Sf 49ers vs oakland raiders play by play9/17/2023 I understand that this was a singular incident, if this happened every year between the 49ers and Raiders, they wouldn't have had the privilege of playing each other at this point.īut there also is a disturbing trend in rivalries nowadays. They make sports more interesting, where one win a season can make some fans happy as long as it came against their bitter rivals.īut there's a clear line between bantering and taking it a step further, when debate turns into a life-threatening situation. Rivalries are so exciting because they bring out the passion of diehards. I've gotten into, shall we say, debates with Raiders fans inside stadiums, being a 49ers fan. It brings up the question, is the NFL right in banning the 49ers and Raiders from playing each other in the preseason or is this an overreaction? Keep in mind, this comes just five months after San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow was beaten into a coma on Opening Day outside Dodgers Stadium, allegedly by Dodgers fans. Still, you never are quite prepared for news like this. It's always been on the brink of exploding into tragedy, but has laid dormant for years. To that, I look at it as every pile after a tackle – nobody knows where everyone’s hands have been.The 26-year-old man who was beaten unconscious in the bathroom has been upgraded from serious to fair condition.īeing from the Bay Area, I'm rather close to this rivalry. Whether the Raiders play at China Basin, East Oakland, or Timbuktu next year, the lawsuit filed by the City of Oakland against the NFL and the Raiders is likely to continue. That’s despite the fact that the 49ers don’t play their home games within SF city limits. So it would appear that the Raiders need express permission from the 49ers to play in SF. In fact, the only other two-team NFL markets (NY and LA) either have a shared stadium or are building one. No other two-team market is codified this way. In respect to the area included in the home territory of both clubs, but located outside the city limits of both cities, both clubs shall have joint rights of exclusivity, and both of said clubs may play games with other clubs in the League within such area without the consent of the other club also operating in the same home territory or any part thereof. The home club in each city shall have the exclusive right to exhibit professional football games played by teams in the League in its city, and neither the San Francisco nor the Oakland club shall have any right to play professional football in the city of the other without the consent of the other club. In respect to the San Francisco and Oakland franchises the following provisions shall apply: (A) Whenever any two member clubs, other than the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders, are located and hold franchises for different cities within 100 miles of each other measured from the exterior corporate limits of the city, then the territorial rights of each of such clubs only extend to and include an area of one-half the distance between such cities. “Home Territory” with respect to any club means the city in which such club is located and for which it holds a franchise and plays its home games and includes the surrounding territory to the extent of 75 miles in every direction from the exterior corporate limits of the city, except as follows: That would make the NFL’s general by-laws about T-rights pretty straightforward: Historically, the NFL has been more prone to teams moving than expansion, with teams generally moving to new markets. There haven’t been many instances where NFL T-rights had to be defended, though the LA situation could have been trickier had only one team been there for an extended period when the other moved in. Not so much coverage of the NFL’s T-rights. We’ve exhaustively covered MLB’s territorial rights here on this blog. Still, the Raiders playing in SF has to be insulting for at least some Raider fans. It would only be a temporary stop as the Raiders await their palace under construction in Vegas. To add insult to injury, the Raiders have started talks with the Giants to play the 2019 season at AT&T Park. “Ballpark” is the new “multi-purpose stadium”
