The most recent article that comes up when you look up the team made me lose even more faith in humanity. The NFL is all about money and this is the most terrible thing they ever have or ever will do. Then the guy goes on a rant that because of this, the NFL doesn't care about good games, or players health or anything but making money. The author implies heavily that the NFL ever gave a shit about their players. Sure they care about good games, but that's for rating/money purposes. Without a doubt one of the dumbest football articles I've read in my entire life. Guy needs a swift kick to the balls and maybe he'll stop believing in this fucking fairytale past he's convinced himself is real. Shit pisses me off, probably far more than it should, but I fucking loathe people who put rose tinted glasses on whenever discussing the past. Every era of life has had good and bad things about it, but when people just flat out say stupid shit like the NFL doesn't care about players health "anymore" because it's all about the money, what the fuck world are you from? They've never cared and never will legitimately care about the health of their well paid slaves. They at least pretend like they do now, but everyone knows that no one running shit really cares.

Vegas is not going to provide a legitimate base of loyal fans for that team. The games will sell out, with many tickets going to out of towners who are there on vacation.

There's probably going to be less than half Raider fans at any given home game. When they play against a big market team (Steelers etc), the Raiders offense will probably be dealing with more crowd noise than the opposing offense.

Pretty sure it'll just be a madhouse no matter who is playing.

The NFL 100% cares about the health of their players, hence why the create rules to protect them.

No... They pretend to care to avoid lawsuits. There's a big fucking difference.

How else would they generate revenue without protecting their players? Career ending injuries hurt the NFL as well.
