Raiders owner thinking of moving to San Antonio

If you give SA a team then Dallas will want one

Badumbump.
If Mark Davis were serious you can bet that Jerry Jones will fight him tooth and nail as he believes Austin/SA are HIS territory.
But here is an analysis on Davis's thought process:
Right now, you have 2 teams, the Raiders/49ers that to some degree split the San Fran/Oakland/San Jose/Sacremento market areas. Those combined areas have a total population of about 8.6 million people....but, honestly, probably a much larger percent of that base supports the 49ers over the Raiders. ....so I would say that clearly the Raiders have less than a 4 million local support base.
Now, note: Dallas has about a 6.8 million population base, Houston has about a 6.3 million population base.
Combined, San Antonio and Austin have about a 4.1 million population base.
That makes its combined rank the 15th largest market in the nation.....just behind Detroit, but ahead of the likes of Seattle, Minneapolis, San Diego, Tampa Bay....and a number of other NFL markets.
Of course, the real issue may not be the choice between Oakland and San Antonio...but the choice between LA and San Antonio....though personally I don't want to see the Raiders move at all, but I do understand that they have a terrible stadium to play in.

lol...
SA was one of the top USFL cities... loved their Gunslingers led by Jim Kelly. They have an outdated, yet ready for move-in, domed stadium that'd do until a new one was built. Still a geographic fit for the AFCW.
It'd be a great choice... but I'd hate for Oakland to lose the Raiders... again.

Not to mention a crappy state from a tax standpoint and a crappy city. Oakland may have been a nice, blue collar town back in the day, but now it is crime infested shit hole.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

Jim Kelly played for the Houston Gamblers, not the Gunslingers . (and fyi, the NFL would probably not now allow that name to be used....hell the "Bullets" had the change their name)
But....good point.....would they still stay the Raiders? Or change name.
The point about the color scheme is right though...it would match the Spurs.

Not sure why the big outcry about the tax status of various states. The big chunk of taxes on these guys comes from the Feds, not the state, which is miniscule in comparison.
And any state that doesn't charge an income tax? Where do you think they get their revenue from? Tax on liguor? Hardly.
I know that is some of these states the real estate taxes are triple what a non income tax state pays. And licensing fees? Example, in Ohio, you have to pay like $54.00 to renew your vehicle license plate each year. In some states that would be 10 times as much. (I know that is the case in South Carolina where my father in law owned a car).
Besides, while Oakland proper may not be very good, the rest of the East Bay area is still some pretty prime real estate....with a lot of people with a lot of nice homes etc.

Yea, and all that shit is packing up and leaving or already left.. I worked in Hollywood for years and everything shoots out of state. The Vietnam Era hippies who were cool are replaced by entitled millenial hipsters or bums.
Free thinking in Hollywood? Ask Daniel Tosh, Jon Stewart, Tracy Morgan, Dave Chappelle, Stephen A. Smith, Adam Richman, Alec Baldwin, or a million others about their politically correct horseshit.

yeah but when you were there it was great.
hmmm.

As usual, no one knows what the fuck you are even talking about, except you.
-
you said you were stationed aboard a ship off the coast of cal (san diego?) when you were in the military and talked about going out and it sounded like you had a good time, so i was wondering what the F is so bad about it now? just the tax situation or the fact that you hate liberal cal living?
-
No man, I said I was home ported in San Diego. I did like going to Chargers games, and Padres. But San Diego is not indicative of CA liberal homo's like Piglosi, etc. Was a grunt in the Army and a Squid in the Navy. Got it? Okay.
-
and san diego is in the state of california, so i guess it's not all bad, huh?
got it? good.
-
Nah.
