Making the statement that there is no place for fan on fan violence but the person that got stabbed must have been looking for attention wearing their Cowboys jersey to a 49er game.

It sounds a lot like when a woman wearing a short dress is assaulted by a man and people blaming her saying she was looking for attention. Blaming the victim is not the answer in either incident.

Seriously, do any of you people who are making this about the Cowboys fan’s decision to wear his team’s colors actually go to football games?

Every game I’ve ever been to in several stadiums around the country, there have been fans from non-competing teams in their own colors.

I used to have a guy in a Packers shirt sit close by me every game at Texas Stadium.

Banter yes. Bloodshed no.

It will be interesting to see how Jed York tries to blame this lastet incident of violence at Candelstick on Raider fans.

COwboy fans are always looking for trouble. These idiots show up to Redskins games all the time when the cowgirls aren’t playing wearing their crappy star. They should learn not to wear that god awful looking jersey in another team’s stadium when they aren’t even playing there. Cowgirl fans are only looking for trouble. IDIOTS!

I have a feeling the new stadium will weed out a lot of the type of people that bring weapons to the 49ers games. Personally I don’t wear my gear to visiting stadiums and ballparks because there are usually a lot of losers like Viana and Arguelles hanging out looking for trouble.

No justification for stabbing anybody, but there are some areas you probably shouldn’t go and wear another teams jersey. I lived in L.A. a few years back but I never wore my Cowboys stuff out to games. There is a gang element in California that doesn’t exist everywhere. Fans have to be smarter.

I wore my Panther Jersey to the Bears vs 49ers thursday night game a few years back, only two people said something to me. The Packer fan that was wearing his Packers jersey who was rooting for the 49ers to beat the Bears, and a drunk 49er fan, who didnt really say much after I told him “dont bite off more than you can chew”, Im 6-3 280 pounds, not the biggest, but big enough to stomp a mud hole in someones head if they want to start something.

Fans that drink that liquid courage are the ones who are ruining the NLF experience at the stadiums.

So why were the police so quick to come out on Sunday and say it was not fan on fan and not related to team loyalties?

I mean at BEST they had no idea what happened in which case they were lying by saying it definitely wasn’t, and at WORST they knew that it was in fact fan on fan and lied about it.

Either way, they were lying. Why?

You may want to ask that question to packer fans too. They also show up at games when their team is not playing with packer jerseys on.

One thing is certain. I think people will pause before taunting ANY fans of other teams, and frankly , there should be respect between fans.

People teasing and insulting should be restricted to the anonymous cowards that insult teams on this site regularly. They know what the alternative is if the ever did it in real life UNFORTUNATELY.

In all sports there is a little bit of teasing and rivalry, but know where to draw the line, make sure people have your back or find some security.

Unfortunately, wearing an opponent’s jersey to either Candlestick Park or the Oakland Coliseum is hardly the healthy thing to do. I would suggest that opposing fans not make a fashion statement by adorning themselves with colors of the Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, or any other foe that the Niners or Raiders happen to be hosting to their beloved venues. I’ve seen it firsthand . . . drunk, belligerent idiots at the Stick urinating down from the upper deck onto fans of the Cowboys down below. I’m not a Dallas fan, but c’mon man. This crap happened back in the 80′s, so hopefully security has stepped up in recent years to stop it from happening today.

The guy wear his teams colors to a game his team isn’t playing. He should expect some ribbing not a knife in them. Maybe he was visiting a friend. This is totally on those two pillars of society who couldn’t differentiate between a sporting event and a gang initiation. I hope their cell doesn’t get the playoffs!

“Why would anyone turn up to a Niners – Giants game wearing a Cowboys jersey???”

To hide his Romney For President t-shirt.

I’m a Titans fan, and I ALWAYS invite opposing fans over to have a beer at our tailgate. Some seem really surprised.

I can also say I’ve only attended one away game and it was in Atlanta last season. The Falcons beat us but I have to say all the Falcons fans I encountered were very cool.

I don’t know whats worse, American football fans or Soccer Hooligans in Europe. People take these games way to seriously, like the have something to gain if their team wins or not. IT”S A GAME PEOPLE!

New Orleans is a beautiful city and the people are awesome, still doesn’t change the fact that Morelli and his fellow officiating crew threw the game for the Saints. High/low hit right in front of him while he’s looking right at it not called even though there was special 2 week training at the beginning of the season to inforce the Brady rule any hit to the QB below the knees. Beyond suspect, the NFL needs to investigate his finances but they won’t because it will open a can of worms that will make bounty gate and the Patriots taping look small in comparison.

To all the people saying “typical 49er fan”…I’ve been a 49er fan all of my life, and can proudly say that in 38 years, I have never, to my knowledge, stabbed anybody. I am particularly proud of this achievement because everything I read says that as a 49er fan, I should be going strapped to games and exhibiting loud and classless behavior.
Am I lacking in some way??? When I go to a game, I sit in my seat or stand up, cheer in a respectable fashion, and leave when the game is over without altercation. What am I doing wrong?

Candlestick is in one of the most dangerous and gang infested areas of NorCal. This is gang related no doubt.

There are a lot of fan bases that need to chill out a little bit. It’s just a game, guys.

I wore my Texans jersey into Indianapolis a couple of years ago and was threatened a couple of times on the way out of the stadium.

@nowillrepeat

You are correct, I attended the Saints/Lions playoff game last year and people thanked me for coming to the city and asked if I was enjoying myself.

I am a life long Lion fan but I found myself wanting to go back and visit the city and the Superdome.

Does this mean Merrill Hoge will be on ESPN calling all 49er fans “sickening whether they were involved in this or not” like he did to Chiefs fans?

Isn’t it odd we make more out of the Steeler or any person caught with a DUI than a stabbing. I hate to say it but no wonder other countries look at us and shake their heads.

Who is “we”? I would assume you mean PFT, and the answer is because PFT stands for Pro Football Talk. If you don’t like what they cover, you’re more than welcome to go read Bay Area Crime Report Talk.

Your comment was stupid enough without having to drag America into it, so I’m not going to even address that. If you don’t want football, don’t read about football, just go vote for your president who refused repeated requests to upgrade security at the American compound in Benghazi compound because he didn’t want too look like he had made a mistake during election season. That’s what people should be shaking their heads about.

Most rave about how bad Raider fans are but as you can see its not just the Nation. Hint, 49er fans have always been like this…

Leave it to the classless 49ers fans to stab someone. Bet it makes Harbaugh proud, literally.
