Good 'Ol Raider fans

A Baltimore Ravens fan remains in critical condition a day after suffering a head injury during an altercation with a pair of Oakland Raiders fans at the end of Sunday’s game at M&T Bank Stadium.

“My brother is in critical condition on life support over a football game,” Susan Bauer informed The Baltimore Sun of her 55-year-old brother, Joseph Bauer, of Jessup, Md. “We’re in shock over this. …

“You just don’t expect that you would go to a football game and someone would put you in intensive care. I just can’t even believe it’s happening.”

According to Susan Bauer’s account to the newspaper, Joseph suffered subdural hematoma — a collection of blood around the brain — when his head hit the concrete after he was struck during an argument with Raiders fans near a concession stand between the stadium’s third and fourth levels.

Doctors informed the family Joseph Bauer has a 30 percent chance of surviving the head injury, according to his sister. He was reportedly attending the game with his wife and another couple. Susan Bauer told the paper her brother was once an active member of the United States Marine Corps.

Police charged Westchester County, N.Y., residents Scott Smith, 28, and Andrew Nappi, 31, with both first- and second-degree assault, according to The Baltimore Sun. Nappi was released on $25,000 bail.

A. there was a fight. Don't know who started it.

B. Why are the winners of the fight always assumed to be the bad ones and at fault?

Two 30 year olds ganging up on a 55 year old...and they were arrested....and they were Raider Fans.

Yep. Been folks demonized on these boards with far less than that before

It is a game!!!!!!!!!!

we aren't allowed to make such comments in America these days. I would not like to see raiders fans in Vegas either. They are just such boys scouts you know. I see Boy Scouts wearing their gear all the time.

Every NFL team has "some" bad fans. I've been to games in Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Houston, Chicago, St. Louis, Cleveland, and Nashville. That's not many places, but I certainly got a feel for the quality of fans as a whole, and what's considered acceptable by these fans as a whole.

Bears fans and Cleveland fans are terrible, while the other city's fans are generally friendly. You'll see not see widespread mistreatment of the opposing team's fans in the other cities. In Chicago you'll not see local fans blink an eye at "Fucking cocksucker Detroit fans! Go fuck yourself." This, in front of his three young kids. It took this Indianapolis Colts fan to around and tell the guy to shut up, to which was responded with a "Fuck you". It did shut him up, however.

My brother once was in New York wearing Packer gear at stadium, when he stood up they all booed him, then he raised his hands like louder, and they got louder and he kept raising his hands to get louder and the fans started to laugh, get this, security came over and forced him to sit down. Again it is just a fu&^%* game!!!!!!!!!

DonDiego has been to almost all the NFL Stadia, . . . oftentimes wearing the visiting team regalia.

The worst-behaved fans he has encountered are, . . . not surprisingly, perhaps, . . . Philadelphia Eagles partisans. The week before Christmas last year the Cardinals whupped-up on the Eagles, . . . 40-17. Throughout the game the Philly fans nearby filled the air with cussin' and belligerent, even threatening, remarks. The most prominent words were the nouns, adjectives, verbs, and interjections derived from the "F-Word". Apparently the hooligans were educationally-unprepared to employ the adverb.

The New Orleans Saints fans were especially welcoming to out-of-town visitors. Real Southern Charm.

In Detroit teechur and DonDiego were seated in front of two middle-aged drunks, . . . more interested in dozing than causing any problems. Nearby visitor were somewhat put-off by this. The Lions fans calmed the fans near the drunks assuring everyone they were like this every week and wouldn't cause any disturbance or problems, . . . and they didn't.
It was sorta charming in an odd sort of way.

At the commencement of the Cardinals at Bears game last year, a drunk Chicago fan threw a cup of beer at teechur and DonDiego immediately after the Cardinals scored a TD on the first play of the game. The missile fell short and doused two elderly Bears fans nearby. The drunk was escorted off the premises.

Pittsburgh fans were nearly all pleasant and fun to chat with and banter over the relative merits of the Steelers and the visiting Eagles. teechur and DonDiego floated to the game on a boat across the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers into the Ohio; one fan threatened to throw poor old DonDiego overboard but, apparently, it was in jest.

Raiders fans were somewhat intimidating in the parking lot, . . . but there were no problems in the stadium.

Jaguar fans were downright happy, . . . glad to even have a team and pleasant to teechur and DonDiego. The Jaguar mascot, Jaxon de Ville, was especially comical interacting with the fans, . . . and pantomiming immoral relations with his cheerleaders.

We made it all this way without having to mention what color the people were

yay us
