Read: Open letter from Oakland Raiders fan groups to Mark Davis, all NFL owners

To the National Football League owners:

Thank you for considering this letter whose purpose is to:

1. Convince you that the Raiders and the NFL are better off economically with the team in Oakland and reject its proposed move to Las Vegas.
2. Request that the NFL follow its own relocation guidelines – which we consider to be a de facto contract with fans -and
3. Document our concern that false perceptions/narratives may have unduly influenced a decision that will once again devastate legendarily loyal fans who have helped the Raiders thrive in Oakland for generations.
