Trashing the Raiders

Postby Dean-Atlanta » Wed Feb 17, 2021 3:41 pm

Why are some folks trashing the Raiders for moving to Las Vegas? Does anyone believe LA DESERVES TO HAVE TWO TEAMS ( why the Chargers moved there who knows)? Los Angeles and Oakland are $hitholes, can you really blame the Raiders for leaving those cities?

If we're going to trash any team, let it be "the Washington Football team" for ditching their their long time name, selling out to political correctness ans cancel culture, as their POS owner Dan Snyder vowed to not do that when he bought the team.

They should be called The Washington Rioters, to represent the trash in the city they play for?

Who is trashing the Raiders move?
It was a brilliant business move to get out of Oakland.
I was always annoyed to listen to these talking heads whine about the Raiders trading LB Mack as if he was Lawrence Taylor.
The Raiders could not afford Mack and the bonus he was asking for.
Oakland was a financial disaster for them.

Simple. San Diego didn't want to do what every modern city with an NFL team has done, help finance a new stadium to keep their team. Of course the Chargers went to a bigger market. Plus they originated in LA anyway. Las Vegas was all too happy to steal the Masqueraiders from Brokeland.

I found this on wikipedia, I did not know the Chargers started inn LA:

The club was founded as a Los Angeles-based team on August 14, 1959, and began play on September 10, 1960, as a charter member of the American Football League (AFL). They spent their first season in Los Angeles before relocating to San Diego in 1961 to become the San Diego Chargers.[1][7] The Chargers joined the NFL as result of the AFL–NFL merger in 1970. Following 56 seasons in San Diego, the Chargers were controversially relocated back to Los Angeles by owner Dean Spanos prior to the 2017 season, just one year after the Rams had moved back to the city from St. Louis.

And it was a huge mistake moving to Los Angeles.
They have zero fan base in the area.

Unfortunately, this is where my Jags are now. They asked for money to help create an entertainment district and fund improvements to the stadium to generate more revenue and the city denied their request. I think they were short by two votes. Sad to say the Jags may not stay in Jacksonville much longer. Hoping if they move they will come to Texas. =)
