Nobody cares but gang bangers - they might have to change uniforms


NFL Owners Worried about Gang Culture in Raiders Potential Move to L.A.

“Most owners wanted to avoid a Raiders return to Los Angeles, owing to Al Davis’ burned bridges and the co-opting of the team apparel by gangs"

Raiders regalia is the third-most desired gang attire trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds. NBC Los Angeles noted that Raiders attire used to be heavily favored by gangs in LA, but offered a reason for the decline: “The most obvious reason — the Raiders left Los Angeles in 1994, and a lot of today’s gang members (anyone under age 20) didn’t grow up watching the home town Raiders play or feeling a part of that culture.”

Follow the money. If there is enough of it, 24 owners can say okay. St. Louis moved to LA, and another team wants to follow, taking away whatever left over LA fans the Raiders had.

A professional sports team is long overdue in Las Vegas. Pre-internet, teams could play the gaming card, but these days its less of an issue as fans can pretty much bet on ANY game they wish.

The argument against other teams ( MLB, NBA, NHL ) moving to LAs Vegas is it would take away from the weekly shows on the strip, but the NFL only has 8 shows a year, so the argument to me it moot.
 
Despite the financial advantage, the NFL is committed to avoiding Las Vegas for the same reasons MLB and NBA have.

They all benefit from the degenerate gambling culture, but being directly at the epicenter of it is bad publicity.
 
Why not Vegas. They are as deserving of a team as any city. I think it's a fit for both.
 
The Raiders are going back to LA. With the Rams in a new dual occupancy stadium, AND permission from the NFL to move, there is a 0% chance they don't go to LA in February.

NFL is already fighting the (deserved) bad PR of the league and gambling. The NFL won't put a team in LV for that reason.

Jesus, Breitbart is a piece of ****. They're like the National Enquirer of politics. This title is TOTALLY MISLEADING. No NFL owner even talks about "gang culture". They talked about Raider fans, and used ESPN author Seth Wickersham's OPINION to conflate that with a separate Complex article about gang apparel. Complex. The celeb rag. Great sourcing there, Breitbart. And no one likes Raider Fans. They are rabble-rousers and troublemakers. Always have been, always will be. The Niners permanently banned them from their preseason schedule because of all the fights.

They're building this Stadium in Inglewood. Inglewood is a middle class neighborhood in South Central Los Angeles, for those of you who've never been there. There are gangs in South Central Los Angeles. Always have been, always will be. Raider fans or no, there will be gang members at that stadium.

According to a story in the latest issue of ESPN The Magazine, many NFL owners were hesistant to allow the Silver and Black to return to Los Angeles since their team apparel had been adopted by local gangs.

Most owners wanted to avoid a Raiders return to Los Angeles, owing to Al Davis' burned bridges and the co-opting of the team apparel by gangs, concerns so deep that some wouldn't even consider Carson.

But the beef is the same. That quote didn't come from an NFL owner. It is the editorial OPINION of the ESPN writer who authored the story.

How hard is it for a gang banger to make a V? I'm sure an A is harder because it's like an upside down V with a bridge in the middle. LV Raiders y todo homes

The argument against other teams ( MLB, NBA, NHL ) moving to LAs Vegas is it would take away from the weekly shows on the strip. The NBA has 41 homes games, the NHL a similar amount. And MLB has over 80! I can buy into that a bit.

But the NFL just has 8 home games a year, and wouldn't take much away from the entertainment. In fact, I think it could enhance it. A new stadium would need to be built, but that would not be a problem, with the venture capitalists gambling mentality of the town.

Las Vegas has a metro population close to 2 million people, and major professional sports team in town.
