What led to the brawl between fans of San Francisco 49ers and Las Vegas Raiders?
There is a long and troubled history behind the rivalry between the San Francisco 49ers and the Las Vegas Raiders. The NFL made a strict decision after the rivalry took a nasty turn twelve years ago. On August 20, 2011, during a preseason game between the two teams, the team’s supporters engaged in a deadly brawl.
Unquestionably, that incident was among the worst in NFL history and the authorities decided to call off the preseason games between the 49ers and Raiders. Although the recent match was the first pre-season game featuring San Francisco 49ers vs. Las Vegas Raiders since 2011, the recent incident proves that animosity is still present between the fans of these two teams.
