49ers executive John Lynch has alarming comment about rampant fighting with Raiders fans
President of football operations and general manager John Lynch curiously addressed the fan brawls after the San Francisco 49ers' 38-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Lynch, the team's president of football operations and general manager, addressed the brawls that took place in the parking lot and inside Levi's Stadium during the 49ers' 38-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
"I was kind of pleased this is going pretty well throughout the game and then the fourth quarter broke out," Lynch said, according to the New York Post.
"You see videos after … it’s a shame but it kind of goes with the territory. It’s a shame to see those things, but it was a good hard-fought win for us. There was a lot of silver and black in the stadium that’s for sure."
The fighting was rampant throughout the game, as 45 people were ejected and nearly a dozen were arrested, Santa Clara police told SFGATE. Seven of the 11 people were arrested for disorderly conduct, while the other four were arrested for allegedly fighting in a public place.
"Incidents of violence at large-scale events in Santa Clara will not be tolerated," Santa Clara Police Department spokesperson Lt. Eric Lagergren told the outlet. "The Department strictly enforces the law and holds individuals accountable for criminal conduct. We will seek to arrest the individuals responsible for the fan-on-fan violence at the event."
The Battle of the Bay may not be as heated as it once was, but it's clear there is no love lost based on what happened Sunday. While Lynch was likely talking about the 49ers' win rather than the fans' performance in the parking lot brawl, it was still an eyebrow-raising comment.
