The Oakland Raiders have released a statement in support of the Kansas City Chiefs organization following today’s tragedy at Arrowhead Stadium.

From the team’s official site:

"“The Oakland Raiders are empathizing with the Chiefs organization. Our hearts are wounded by such an unimaginable tragedy in our NFL family. We will continue to pray for everyone involved.”"

The Raiders and Chiefs are bitter rivals on the field but off the field, the Raiders organization is showing some real class here. It is nice to see everyone coming out in support of the Chiefs as they deal with this upsetting and difficult situation.
