Column: A rocky relocation

Related Topics: Oakland Raiders

Nothing is worse than a bad breakup. And I’m not referring to relationships.

Professional sports teams tend to hold significant meaning to most fans. So, when the front office of a franchise decides to relocate to a new city, it is generally a devastating loss to the fan base.

The Oakland Raiders recently announced their relocation to Las Vegas, making them the third team in the National Football League to relocate since the start of 2016. The Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams have also relocated.

Although they will remain in Oakland for the next two seasons, there is still uncertainty on how many people will continue to support the Raiders franchise before and after the team moves to Sin City.
