This summer, our sites are looking back at some of ESPN’s famous 30 for 30 series.
In addition to Ice Cub’s memorable 2010 film Straight Outta L.A film, the Raiders’ franchise was chronicled in the 2021 30 for 30 installment, Al Davis vs. the NFL.
The film centers on the Raiders’ Pro Football Hall of Fame owner’s infamous and lengthy legal battle against the league and commissioner Pete Rozelle, as Davis moved the team from Oakland to Los Angeles in 1982. Davis and Rozelle became bitter adversaries and the documentary channeled both men fictionally, who were deceased by the time it debuted, in an attempt to get inside the heart of the matter.
