own safety in the safety of the other players the 49ers told Ronnie Lott to come and help calm down the irate Haley [Music] the series was now five and two the Raiders had established their dominance the 49ers team that had dominated the 80s had trouble doing so against their rivals and what would be the final matchup with the Raiders in Los Angeles the 49ers were hell-bent on turning the tide and there was only one man who could
turn the Rivalry on its head [Music] Jerry Rice was just three touchdowns away from passing Jim Brown for the career touchdown record and the Raiders would do everything in their power to avoid being showed up on Monday Night Football but the Raiders physical play that letter to tame the greatest receiver in NFL history Jim Brown’s record was no more led by Rice’s electric performance the 49ers would dominate the Raiders 44-14 the 49ers continued their dominant play into the 95 Super Bowl defeating the San Diego Chargers
[Music] in 2000 the battle between these two iconic franchises would return to the Bay foreign the Raiders returned to Oakland would be met with the most intense and closely contested Battle of the Bay of all time the game would boil down to a battle of quarterback and their number one receivers Tim Brown and Terrell Owens were Unstoppable and evenly matched the Raiders applied pressure on Garcia but to no effect at the end of regulation the game was tied 28-28 it was headed into overtime overtime in the NFL is one of the most
intense moments in all of sports emotions are Amplified and senses are heightened Wayne rookie the game is on the line what are you going to do over the middle and controversial first round pick Sebastian Janikowski took the field looking to seal the win because now Garcia and the 49ers turn to make their final push and just as the previous four quarters had gone Owens would be the Catalyst for the 49ers victory or so they thought the Raiders moved the ball steadily downfield and as janakowski warms up on the
sideline preparing for one of the most important kicks of his young career Gannon and Tim Brown decided to win the game on their own in 2002 we would see both teams at their finest and while the packed Oakland Coliseum now known as the black hole was packed full of raider and Niner fans alike this would be the most competitive Battle of the bay in history many of the fans thought they were seeing double Jerry Rice was now a Raider facing his former team for the first time since his departure the Raiders made a point of trying to
evolve him early much like in the 49ers previous encounter with the Raiders Garcia would rely on their number one playmaker tensions were high the battle of the bay would become a war at the end of the fourth quarter with Garcia and Garrison Hearst marching down field much like the battle of the Bay of 2000 the game rested firmly on the kicker Jose Cortez and will receive the 49ers would emphatically March the ball down field with Jeff’s Garcia putting his body on the line the 49ers were soon in field goal
position [Music] in 2002 the Raiders and 49ers would both make a playoff push and it would be the closest both teams have ever gotten to meeting in the Super Bowl the Oakland Raiders would face the 49ers twice in 2006 and 2010. in 2006 the Raiders decided to add some Firepower to their offense by acquiring one of the greatest receivers in history Randy Moss but this upgrade would do little to help the Raiders chances against the 49ers as they managed to throw four interceptions losing 34-20
in 2010 the Raiders and 49ers were struggling to find their identity the Raiders the team that emphasized speed on offense and physicality on defense yeah failed to be productive on both ends of the balls while the 49ers struggling in the pass game relied on their cow running game Frank Gore would run for 145 yards and would win the game 17-9 the series was now tied six to six through the 49ers and Raiders intense rivalry over the course of over 40 years the Rivalry would reach its climax in 2011. the police are now searching for
those responsible for actually a pair of shootings in a beating on an NFL preseason game over the weekend now these matchups in the past have turned very very ugly back in 2011 as you mentioned there were multiple acts of violence including a shooting and a beating among fans in one of the most in this incident incident about history the fierce rivalry known as the battle of the bay had spilled over from the Gridiron and into a state of lawlessness two men remain in the hospital after being shot at different locations in
that parking lot another man was beaten unconscious during the game inside of a stadium bath they are looking to see if team loyalty may have played into any of these attacks one local man from the Bay Area stated being from the Bay Area I’m rather close to this rivalry have watched this rivalry in action it’s always been on the brink of exploding into tragedy but has laid dormant for years during their annual Battle of the Bay preseason game a series of incidents would occur that would cause the NFL to ban off further preseason matchups
between the two teams during the third quarter a man was beaten unconscious in an upper-level Stadium bathroom sustaining life-threatening injuries captured on video and posted on YouTube where at least two major brawls no medical tension was required and therefore was not officially reported however the worst was yet to come after the game two men would be gunned down foreign two separate incidents that would be linked by their fandom of the men injured during the incident was wearing an expletive and 49er shirt
and the other was believed to be a Raiders fan [Music] both men were deemed to be in critical condition and were immediately rushed to the hospital this would Mark as one of the deadliest incidents in NFL history I saw them with horror I mean they were just constant wailing at each other without regard to who was there not for people to be looking at who they don’t like or saying some bad words and then getting into it an investigation would ensue many questioned the 49ers security measures but Sergeant Michael and dry
check of the San Francisco Police Department said police and Stadium security officials assign extra staff to games between teams with strong rivalries or whose fans have a History of Violence the 49ers Raiders contest fit both those criteria and extra police were on hand this increase in police presence did little to quell the violence that would engulf Candlestick Park Bush this past week made this startling but painfully true observation that an American Soldier on duty in the Persian Gulf may have been safer there than on
the streets of his hometown [Music] sources close to the investigation would soon disclose that the Candlestick Park violence may have been gang-related a rivalry between two groups notorious for their crimes in California which would end in two men critically injured being rushed to the hospital it should be noted that just three years prior during a 49ers and Raiders matchup that gunshots were fired the annual pre-season Battle of the bay would be banned until 2021 where the Raiders were now in Las Vegas however due to a scheduling rule that
states that each team must face each other at least every four years the battle of the bay rivalry was not done Oakland California [Music] overly cautious you know he’s got a good relationship video surfaces of attack and Levi’s Stadium yesterday [Music] in 2014 prior to the game NFL officials alerted the Alameda sheriff’s office about the possibility of violent altercations and to heighten security as much as possible for the first battle of the bay since the 2011 shooting the 49ers would go to the Oakland Coliseum
and then a hard-fought match the Raiders would emerge Victorious with a rookie quarterback Derek Carr leading the charge throughout the course of the game the police were called to investigate 49 incidents highest total in any regular season NFL games between 2011 and 2015. in an article on fan violence by The Washington Post a moment after Oakland quarterback Derek Carr passed for a touchdown a woman in the upper deck stood to cheer a man sitting behind her a police report described shoved her so hard she flipped over the next row when
the woman’s boyfriend turned the man behind him Shrugged sorry bro he said after the game concluded and the Oakland Raiders came out Victorious the violence would only escalate after a man was beaten in the parking lot Gravely disabled from his injuries two 49er fans were also arrested after a video posted to social media showed the two men beating multiple people in the restroom just a couple of Miles Away in a dispute between fans a security guard was shot after trying to break up the altar at the end of the day 25 fans would end
up in jail 2018 would be the final battle of the Bay and the fans wanted to let the Rivalry go out on the high note as numerous brawls broke out around the stadium caught on a cell phone video a man can be seen with a after an intense altercation with a rival fan they arrested him and charged him with felony battery that was just one of the three arrests for assault they made on Game Night 31 fans were arrested and 93 fans were kicked out of the stadium the arrest total for last night’s game did exceed the arrest total for any
event in the last year and a half we approached the game with significant Staffing increases in both uniform and non-uniformed officers given the Rivalry of these teams involved we had been preparing for this event ever since the NFL schedule was published back in April the 49ers would route the US and Raiders 34-3 one-handed grab in [Music] 2019 season Mayhem engulfed the Oakland Coliseum the Raiders were moving to Las Vegas after Al Davis’s son Mark Davis played with similar problems that his father endured was unable to replace or
renovate the Aging Oakland Coliseum leading to their departure in the Raiders final home game they would blow a 16-3 lead against the Jacksonville Jaguars and would lose the game 20-16 booze Echo throughout the rundown Coliseum as fans threw food and drink onto the turf while many also rushed the field the Oakland era of the Raiders was over a rivalry that lasted nearly 50 years creating some of the most thrilling and Infamous moments not one but two
shootings that happened outside the stadium after the game was over well unfortunately this is just another example in a string of recent sporting events where fans have crossed the line
