5 days? Really? Yes the Cowboys should already be done by then but maybe they will still be Dem Boys for another week?
It's been 30 years since you won a super bowl. Yes, I know the Raiders have been longer. Sounds like a participation trophy.
It's just a ridiculous statement to make. How do I have control over where the Raiders move to? It was the right move. Oakland treated them like shit. The Raiders wanted to move to LA but were blocked from doing so. Vegas has been a great business decision for them given the choices available.
I couldn't believe it when the 49ers traded so many picks to move up to get him. Epic disaster. Only averted by drafting Purdy with the Mr. Irrelevant pick.
Wait. The raiders were in LA? AND THEY LEFT and went back to Oakland and left AGAIN! Beings they have been in the superbowl 3 times in the last decade and have won it 5 TIMES in their history that isn't the flex you think it is. I think the last raiders superbowl was 40 years ago? No? Don't worry. I root for the Raiders when they play the Cowboys.
Cool. 30 years is a long time. Raiders got crushed in the super bowl 22 years ago. That hurts more than a bad season tbh. Again, who gives a shit. I live in Oregon. Why do I care where they move to? Vegas is more fun to visit.
Do you think I'd support the Blazers if they moved to Seattle? The Raiders have moved to LA, back to Oakland and then to Vegas. Just stating that I would not be a fan of that team anymore. Comparing it to moving to the suburbs of that same city is just not the same thing. It would be like if the Blazers wanted to build a new arena and moved to Hillsboro. But of course, if you don't live in Oakland, or have never lived in Oakland, why would you care where the team plays?
Using the Blazers is different, because you live here. If the 49ers moved to Las Vegas, would you decide to choose a new team?
Depends. If I thought the owners were douchey I might stop following them. I stopped watching for a few years after how they blew up the team and some of the reports about the team backing out on replacing fields after they built the new stadium.
There are Raiders fans everywhere. Even though we have sucked lately it is still one of the top 10 most popular/historic franchises. Nobody can fault the Raiders for leaving Oakland THIS time. Lots of people were pissed last time about them going to LA. They would have gone to LA this time too if they weren't cock blocked.
I get why people who are fans of the team and aren't from the city wouldn't care about where the team plays. But if I was from Oakland, the Raiders would be dead to me.
