“This story has all of the redeeming qualities I’d expected. “

This probably has it’s roots in the “ownership” of the Raiders for so many years by Al Davis. Davis defines a sleazy owner. And as for the Raiderettes, bless ‘em all. They used to be the only reason to go to a Raiders game because the team was just crap a lot of the time they were in Oakland.

When the Raiders left Oakland is when they
first turned to crap. One word......Hollywood.
They lost their working class appeal and became
caricatures of themselves. Nobody bought the
“badass” because it became the image and not
reality. When they came back to Oaktown they bought
the Hollywood image back with them although the
old school bar hopping w/the fans was on it’s way out
anyway due to mega contracts and a change of NFL
player mentality.
