The Raiders to Las Vegas. Well, you knew this day was inevitable. The NFL owners were tired of Mark Davis’ whining, unimpressed with Ronnie Lott’s stadium proposal, equally unmoved by Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf’s partisan pleas, and just plain sick of the Raiders’ chronic issues.
So off they go. On the road again. Oakland. Los Angeles. Oakland. Las Vegas. The franchise that for decades treated its fan base like a dumping ground – consistent with the state of the stadium off Interstate 880 and Hegenberger Road – received overwhelming support Monday in its attempts to relocate to southern Nevada, with the Miami Dolphins casting the lone dissenting vote.
