Well the Raiders are #winning, but even if they weren’t, those East Bay Raiders fans would still fill the stadium.

I have a neighbor who is insane for the Raiders. He flies to every game from Phoenix. He is beyond thrilled they are moving to LV...he can just drive there.

What bonus? Jerry Jones, love or hat him, is pro-America. He is also an astute businessman. And also the absolute most powerful owner in the NFL. Godell’s days are numbered.

I am more and more convinced that the move to Vegas is a genius move.
A lot of folks from Southern California now have a built-in excuse to spend a weekend in Vegas.

The NFL is no longer pat of my life. No way am I going to give America disrespecting punks my money.

I got an email from MGM Resorts in Vegas inviting me to see my Dallas Cowboys play against the Raiders someday in Vegas.
Both the Raiders and Vegas are taking full advantage of the upcoming #CalExit.

We should help the NFL become a true non-profit.

These networks are paying big bucks for the right to broadcast the NFL. If audience erosion happens, then it stands to reason, that the networks offers for buying the rights to NFL football will decline too. The networks used to be glad to pay a premium for broadcasting NFL games, because the league brought in a steady, dependable audience year after year. This controversy has done the near impossible, it has made the NFL risky. Now, not only should the NFL get less money simply on ratings, the next contracts will have it at a discount, not a premium, to allow for the risk involved in advertising on the NFL.

This article is almost a year old. Would be interesting to see what this year’s rating look like by comparison - I’d guess they’d be down even from last season.

These asswipes have to politicize EVERYTHING. I can’t enjoy a TV show, a movie, and now sports.

What I'd like to see, most, is the immediate reduction of all NFL salaries to 1970 levels. . Most of these millionaire thugs are a disgrace to the Nation's economic system
Then we get back to watch people playing who really love football.

The biggest problem for the leftist foot soldier, just your typical rank and file lib, is that they talk themselves into believing their own lies and thus fail at reality completely.
