The colleseum is such a family oriented place... not even joking. Everyone is a big family over there because being a raider fan is a way of life. RN4L!
When the Coronavirus hit and the lockdowns began I started to do a lot of reading. Mostly football. In high school I had a teacher who was a die hard fan of Canadian Football giants Saskatchewan Roughriders. She encouraged me to get to know what true football is. While a play off game in the CFL a close friend of mine pointed out a fanatic that was painted from head to chest in her team's colour. He said to me "If you want o see true football fanatics? Look up The Oakland Raiders." So I did. Now I am a Raiders follower. Looking forward to telling her next time I see her.
This is a great video! Thank you for highlighting the positive fans. I know the Raiders aren't that great right now. I still support my football club. Always will. Same with my baseball club, the New York Mets. I will support both with my head held high. Most of our Raider Nation fan base are well behaved and good people. Oakland is a beautiful city and not snobby like S.F. Good times everywhere.
I love the Raiders and the city of Oakland. Everyone around the country only hears the bad and negative things about this city but there's a lot more to it than just violence and thugs. The city is amazing and has so many different things to do. If you ever get the chance to stay here take some time to explore it, do your research and you will have a great time.
Oakland was great. Another experience that was surprisingly impressive was in Jacksonville (who would have thought!). It happened several times during this project that our experience did not match what we expected going in.
***** its good to like a team in there good and bad years.ive been a seahawks fan since they were brand new.i remember the days when the seahawks probably couldn't beat a high school junior varsity team.but I stayed with them. its 1 thing to be a die-hard fan,its another to be an asshole about it,and that's just what many raider fans are! why cant the cool raider fans get these arrogant jerks under control?
idk why people thinkn all Riader fans are thugs who will kill you or jump you. that's them whiner fans who always stab and jump each other in the restrooms at games...smh. it must be the SILVER AND BLACK! that makes people think we are criminals. but we are not! RN4L!
I grew up knowing a few raider fans in Idaho,some were cool,some weren't.i served in the marine corps with 1 raider fan I was pretty good friends with.he was a black guy born and raised in Oakland whose entire civilian wardrobe had either raiders or As logos.even on the occasions he wore a suit he had a raiders lapel pin. but he was cool to people who didn't like his teams. but the majority of raiders fans ive met are loud mouthed arrogant jerks ready for a fight if you hate there team.i have a weird idea,why don't the cool raider fans square the arrogant jerks away? people wouldn't think so negatively of raider fans if theyd police themselves!
***** okay,heres my true feelings about the raiders.the opposing team that plays them on any given day needs to be my parents when I messed up as a kid!; and the raiders need to be my butt when I messed up as a kid! but heres the difference,when I messed up as a kid,the parent I did it around merely showed me that a belt was good for something besides holding up pants or skirts,or a paddle was good for something besides decorating a wall! in short,i got my butt spanked and didn't sit down comfortably for an hour or 2!,but the raiders need to get their asses kicked royally,they need to be beaten like a carton of eggs when a chef makes omolets, they need to be humiliated beyond all reason.i hate the raiders terribly,and after a childhood of the dozen or so raiders fans I knew growing up in st.maries Idaho always picking fights or threatening anyone who didn't like there team,then in Oakland 1 time down by the container port I was forwarned that wearing my seahawks or chargers hat in public could get me ganged up on,what the hell am I supposed to think? I realize not all raiders fans are like that,and I realize the raiders aren't the only team with asshole fans! but come on,the raiders are the most penalized team in football,their players intentionally commit fouls that sometimes hurt players of other teams.i understand al davis not only tolerated his team playing dirty,he actually condoned it! when I was a kid my dad coached my minor league baseball team,he was a fair coach who let everyone play and didn't get mad if we lost!, well once when I was about 10 I got struck out and I went and punched the opposing teams' pitcher,he took me out of the game and made me wait in the car! when we got home he took off his belt and gave me a dozen or so hard licks,afterwards explaining you never start a fight or intentionally hurt someone just because the game doesn't go your way! I think its a disgrace to not only have the most intentional penalties,but to be proud of it.why do the raiders have that Barbary coast pirate mentality.the Yankees don't go around waging civil wars with baseball teams from the south,the chargers don't try to electrocute people! so why do a lot of raiders players play dirty?why do a lot of the fans act like thugs? why do you decent fans tolerate it? why don't you decent fans do something about it? ive heard that if Oakland doesn't clean up their act the raiders will be moved out of there! I understand the raiders are a major source of revenue in that city,if I were one of you decent fans id be mad as hell at the dickheads who are jeopardizing a form of revenue in an already economicly challenged city! id be ready to stomp some asses over that one!

***** you people can vacation in san Salvador for all I give a shit! but ive been to Oakland more times than I care to remember and have more than earned my opinion!
***** and Oakland is one miserable place! there are towns south of Oakland in the south bay area that aren't bad at all; ive delivered to mbm in pleasenton and that's actually a pretty nice town! Hayward isn't bad,I never really minded union city, but Oakland,alameda,concord,san Francisco,villaio,no thanks!
RaiderNation is the #1 fanbase in America!!!!
