so you criticize Raiders fans for not showing up to games, but at the same time you talk about how the economy is bad and prevents you from going to a lot of games
there goes that pot calling the kettle black
GTFOH
you do understand that just because we're possibly pushing for a division lead that blackouts are still likely to occur because season ticket sales were low before the season
it is what it is though... we've been losing for 7 straight seasons... you love to point that fact out all the time, but don't take it into consideration when you talk shit about our blackouts
with that being said... I'm gonna try to be in the building on Sunday... gonna try to cop some tickets tomorrow
the economy is shit everywhere man, not just in oakland. there has been 13 blackouts sofar this season in the entire nfl. ya'll have 4 of those and the others are more then likely detroit, jax, tb and maybe carolina or arizona. there is still some pretty shitty teams out there that manage to avoid the blackouts though. alot of those same fan bases are not as big as the raiders either.
and we've been pretty shitty the last few years too ya know. yet we didn't get blacked out when the lowly jags and bills just came to town recently. in that same 3 year span, we've only had 1 fuckin' blackout. ya'lls fan base is just littered with a bunch of bandwagon jumping, fair-weathered fake ass fans and you know it.
i just feel sorry for the real fans that know the rivalry through n' through that won't beable to watch it because its going to be a great game with meaning this time.
the blackout rule sucks as we all know but to try and blame alot of it on the economy is horseshit because people are still managing to make it to the games in bunches...just not in oakland right?
