Dancing around the question with that "not sure until it happens" response.

That's right, you were a little kid when the Raiders left. I was 14 when they left, it devastated me. I decided to stick with them though, and now that trip is taking me to rooting for a Las Vegas team. But if they moved to Texas, I was done.

But if they moved to Texas, I was done. not really an age thing, I was a hardcore laker fan in '95...football just didn't interest me that much back then. I remember losing the raiders and rams, but I didn't really follow the nfl like that. I liked the raiders casually, but wasn't invested enough to care that much. I do remember starting to feel upset that there wasn't football in LA around 2002 when the Raiders was in the superbowl, and I fuxed wit them from the side, but never really followed like that.....this is the first year I really followed a team 100.

But I do think it's an age thing. 1995, the Raiders were in Oakland. 1994 was their last year in LA, and they barely missed the playoffs in the last game, went 9-7 and no one had any clue they'd leave, unlike the Rams which it was know about October. But it is an age thing, because at the LA Raiders height, with NWA in Raider gear, at the same time Bo Jackson was running over "The Boz" on Monday Night Football, with Tom Flores and Art Shell as the first two minority head coaches for a team in LA which has a large Mexican and Black populations, the Raiders at their height was LA. I mean, the franchise now, it's very Bay Area culture. Which is fine. It's not the same team it was in the late-80's-early-90's. That culture is gone, and it's fine. But at the time, there was no Black Hole in LA, even in the 70's in Oakland, the fans in Oakland were more pirate Raider image fans. In LA, it was very, streets, very South Central, yet very Hollywood with Bo and Marcus Allen.
It's an age thing for sure though like M Dogg said. I'm just a little younger and would've been 11 or 12 but I remember. LA was all Raiders, and I never even really knew anyone who was a Rams fan. It was like the Lakers and Clippers (obviously before when the Lakers sucked and the Clips got good), if that analogy explains anything. I would have loved for the Raiders to come back instead of either team. But I wasn't a Rams fan when they were in LA before, and I gave them a shot but couldn't get into them.Dogg brings up a good point about how much the Raiders were a part of the culture here, especially in the streets. I remember how at school, they used to send us home with letters to our parents saying that they discouraged wearing Raiders stuff.
I will say, you get into football at an older age. I wasn't into football until like, 9 years old. Basketball I was into at 5. I wanted to be Magic, Magic's smile on TV got me hooked. Football, I mean I liked watching the 49ers with Joe Montana, but it wasn't until Bo Jackson and the Raiders that I really got into it.
