      I agree. I've always been a St. Louis Rams fan and when they moved I didn't care. It's still the Rams. But when the Seattle Supersonics moved I didn't become a OKC Thunder fan because I didn't feel like that was the Supersonics anymore. The Raiders will still be the Raiders, just a different first name

      Colin is right and dead wrong on this take. He is right that in this day of age, with the miracles of modern media in 2017 i.e online/social media, digital cable, smartphones, etc. if you a fan of any team in the '4' major North American Sports leagues, it's easier than ever to follow them even if you in a different part of the country. aka La Laker fan who's now living in New Jersey. Plus he also right the NFL is the most unique sports league anywhere, in which it's mainly A TV-centric sport. Whereby it has a huge national even international following, with fans around America and the world.
      With that said Colin is wrong in that any huge amount of taxpayer should never be used again to build stadiums for Multi Billionaires other than for paying for infrastructure such as public transit and highways to get there. I know the Davis family,(Raiders)and the Spanos family (Chargers) are not as rich as say Jerry Jones and Robert Kraft. In that case IMO, 1)the Raiders should have stayed in Northern Calif and moved to the 49ers stadium in Santa Clara(until a new stadium in either SF or Oakland was built) 2)If the Chargers could not a viable location in San Diego moved to Anaheim not LA. 3)from this point forward no other city/region in America should every pay again most of the cost of building a new stadium for any sports team unless that city/region gets ownership share. 4)let the major tv and cable sports networks also start to pay for at least a portion of the construction of these new buildings since they already paying tens of millions in naming rights anyhow. Without TV, any sports league can not survive.
      Just my takes. Private business footing most of the costs of new stadiums (ie NBC, Fox, CBS giving loans) would have allowed the Chargers to stay in SD the Rams in St Louis and the Raiders to stay in the Bay area. And 2 expansion team should been awarded to LA and another city i.e Toronto, Mexico City or San Antonio. That what should have happened. Instead Jerry Jones has his own way in being the 'real boss' of the NFL and not figurehead Roger.

Now the Raiders are closer than ever and am super thrilled. I made the trip to support my team, in anyway possible. You can too. It's what you make of it. This is what's best for our Raiders.

    Here in Belgium they didn't even broadcast NFL games until the early 2000's, but there has always been Raiders Jersey/T-shirts/hats/memorabilia for sale. That's how well known they are. That white cap with their black and silver logo is legendary.

  • @esquiredan2702
    @esquiredan2702 Před 7 lety +12

    By Colin's logic, people in Philly should have been celebrating when the Warriors won a title. Cleveland fans should have celebrated when the Ravens won. But they didn't. When you root for a team, you don't root for them because you like the logo or because you just picked a name out of a hat. You root for them because THEY REPRESENT YOUR CITY. When your team moves from the city, it no longer represents your city. When the Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens, Cleveland fans didn't suddenly root for Baltimore. You root for the city, not the franchise.

      @chairmanofrussia Před 4 lety

      This is so true. I was a Lions fan because I liked their play style and their underdog status. But when the Rams moved into town, I couldn’t help but slowly switch. Now I root for the Rams far more than the Lions, whether I liked it or not, because they represent my city.

  • @mattbogoshian4769

    The reason (most) people root for a team is because that team plays in THEIR city or state. If given the choice between your team becoming an elite contender in another city or a terrible team in your city you pick terrible team because it's your team because they play in your city. If they leave, you have no reason to root for them because what drew you in the first place was the fact that they were the local team!

    No other teams identity is more closely associated with their community.
    Nobody would advocate the Raiders getting rid of the Shield. Oakland is just as emblematic of the brand as the Shield is.
    The city of Oakland literally NAMED this team. Do your research. The colors and theme were selected based on Oaklands geographical location & climate. The teams personality was specifically designed as Oakland. Blue collar, rebel misfits that nobody else wanted. A team that isn't supposed to win but does. Legendary players were Oakland residents. They were part of the community.

    your right about stadium situation in Oakland. Horrible place to play. The Raiders have been needing a new place for decades,now they got one coming in Vegas. It's just sad that they had to leave California. The Autumn Wind is a Raider, blustering in from sea! There is no sea in Vegas! Too much history in Oakland being left behind. And yes! I'm a Raiders fan living in L.A. who watches on DirecTV but loves to drive up the 5 north to see my team play.

    I was born and raised as a Raiders fan. I was almost named Bo and Marcus if that tells you anything. Oakland and LA were fitting for the Raiders because the culture in those cities matched the way the team played and helped them earn the title of the bad boys of football way back when the rivalry started with the Steelers. With that being said, Sin City and Raider Nation just seem right. Of course the history of Raiders in California can’t be ignored but at least it’s Las Vegas and not somewhere out of place like Utah or Texas.

    I think Jon Oliver put it best: if taxes were all that mattered, then everyone would be playing for the Cayman Islands Conches. There's a reason we don't have the Cheyenne Patriots, the Anchorage Bears, and the Sioux Falls 49ers. (And the Rams saw fit to move from moderate-tax Missouri to high-tax California.) That said, I'm excited to see the Raiders go to Vegas, though I'm not a Raider fan or an Oakland-area resident who'll be personally affected. But it can be harder to see relocated teams on a weekly basis if you don't have Sunday Ticket, depending on where they move to.

    I don't know about LA being a Raiders town. I was born and raised in St. Louis. I was stuck for 30+ years with the football cardinals. I left home in 1969, (drafted), and stayed in California after serving. I still followed the Cardinals because they represented my home town. When they moved to Arizona I completely lost interest. Over time I had converted to a 49er fan because they represented where I lived. I don't agree with the premises of this broadcast.

I grew up in Baltimore and we'd fly to oakland, I now live in Long beach and flew up to Oakland twice a yr. but Now Ill fly to Vegas.. Theres so many ppl who are like me. We root for the Raiders not the city. Whatever is best for the Raiders is okay for me. I feel for Oakland fans especially growing up in a football less city of Baltimore until 1996.

    Teams are closely tied with the communities they represent. To truly understand this, you need to look further outside of the country to know the relationship between clubs and their communities. Look at the FC Wimbledon and MK Dons story and even the SV Austria Salzburg and RB Salzburg story. Teams are a representation of their communities. The NFL moves them because they don't actually care about the communities their teams represent or their respective cities.
