First off I have been an AVID Raider Fan since I was a kid (and I am 38 now) and grew up in L.A., but now live in the East Bay. My old man was a Raider Fan and I remember watching the '76 SB win, the '80 SB win and since I was still living in L.A. at the time was lucky enough to go to many of the games during the '83 SB win. Now that I have been living in the East Bay, I have had the chance to see them play at L.A., Oakland and S.D. Now you are right, there are a lot of 'gang-fans', as I put them in L.A., who love them for the colors and looks and don't know much about football, and they did cause shit in L.A. and S.D (both as the LA Raiders and Oakland Raiders) as they are so close to S.D., but up here in Oakland you don't get that. True you get those crazy fuckers all dressed up, up here, but that is nothing but diehard fans, who love, live and support the Raiders through the good and the bad. And if you think they are white trash because of that you are fucking ignorant. If S.D. was playing like they did before Marty S. came on board and took the Head Coaching job, you would not be talking smack. Yea Raiders have sucked the last 3 years; I hate it, but accept it and hope the best every fucking year. But before the last 3 years, they were in the playoffs the prior 3 years making it to the SuperBowl once and to the AFC Championship game the other 2 times. S.D. has never made it to the superbowl, an AFC championship game or even gone past the first round of playoffs (regardless if it was a Wild Card or Divsional game), if memory serves me right. So simmer down there boy, enjoy that you guys are playing better for now, but know that the Raiders will have a rise as all teams do sooner or later (As Cincin is now). Also, one more thing there junior, we have a 54-34-2 record against the Chargers, and I also remember during the Chargers bad years (which were many), when the Raiders were playing in S.D. that was the only time your stadium would be more than half filled because of L.A. fans of the Raiders coming down, so bite on that moron.
on Raider Nation.
