Keidel: Raiders Belong In Oakland
Las Vegas probably deserves a football team,just not the one from Oakland.
A MEN,damn straight.
Dr.Death @26DrDeath
I'd like to see the Raiders move to San Francisco @ Hunter's Point. It would put a sharp stick in the eye of York, and help develop the East Shore of SF - there is a lot of land and room to build hotels and docks for cruise ships and water taxis, and continue a promenade/esplanade from the Giant's Park, the Warriors new Stadium and growing need for high density residential in an area growing with high technology and Medical Research.
You would have the last laugh on York thats for sure.lol
The NFL is hard to predict. If they were smart,the owners would not vote for the move and vote it down this march 27th when the vote is expected because the NFL would lose money if the raiders went to vegas going from a major market like oakland,the 6th biggest to vegas,the 44th largest.that would not be good for them.
However it was not good for the NFL to make it possible for the chargers to join the Rams either,that will be disasterous for them since LA has no charger fans and san diego fans are not going to drive up there either to watch them so you just never know with the NFL.they can be really stupid at times as in the chargers case.
that being said,the NFL did not want the chargers to join the rams,they thought spanos would stay and work somethign out,they never imagined he would take their option they left them.they were that stupid to believe that.
Well they are still smarting from that mistake so i cant possibly see them making the same mistake again. People here as well as everywhere else around the country think the raiders going to vegas is a done deal.well they ALSO though carson was a done deal as well when the mainstream media kept telling them carson is a done deal,the NFL will be in carson soon,its a lock.the raiders and chargers will be in carson next year.you can count on it.how did that one turn out? i thought so.
well its the same thing all over again and people STILL keep falling for the raiders moving over and over again.
what people here never take the time to consider when they keep saying vegas is a done deal as the media did with carson though is that the NFL only needs 9 no votes from the owners to stop the move.they need 23 yes votes from them to move.well its much easier to get 9 votes from them than it is 23. they are overlooking that.not only that,they also dont take into account that mark davis is pure broke as far as NFL owners go.He will never be able to afford the relocation fee to move and not only that,because he is so broke,he wants a handout.
He wants a billionaire like sheldon adelson to build the stadium for him for free out of the goodness of their own heart and not be in debt and still be the owner. well it doesnt work like that.
Its the same thing as going to a bank,you take out a loan,welll you are going to have to pay interest on top of paying back the loan.mark davis doesnt underdstand that.
He moves to Vegas,well he is going to be in debt and have to pay whoever builds the stadium for him for years.He cannot afford to do that.He is the poorest owner in the NFL.Where if he builds in Oakland,all he has to do is sell the team to a billionaire owner and his troubles are over,no debt.The reason Mark Davis wants out of Oakland so bad is he wants to establish his own destiny.He doesnt want to be in his fathers shadow which is what happens if he stays.
the NFL owners want him to sell the team and thats what will happen eventually cause he will see that he cannot afford to pay off any investor who builds the team in vegas and see that he has no debt if he remains in oakland if he sells the team. the owners more than likely are going to make him sit in oakland in a crappy stadium with nowhere to go for the next few years and he indeed will HAVE to sell the team to an oakland investor in five years.just watch.
Listen to these two guys,its about a 25 minute video but they know their stuff so its well worth the listen.
