- John Lynch called the violence a shame but said it went with the territory.

## Summary

Fist fights and brawls broke out among 49ers and Raiders supporters during and after their game at Levi’s Stadium last Sunday. San Francisco general manager John Lynch called the scenes a shame, but said they “kind of go with the territory”, a remark that drew attention because it could be read as accepting violence as part of the rivalry.

The article says more than 100 fights were reported at the stadium, with clashes also said to have extended to Fremont Street in Las Vegas. Videos showed fans with blood and bruises. Lynch’s intended meaning is unclear; he may have been referring to the long-running rivalry, which began when the teams were based on opposite sides of San Francisco Bay.
