He seems to be a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tommy White of the Las Vegas Stadium Authority told this news organization Monday morning in Phoenix that the lease will get done next month _ “by May at the latest”.
The outspoken Green was asked his opinion about the move after Tuesday night’s victory over the Houston Rockets. And he responded by ripping the National Football League franchise for deciding to pick up and leave their loyal fan base behind.
Members of a laborers union celebrate the Raiders move, Monday, March 27, 2017, in Las Vegas. The first thing I want them all to know is that just remember, the 30 percent rule; 30 percent of the team changes so don’t worry about what we’re going to be doing two or three years from now. “And I think maintaining those rivalries is very important for the Chiefs and obviously very important for our fans”. “No way I would pay my money to attend a game”.
National Football League owners approved the Raiders’ move with a 31-1 vote.
“I’ve been through it and we did fairly well, but I really don’t like this move”, said Flores from his home near Palm Desert, Calif.
The only owner to vote against the Raiders’ move was Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, who apparently didn’t think the Raiders did enough to try to stay in Oakland.
“Apparently there are a lot of Raider fans already living here, but it still sucks” Arnold Payne of Fresno said.
Here in the Bay Area, Raiders fans are understandably mournful.
It will be the second time the Raiders will have left Oakland – the franchise played in Los Angeles from 1982 to 1993 – but Green is appalled by the move. I won’t attend a game.
The letter was in response to additional details Schaaf released publicly on Friday regarding the last-minute efforts from the city to keep the Raiders in Oakland. “I’ve been a fan my whole life so seeing them leave Oakland is a tough pill to swallow”. “You just don’t do that”.
NFL executives were not moved by Oakland investors saying they could start building a new football stadium nearly immediately.
However, others say the move will give the franchise a boost and ensure the team has a suitable stadium to play home games in.
