It’s not Las Vegas vs. Oakland any more, not really.
The Raiders’ future? As NFL owners get set to congregate in Arizona over the next few days, all attention is on Las Vegas, its freely available money (whether or not that’s wise), and the Raiders’ desire to relocate there.
Not on Oakland. And its lack of available money (which I think is wise). And the Raiders and the NFL’s extreme disinterest in, and distaste for, any potential plan to keep the team in the East Bay.
You can blame whoever you want for this, and there is plenty of it to go around, but for all Raiders’ purposes, Oakland is in the rear-view mirror, past-tense, removed from viability in this conversation.
