Oakland is going to lose the same team twice. Absolutely terrible thing to do to the die-hard Raiders fans in the East Bay, and there’s no way moving from one of the largest media markets on the country to a desert tourist town makes sense, but Mark Davis sees other NFL owners fleecing their communities and of course he’s going to want his share.

I'm sure he thinks that once he's done fleecing Las Vegas, Oakland will want him back again and he can fleece them too.

I think the NFL sees it as adding a market.

And the Raiders see it as having one of their own, with a taxpayer-funded stadium.
