At one time one of the most successful franchises in the NFL but lately?
Nearly every year they 'appear' to address obvious flaws and seem to be making bold moves to compete.... and yet they almost always fail.
I have to hand it to their fans, however, who stick no matter what. Where I live you're either a Niner fan or a Raider fan, (the rest of us are a VERY small minority). When the Raiders moved to Vegas I thought most of the fans around here would drop them and become Niner fans... that did NOT happen... I don't know a single Raider fan that changed allegiance when they moved to Vegas.
I can't speak to the Raider fans in Oakland itself... no idea if the majority of them still root for them or not.
But to hell with Raider fans.... RAM fans, around me. The '99 season actually DID bring some in this area to the Rams. I don't run into them often but it DOES happen. It's actually GREAT fun to spot a guy at some event wearing Ram's gear.... we ALWAYS greet each other, if possible.
I'm headed to Anaheim in a couple weeks... be interesting to see how many people I see wearing Ram's gear. We discussed this on the board before... many saying there are more fans of other teams than the Rams... that was NOT my experience. At Disneyland, and surrounding attractions, I saw FAR more Ram's gear being worn than any other team. - - it wasn't close. - JamesJM
