ZitatThe Oakland Raiders have filed paperwork to move to Las Vegas.
The NFL and officials in Nevada confirmed Thursday that the team is asking league owners to approve the move, although the team made no immediate comment and a group that wants to keep the team in Oakland vowed it was still in the game and "playing to win."
Clark County Commission Chairman Steve Sisolak made the filing of paperwork public on Twitter, and told The Associated Press he spoke with team officials.
"I am happy to see the process moving forward, and greatly appreciate the commitment of the Raiders and work of the Adelson family to the hope of making Las Vegas the home of the Raiders," Sisolak said.
Please note I do not add this because I am a sports fan. In fact, quite the opposite. It is news, however.
The Chargers are moving to LA. The Raiders want to move to LV. More evidence of team loyalty to the fans, or another reason why I loathe professional sports.
