To Our World wide viewing audience:

We were saddened to hear the news of shootings at Candlestick park, along with the fights and mugging within a restroom.

“THE M.O.B. HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE FOR THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR-PERIOD, REGARDLESS OF WHO YOUR TEAM IS”

As A Fan For Humanity involved in “The Sport of Helping people” we take pride in Helping Others “with a Raider Fan Intensity”. We utilize that intensity and passion for our local sports team to Make Oakland Better - locally and Make others Better - World Wide. Striving to do whats right and stay Positive 24/7, 365 days out of the year is a challenge within itself with financial struggles, feeding the local homeless population and helping direct people with potential mental disablilities and drug addictions to the right resource to get help.

Over the years we have catered to several people from all walks of life regardless of Race, Color, Religion, Creed or Sports team.

The now 13 years we have hosted the Longest tailgate within the NFL on Mob Alley(66th Ave and Coliseum Way) in East Oakland, not one time have we ever supported, witnessed or allowed any type of shooting, stabbing, mugging toward another teams fans. EVER.

Our section we call “The Mob Zone” we host within the Oakland Coliseum, thats now called “The O.Co”, is as intense as any section through out the NFL. Yet, down there we have “Zero Tolerance” for any thuggery, be it our own fans or another teams fans. Thats just wrong and we wont have it.

Our tailgate is a few miles away from murders and lots of crime ( The Crime Capital of Ca, and last I checked #6 worse Crime city in the USA), any sports fans that come thru slinging the Color Red, the Color Blue ( And it’s mainly Red around those parts), guns and or another teams colors, they always know when they come to Mob Alley, leave your guns and mentality behind or do not enter.

The Surrounding businesses are our friends, as our the Oakland Police, the Oakland Fire Dept., the workers at the Oakland Coliseum, the Oakland Raiders, the Oakland A’s, the Warriors organization, ESPN, Fox Sports, Yahoo Sports, Local and Nation wide media outlets. The list goes on and on.

The reason we have these friendships and long time working relationships we have developed over the years is because we are always striving to help our community locally and abroad and we do not engage in any violent or wrong behavior, bar none.

We take alot of pride knowing everywhere we go to host a Charity event be it in Oakland, the surrrounding communities, through out Ca or out of State, all entities know our work ethic, compassion for humanity and our passion for our Oakland Raiders transcends itself leaving a wonderful impression and great feeling, touching lives everywhere we go.

In closing, our heart felt prayers go out to those who were shot, mugged or even witnessed such stupidity.

I truly hope all the suspects are found and prosecuted to the fullest, sending a message to every NFL stadium and sporting venue world wide, starting from the Elementary level to the Professional level that sports is a “Universal Language that brings people of all races, cultures and different backgrounds together”, not grounds for slaughter of any kind.

God Bless all of you and,

“MAY THE MOB BE WITH YOU”

Sincerely yours,

Godfather Griz Jones

Fans for Humanity that,
M.O.B. - locally - Make Oakland Better
M.O.B. - World Wide - Make Others Better

GO RAIDERS
