Was it just owner Al Davis' old contrarian approach to league matters as the Raiders were the only club to abstain from voting on the new labor deal in Atlanta? The Raiders have a history of litigation against the league, including numerous lawsuits related to their domain rights and moves back and forth from Los Angeles.

Here's the Raiders' explanation to Comcast SportsNet Bay Area via CEO Amy Trask:
"We have profound philosophical differences on a number of issues -- both of a football and economic nature," Trask said in an email. "We have consistently expressed our views on these matters to the league."

This made me laugh out loud the first time I read it and it's worth the share if you haven't see it.

"We have profound philosophical differences on a number of issues -- both of a football and economic nature." :laughing-019:

We should be so lucky. I think the guys really a vampire who can't die. Right now he's sleeping in a coffin filled with earth from his homeland, wherever the fvck that is. He'll wake up to suck some more NFL blood very soon now. He hasn't filed a lawsuit in a while.
