Mark Davis: Raiders not protesting gold 50-yard markers

It’s unbelievable the ideas that people are throwing out there in terms of reasons why we’re doing it.

ALAMEDA – Raiders owner Mark Davis walked into the media room on Wednesday, ready to drive a stake through the gold paint story circulating the day before.

The Raiders didn’t paint the O.co Coliseum’s 50-yard line gold as the rest of the league did at their home venues, in honor of Super Bowl 50. The game’s golden anniversary will occur this winter at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.

Oakland’s 50-yard line wasn’t white as some sort of passive protest.
