To me its not about cool colors or mavrick owners or skulls, its about representing your city and having pride in it. For an owner to move the team is a slap in the face to the people who take pride in thier city. I never got over it. no. still resent the guy for getting greedy.

I gotta say I agree with you about being all for the city. That is why I became a Raider fan when they were here in LA. Thats the first team I knew about when I figured out what football is. I was already a Dodger fan and then I picked up the Lakers in their Sedale Threat, Pig Miller days. But like I said, when they moved back to Oakland it was too late for me. No turning back. I was already hooked and had even shed tears for this team as a little kid (bills vs raiders, afc championship flashback............ahhhhh!!!!)
