Apparently after seeing the backlash in San Diego over the Chargers moving to LA, the NFL is worried about riots at the Oakland Coliseum if the Raiders announce they're moving to Las Vegas and still have to play in the OCo for the next few years. Looks like if the Raiders move to Vegas they are going to try and cut and run, and not play in Oakland next year.

TBeats posted:Well tbh it is pretty inconsistent to rail against the Chargers for moving but not really give the Raiders the same treatment, but I guess his mileage faux pas is more relevant than the point he was making. One team's stadium had regular back ups of poo poo occurring and their city openly didn't care because it wasn't the team they liked complaining about the issue The other team just had a rich owner who got told no to a solo LA move and threw a fit over it

The last time an attempt was made you guys dissed it because it was Bon Jovi  I'm glad the Bills stayed to become more miserable

Ragnarok the Red posted:If this is the case then why on earth did the owners even put in a clause allowing the Chargers to have first dibs to be Kroenke's tenants within a year? Why not just nebulously declare it was something they could consider down the road but they wanted time to see how much NFL would be embraced in LA THIS time and give SD more time to put something together? They genuinely thought it'd be embraced and had less than no qualms about having 2 teams in LA Would have worked if the first one of them did anything other than immediately flop

shiksa posted:Like, how rich are the spanos family that they can do all of this and not wake up in a cold sweat every morning about how hosed they are At a certain point I don't think it's entirely money-related As Zurreco said, not only did they lose a chance at $300 mil, he had to pay $650 mil more in relocation fees He didn't want to stay, he couldn't have made it any clearer, and I've felt he made his mind up on that since the SD vote results came back in on November. Dragging it out to the last week was just one last gently caress you

If there was any doubt left: "I think we will have a vote, and I think we will have a positive vote. I think we are in pretty good shape," Goodell said. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/1...move-las-vegas More quotes from owners today: Robert Kraft on possibility of Raiders to Vegas: "I think it's great." Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Monday is "going to be an exciting day for Vegas." #Chargers owner Dean Spanos said #Raiders in Las Vegas would be a "great thing" and that he will vote for it

With even a second of hindsight, it's the most Davis Oakland Raiders thing I've ever seen to leave the area the moment they become good again

St Louis suing the league http://www.stltoday.com/sports/foot...83f89948d9.htmlquote:The city, the county and the Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority are suing the National Football League over the relocation of the Rams 15 months ago. quote:The suit claims St. Louis has lost an estimated $1.85 million to $3.5 million a year in amusement and ticket tax revenue with the departure of the Rams. It says the city also has lost about $7.5 million in property tax and $1.4 million in sales tax revenue, plus "millions" in earning taxes. League has to see the lawsuit through to the end. Settling would be real stupid because San Diego and Oakland would immediately file their own suits

Vegas Raiders stadium won't be ready till June '20. Oakland lease runs out in 2 years, so they'll have to find another temporary home for the last season.
