They left once before, moved to L.A. for a few years, then moved back because L.A. is just not a ‘football’ town.

The Rams and the Chargers will learn that lesson. For the Rams, they will learn it again..................

Technically prostitution is illegal in Clark County where LV is located.

The NFL is destroying its brand. The year people started tuning out the NFL is not the best time to start shuffling teams around.

“Las Vegas Raiders”
Sounds like a late nite dance review down on the Strip.

I have no issues with it. Just drop the Las and it rolls pretty good. Actually it will be the perfect place where all of the Raiders fans who don all of the garb, makeup and clown suits can mix in with the rest of the community, almost kidding! Actually, this might very well be the best possible location. The new stadium will be on the west side of I-15 from Mandalay Bay.

Oh yes, as a longtime basketball fan, I remember those days well. Couldn’t stand Tark the Shark.

Las Vegas citizens and tax payers, and counties around Las Vegas prepare for a royal $crewing from the owner of the Raiders.

BOHICA!

Maybe 40-50000 rabid Raider fans will move to LV and bring their Raider/Californicator values to LV and the near bye counties.

Oakland is in the top five places in the USA, ... to leave.

Are they relocating to the north side of Vagas? They would feel more at home there.

Why? Because Oakland won’t build them a new $400 million stadium?

I feel sorry for loyal Oakland fans, but mobility is at the root of capitalism and federalism.
