This is a particularly poorly run franchise headed for decades by a now deceased insane man and presently by an heir that looks like this
They've been moved before, it's California, and they're pretty insane about their basketball team presently.
There are 10-12 franchises in the NFL where if you attempted to move them the city would burn.
But generally the passion you associate with your football teams is reserved for college sports here. All kinds of rivalries and geographic hatred of other conferences.
Like, if I had Trump's nuclear football, Ann Arbor would be more concerned than Pyongyang that I was in possession because every November there'd be a decent chance I'd launch. There's no pro sports rival that I feel that about. They all go out after the games drinking while the fans fight. Rare is the player even from the area or have any connection to the team beyond money.
Your youth academies for clubs probably create more of a bond, but your teams seem to be heading in our direction more than staying pure. It was such a stark contrast to see West Ham move from Boleyn Ground, where just the previous season United couldn't even get their bus into the parking lot because of the drunken vitriol to this season playing in that horrible antiseptic Olympic Stadium where they had no real home field advantage. I'm already not looking forward to seeing Tottenham in Wembley next year while completing the new White Hart Lane(sure to be named after some Arab airline or oil company)

Agree it doesn't win you games but it definitely gives you a slight edge, however if this is one of the quieter stadiums they'll make up for it in overall distractions. Lots of teams head to Hawaii in games they should win but because of all the distractions and long travel end up in a tough game/losing. I could see this happening to road teams visiting LV, gambling, strip clubs, prostitution, unlimited drugs. But probably this will end up being a huge problem for the Raiders, like can we set a line on arrests for the first year in LV for raiders players at ~5?
i cant figure out if that is lloyd christmas's brother from dumb and dumber or a lesbian.
Holy fuck are you stupid?? Oakland is a shithole compared to San Jose and San Fran.. That's like comparing Beverly Hills to East LA.. Seriously???? Oh and even more asinine is the assumption theres no money in Vegas.. Oh so those fucking multibillion dollar casinos just grew out of the sand on their own?? Holy Shit you're a clueless fuck..

Oakland is a 10 minute bridge ride from SF, you fucktard. Besides, anyone from here knows that Man Jose is the true shit hole.

That guys life story is gold, he literally owned and uses a white caravan, no joke, nothing fancy while living in a oddly cheap house and registering odd/adult domain names.
Think I am joking....
