Oakland Fans

[Avoid_Lloyd]

In the spirit of at least we're not them:

I'm always amazed when I see the Raiders stadium packed with passionate Raider fans with their team bolting to Vegas. I get they've tarped a big section of seats of seats ala Jacksonville, but every time I see highlights from one of their home games it seems like they have thousands of people there supporting them.

If (and I know it would never happen) the Steelers left Pittsburgh they would never get another dime of my money, and I live out of state, I don't care if you're a Raider fan from somewhere else besides Oakland, why support them???

I remember when the Browns, Oilers, and Rams left their cities they couldn't give tickets away.

I guess no one ever accused Raider fans of being an intelligent lot tho, there's loyalty and there's stupidity...

I'm in SoCal & they are loyally stupid

They haven't left yet.

As for the Chargers, they have lost a HUGE portion of their fan base. It's one of the reasons I'm watching them closely. IF the NFL had a vested in interest in a team getting to the SB, it would be the Chargers. Boosts their fan base, gives Rivers a happy send-off within the next year or two... Win Win.

And if the championship were against L.A. Well that's just gravy on top.

Not quite sure why loyalty is stupid. Should they bandwagon to another team?

Now the black hole will be an empty hole before long. Hate the raiders so I feel little empathy.

Uh..Oakland Alameda had a huge contingent of Steeler fans. Even in the Black Hole there where some terrible towels waving. That used to never happen. Black used to be sacred ground, like the dog pound.

Well now Wig! Do I detect a conspiracy possibly occurring?

To each their own, if a team bails on my city they don't get my support anymore, they are the bandwagon jumpers, and they especially don't get me dropping the kind of cash it takes to go to an NFL game

Yep, there was A LOT of yellow in the stands which is awesone, but still thoudands of raider lemmings handing their cash out to a team that's leaving them in 1.5 years, I'd find something else to do with my time and money
