If you live in Oakland, CA, you are, undoubtedly a Raiders Fan. The Oakland Raiders have built a fan base over the years that is by far unique in its intensity, stemming from the raving lunatics that show up at their games, extremist fans, that would walk through hell if the team was on a road trip there. A fan base that took decades to build, and could now come crashing down, to be replaced with a location that has never had a Professional Football team, and is flanked by two powerhouse fan bases in Houston and Dallas with the Texans and the Cowboys.
To the north in Dallas, the Cowboys could lose every game for the next decade and still be one of the richest franchises on earth. Why? because of the marketing of the brand, Cowboy fans, apparel, bumper stickers, jeep wheel coverings, and gear is everywhere, and especially in Texas, which happens to be the second largest state in the U.S. behind Alaska, which has a tenth of the population in Texas.
In the South of Texas lays the fan base fertility zone with Houston and the new Oilers team, called the Texans. This team would have made another loud splash in the Gulf of Mexico had it not been for the Cinderella first season where the Texans did such a great job in playing and raising the stakes in fan manipulation that its stock shot through the roof, and loyal fans became a fixture in the stadium for each and every game. It probably helps that the Texans only real competitor in Houston is the Astros, which haven't done anything worth writing about in 20 years. Google does not have a definition for Oilers or Astros, they have to be added to the dictionary for your computer before they turn black from the unknown red underline, to help with the notion that these two teams are irrelevant in the sports world.
So, what are the pros and cons with moving the much propaganda gangland team from Oakland to San Antonio?
Pros:
1. No more gangland propaganda reputation as a bunch of thugs that used to play on the Alcatraz all stars before joining the NFL.
2. Putting a team in San Antonio swallows up ten economies to include Austin, the capital of Texas, who's only claim to Sports fame is a reorganized and newly coached Texas Longhorns.
3. Yep, that's it.
Cons:
1. The San Antonio who? No fan base, tons of Spurs fans, no history, no apparel, no marketing, and most importantly, NO STADIUM! So, this would be a start up franchise with no foundation, in an area that doesn't have a football reputation, coming out of bad economy, which means prices will be high, the hotdog will be attempted to be sold at $6 with ketchup and mustard an extra .$75 per packet.
2. Team is dead in the water in 5 years, and after each of the banks in the area have loaned out every dead cent available.
My advice. Leave the team in Oakland, invest in the infrastructure of the Raiders name, and build a fan base that has more legs than the striped members of Folsom Prison.
