San Francisco 49ers players admitted they saw fights between fans during a game.

While the 49ers prevailed in the “Battle of the Bay” rivalry with a 38-17 victory, players from San Francisco couldn’t ignore what was taking place in the stands.

49ers defensive tackle Keion White had his first taste of the putrid rivalry and told reporters after the game that he witnessed one of the many fights that were taking place inside of Levi’s Stadium, from the sideline.

“Man, I think we seen somebody fight in the stands,” White told reporters. “Yeah, so we saw people fighting in the stands.

“But for us, you can never let the game be bigger than what it is,” White said in reference to the 49ers rivalry with the Raiders.

“It’s just the next opponent. Now we move to the next opponent, which is Dallas.”

It’s unknown which fight exactly White and his teammates saw, but the commotion was taking place throughout the entirety of the game.

While most of the fights that occurred were between Raiders and 49ers fans, there were a few that popped up of 49ers fans fighting each other.

In some of the videos that emerged, fans were seen fighting each other on the concourse and were also seen fighting in their seats and tumbling down the bleachers.

One of the more horrific scenes took place after the game in the parking lot, when multiple Raiders fans were seen getting punched in the head while unconscious.

White wasn’t the only San Francisco player to comment on the presence of the Raiders and 49ers fans, as Trent Williams said he’s “never once experienced that loud of an eruption [from opposing fans] at our home games.”

“The fan engagement is nuts, it’s through the roof. Since they’ve been in Vegas so long, we don’t really feel it. But obviously the fans haven’t forgotten,” Williams said.
