An Oakland lawsuit against the Raiders wouldn't keep the team from moving. Now that Vegas has started on the new stadium it can claim far more financial damage against the team than Oakland if they back out of the deal now.
Uh yeah it would.If this lawsuit goes to a jury trial,it will be game over for the Raiders.when the jury hears that Mark Davis violated all NFL relocation rules in trying to get a deal done in Oakland never once meeting with oakland officials to try and get something done in Oakland as that last moron ignored with his BS that oakland failed to get anything done.
I'm not sure why you seem to think that violating NFL rules equates to an automatic return of the team. Art Modell violated the rules and take a look at the hoops the NFL erected for Cleveland to jump through to be granted a new franchise, including a vote on league expansion by NFL owners. .
yeah but AGAIN as i been saying all along,after the oilers and the browns left their cities a year later after the rams did,NFL relocation rules got 10 times harder to pull off than they were back then when it was easy as pie. AFTER the Browns and Oilers as well,was when they adapted the much tougher rules and AGAIN,this lawyer representing them has been kryptonite against the NFL having won SIX count them SIX lawsuits against them in the past and does not take a case unless he is very confidant.If the vegas apologists would listen to these facts instead of using the warped logic that its a done deal cause the owners voted for it,they would see how foolhardy it is to think this is a done deal.
all he gots to argue in the court is-these rules were made to keep teams from leaving all the time,if the owners dont have to follow the rules,then why are they even there in the first place? if a JURY hears that and it goes to a jury trial,its game over for the NFL.the only way they go to vegas is if it does not go to a jury trial and come corrupt bought off judge working for the NFL is the owner,yeah THEN the raiders would leave yeah,i dont deny that.lets just wait and see if it goes to a jury trial then we will know for sure.
