City of Oakland sues the team

It is no big secret that the City of Oakland and the Raiders have been at each other’s throats for months now. On Tuesday, that fight hit an all-time high, as the City sued the Raiders, and the NFL for the team’s move to Las Vegas.

In short, the City feels the move to Sin City was illegal, and reference the team, and the league as being a “cartel.” Those are strong words from the City of Oakland, and the main thing I get out of this is how much the fans of the team will suffer due to this lawsuit.

The Raiders are ingrained in the fabric of the City of Oakland, the move to Las Vegas is hard enough without the City suing the franchise and the league. This lawsuit will have ramifications beyond just the court documents, as this could be the last season for the Silver and Black in the Bay Area.
