Seems appropriate. The official conversion has taken place. We now address them as Vegas

I asked myself the same question before I created the post.

Only for continuity's sake I guess.

Didn't that dumbbell PE1 say no locals will go to or support the Raiders because everyone in Vegas already roots for a different team?
That wouldn't surprise me... nor will the game fixing and gambling accusations that are sure to follow.

I know when I lived in the Vegas area the majority of locals* I met said they'd love an NFL team in town and would root for them. That city has wanted pro sports for a long time before the Knights. And I think the tickets are tough to get.

* = people that grew up there or moved there at a young age

As far as gambling accusations, not sure that will follow. Has that happened with the Knights?

"yes." i lied to my newfound internet friend, "yes."



Seriously, I have no idea but it's Vegas. Mobsters and gamblers hang out there ya know? And we're so shit that it's going to look like we're laying down for every team that comes into town.

That is an antiquated view of vegas. Vegas is corporate as fuck, and vegas is the first to sniff out the bullshit, and coruption. Believe it.

Will the fans care about the team? Being mostly transplants that want to gamble ?

There are tons of raider fans here. Being a native, if they arent playing the bears, ill be pulling for them. If they win, there will more support than they can handle. If they lose, no one ne will give a shit.

Be wrong then.

I'm correct.

If you think the mob isn't still involved then you've got your head in the sand.

And if you think someone can't get to some of those shady as fuck NFL players then you've lost your mind.

The NHL is a false test. Those guys aren't as suspect as the NFL players.
