13 Reasons Why the Raiders Suck

by wtnelson on Dec 17, 2009 9:31 PM MST

Now, we all know that there are many more than just 13 reasons why the Raiders suck, but it would take the rest of my natural life to divulge all of them. I've picked my top 13 to share for Raider Week.

1. Al Davis is their owner.

2. They typically end up being the NFL's most penalized team.

3. The NFL has to make up several rules each year because of the Raiders' unsportsmanlike conduct.

4. The majority of their players belong in prison rather than on the football field.

5. Their fans are comprised mostly of criminals and low-lifes. Hell, Darth Vader is known to appear at their games.

6. Allegedly, the player with the lowest IQ ever in the NFL was a Raider.

7. The Raiders have more criminal incidents at their games than every other team except the Eagles.

8. Their fans always riot in the rare instance that they win big games.

9. The Raiders have to cheat all the time just to give themselves a chance to win.

10. I've seen 2 people steal from a local sports store, and both times, it was Raiders clothing.

11. Oakland just sucks.

12. One word: California. (OK, I know some of you are Californians, but if you live in Colorado, you understand the disdain for the seemingly hundreds of thousands of Californian immigrants that move here every year.)

13. I'm pretty sure that Orange and Blue are much better colors than silver and black.

14. Lester Hayes

I remember when Lester Hayes tried to gouge out Vance Johnson’s eyes after a play. That was one mean Mofo.

I still contend the NFL is a better league when the Raiders are good.

Indeed it is

Even though they’re not, though, I will still bear my Raider hater pride during Raider week.

Honestly, though, I miss the Raiders. It’s just not as much fun when they’re no good.

Seriosuly?

Your stereotyping…The Raider players have stayed out of trouble this year..And Denvers the once with Brandon right? Who belongs in prison again? And 3 of your reasons are just proving Oakland fans have more pride than any other fan in the league

Yes, I believe that stereotyping is the point in an attempt at humor.

And yes, we are the ones with Brandon. I’m curious though, which 3 reasons are they that show that oakland fans have more pride? Is it Al? He was great a few decades ago… but the others two?

Other 2

Rioting after a big win…Means we care, through all the losses, we go wild after a big win..Who wouldnt though?

Stealing from stores…Shows even though we dont have money for McFadden jerseys, we will do whatever we can to support our team.

HaHa

Good point..Tom is a different one..But I believe alot of those wife beating reports were just a sorry attempt to pick on Oakland.

I think the old stories of Cable

were intended for the NFL to dole out some justice in case the police didn’t press charges. Seems like he’s got a few enemies out there. Thanks for coming over to MHR. You’re a welcome fan in my book.

Ah...conspiracy theory!!!

the once?

please, continue to prove why stereotypes exist :p

Because Montana has no professional sports, I gotta support the land of my birth.
