People dont realize that the citizens were largely indifferent to the Raiders...many didn't want them there at all. There isn't a swell of excitement in Vegas about them. It's a Golden Knights city. They want home a grown team to root for...not some transient team with an established fan base from another city.
Did I mention that the casinos made million off the Raiders win?
It's cool if you want to believe the NFL is about the integrity of sport...purveyors of the spirit of competition.
I think it's comprised of 32 billionaire owners that made their fortune juking the system...that built a monopoly that is free of legal interference.

There's no financial benefit. Just like there's no financial benefit of having the biggest brand in sports world wide, the cowboys, be 2-4. Or two teams in the biggest market in the country be a combined 1-11 And yet here we are. If it were about business, how do you explain that?
Anyways, I appreciate the league rigging it so the chiefs won the Superbowl last year. I'm sure you predicted that all along...
