hey Owl have to get off topic here for a second since i never heard back from you on this.
If i were you,i would not bet my money on the raiders going to vegas because in the mid 90's when all these NFL teams were leaving browns to baltimore,oilers to nashville,rams to st louis, the NFL later after that happened,established bylaws and NFL relocation rules you have to follow before you can move.
Like the owner has to negotiate with the city and try and work something out,they have to work together in good faith to try and get something done.Well Mark davis did not do that,he never ONCE tried to get anything done in oakland so that was incorrect when you made the false statement that Oakland brought this on themselves.Oakland had a very solid viable plan for a new stadium that the NFL did not even bother to look at and one of the very BIG rules was that a team cannot leave a major market for a much smaller one as is this case. Oakland is the 5th biggest media market in the country where Vegas is like 48.
PLUS more importantly,the lawyer that Oakland has hired to represent them says the city of oakland has a VERY strong solid case against the NFL in their lawsuit and he has been kryptonite against the NFL winning MANY lawsuits against them so it would be very foolhardy to bet against this man.
Once this goes to a jury trial,its over for the NFL. a jury is sympathetic to this kind of stuff where a judge would not be who can be bought off.Only if it did not reach a jury trial would they leave.
It is clear the NFL approved the moves of the chargers to LA and Raiders to Vegas for one simple fact.GREED.$$
The NFL established a reolcation fee a team has to pay if they leave which was suppose to prevent teams from doing that but all it does is INSPIRE teams to leave because the owners are all profitting from this move,they ALL made 45 million a piece from the relocation.
times that by THREE and they REALLY got rich from this.
Once this lawyer exposes how they violated NFL rules and it was just for pure greed,oakland will get is team back,just watch.
thats why you should have checked out this thread because like the title says so well,WHY does the NFL make up rules if they are not even expected to follow them?
