A lot of NFL owners are old school in the philosophy that you don’t move a franchise and now former Oakland Raider Ronnie Lott has formed a group and said he can do something for the Raiders and save them from moving out of Oakland it’s questionable if Las Vegas would be an option in the near future. As long as the city of Oakland is moving forward and their willing to move in that direction and it would be doubtful that the franchise is going to move.

Your fighting two different elements here, one the gambling element, lot of owners are very traditional in their thought process. You don’t put a franchise in Vegas because they could damage the overall shield of the NFL. The Raiders are an original AFL team in Oakland they moved to Los Angeles once already and moved back to Oakland in 1995 and they’ve sold out every game this season.
