Because at one point the city of Oakland negotiated with the Raiders and the NFL in good faith, put hundreds of millions of dollars into a stadium where the Raiders and NFL could host their games, and are not stuck with nothing. If they can send $50 million checks to each franchise as part of their "relocation fees", they could do the right thing and help out the citizens of Oakland.
Look, I get it, based on your comments (some of which don't make economic sense) you are going to tow the corporate line no matter what. So at this point I will bid you a good day and say we will have to agree to disagree.
