  • NFL approves Raiders' move to Las Vegas 31-1

    From rotoworld
    The NFL has approved the Raiders' relocation to Las Vegas.
    Shameful. The vote was 31-1, with only Dolphins owner Stephen Ross voting no. The NFL has taken to declaring "football is family," but what it really is is money. The Bay Area is one of the richest economic zones in all of human history, but Raiders owner Mark Davis is the poorest owner in the NFL. Since he was too poor to finance a stadium in Oakland and the local authorities wouldn't provide him corporate welfare, he's uprooted for Las Vegas, where a sports-desperate area and casino magnates will foot the bill. It's the NFL's third relocation in 15 months. Any time a team moves is a dark day for its league. Today is no different for the NFL. The Raiders will remain in Oakland for 2017 — and supposedly 2018 — with an eye toward arriving in Sin City in 2019.

    Raider fan and Vegas resident for the last 30 years.... mixed feelings about this!
