Oakland Raiders moving to Oklahoma City?

[Brahmsian]

No NFL team is moving to OKC. Too small of a market cramped in by existing teams. Will never happen.
Next subject please.

Be leery of the word "never."

An NFL team in my native city is improbable, but so was an NBA team not that long ago.

Oakland cannot, or will not give you new stadium so shit or get off the can Mr. Davis.

OKC probably wouldn't be a bad NFL city, but LA the #2 TV market, or San Antonio #35 TV market make more sense.

1. If the move they have to be called the bombers

That makes more sense than most people might think.

Tinker AFB just SE of OKC has long been the place where most maintenance work was done on USAF bomber planes.

Other than LA - what is the next largest TV market that does not have a NFL team?????

Portland OR

Portland OR

Isn't that the same city as Seattle?

That's like saying Houston and Dallas are the same city.

Let 'em have the Jags

They should

The Jags aren't going anywhere. They are not finished tormenting the people of Jax yet. Oh and the owner along with the city just allocated 60 million dollars for stadium improvements. Kahn will get his 25 million worth before the Jags pack bags for London.

Hello, geographic ignoramus!

It's on the Oregon-Washington line but still FAR from Seattle.

Your attempt at humor would get you booed if you were on a public stage.

 

[Mr. Tacoma]

LA makes the most sense. They supported the Rams for 48 years so the NFL is obviously welcome there.

Wherever they end up will depend on which city is willing to pony up the most taxpayer dollars for a stadium.

Not to mention pay homage to Lamonica

If it ever happened I would have a one time out clause as a Raider fan.

33 years of following this team has been great but mostly a lot of smh.

I would officially turn in my Raider gear, shed a few tears, and then move on.

But I would never support anything Oklahoma. Not even the Raiders.

Spose my fandom would have to jump across the bay. another smh

aww now, what's Oklahoma ever done to you????

Good question.

LA makes the LEAST amount of sense.

They've already had 3 teams: The Chargers, Rams and Raiders. They couldn't support any of them.

The money is there and so is a fan base, but for whatever reason, they wont turn out for a game. It's like LA wants a team just to say they have a team. In LA, even having a football team is an 'entitlement'.

I disagree...idk about the Chargers, but the Rams and OAK left over stadium deals...not lack of fan support. How they want to spend their tax dollars...that's another debate. There are several teams that face blackouts right now, so it's not like every city is selling out every week.

In a metropolis that size, if the team wins they will be sold out every week...but TV market is where it's at.

Hey! Easy now, no reason to be that mean!


And Jerry will never let another team that close to Dallas.

20-62 is contending for a title?

Own up closet Sonic fan. Your team sucked, you didn't support it, you lost it.

Truth

Yes, but Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and Serge Ibaka were all drafted by the Supersonics. I don't agree with you premise that we didn't support the Sonics, either. The Sonics finished in the top 12 in stadium capacity filled in every year from 2000-2001 until 2006-2007.
