Al Davis vs. the NFL (30 for 30 recap)

Just watched it.  Moral of the story: Davis had better lawyers.

 

If you own a franchise and your league bylaws say you need a 3/4 vote to do anything, that should hold up, especially if he, Davis, signed off on the bylaws.

It was because he was expecting the NFL to switch to a pay per view TV format and he'd strike it rich due to the size of the LA market. I think another was mentioned but I can't remember. 

 

Pay per view was indeed a big part of the move, and it was mentioned briefly.  Another was LA promising to seriously upgrade the Coliseum, which they did, a little bit, but didn't do the whole job "because of the economy."

 

The whole notion that Raider Nation is a "traveling circus" is a joke and if I was an Oakland fan, I would burn every piece of Raider gear I owned.  Oh, and the son is one ugly bastard.  End of rant.
