You're watching multisource video news analysis from Newsy.

Gang rivalries go from the streets to the stadium. 

A vicious brawl broke out in San Francisco at a preseason football game between the ‘Niners and Raiders on Sunday.

In the aftermath – the media examines if stadiums are still safe – and if fights are actually on the rise.

But first - Fox News brings you more of the video going viral.

“Have you seen this?  It’s embarrassing. It’s horrible.  Shots fired out on the streets right outside a sports arena moments after this fight broke out in the stadium.” (Fox News)

HLN and CNN were also showing the video early Monday.  HLN gives more details on the fight and points out children were scary close to the rumble.

“Look in the background you can see there is a baby being held, just a few feet away in the background right there.  Also some fights involving women in the parking lot.  One man was beaten unconscious in the bathroom at the stadium.” (HLN)

All this coming after a Giants fan was beaten into a coma at Dodgers stadium just a few months ago.  Now some in the media are asking; is it still safe to go? 

More than 800 people weighed in on a USA Today poll.

The results? They’re scared.

Others look for motivating factors – An editorial in the San Francisco Chronicle says violence is on the rise in both San Francisco and Oakland – and it may be a reason why the fights are spilling over.

“Several factors, according to the FBI, contribute to crime with two of the main culprits being joblessness and poverty. … After dropping for a few years, violent crime is up in Oakland ... By early spring, the murder rate in San Francisco was also up.

A blogger for ESPN is shocked that incidents like this keep happening.  He wishes the brawlers would just chill out.

“[I]t blows me away that people take the opportunity to brutalize and terrorize others at such a positive event. This is just a game.”

But is fighting in the stands a new thing? Not really – its been happening since the beginning.  According to a professor quoted by Oakland’s KTVU – technology is making it seem worse.

“There are more cameras covering games and more fans using their smartphones … Any acts of aggression have a higher probability of being captured and being shown over the Internet and on television. It would give the impression that, `Boy, fans are engaging in all of this aggressive behavior.' But you have to remember that a vast majority of them are not."
