SAN FRANCISCO _ Twenty years after attempting to broker a deal that would keep the Raiders in Southern California, Carmen Policy is working for a group intent on sending them back.
Policy, along with Carolina owner Jerry Richardson and Denver owner Pat Bowlen, were head of a committee which proposed the Raiders remain in Los Angeles and play in a new stadium at Hollywood Park.
Instead, the Raiders announced they were going back to Oakland.
“It was a huge surprise,” Policy told reporters in front of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, site of the NFL owners spring meeting.
