Only when the old owners who hated Al and the team, die off, and the "officials" forget (are called off) they're supposed to watch the RAIDERS reeeeeally close, will it ever end.heavyD » Fri May 26, 2023 9:24 am
It seems like S&B colors still elicits biases from some officials but I feel it's slowly getting better and as the old officials move out and new ones come in that things will eventually settle out to normal. I don't think you could dispute that something was going on for some time as entire roster and coaching generations turned over and for some strange reason players became automatically less disciplined in the eyes of officials when they put on Raiders colors.BigJerk » Fri May 26, 2023 9:33 am

Can't hurt to hope!heavyD wrote Fri May 26, 2023 9:38 am:Yeah I've read that a few years ago. It's hard to argue against the data presented. That said it's spilt milk and I believe things will get better as the generations of officials come and go.

Most of those "old owners" are long gone: Gene Klein, Art Modell, Lamar Hunt, Georgia Frontiere, Pat Bowlen, Billy Sullivan, Ralph Wilson and others have all died, retired or sold out. We've been a mediocre team and mediocre organization for the last two decades. The idea that the NFL is still trying to "stick it to us" is pure narcissism. If you really think Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti gives a damn what Art Modell and Al Davis (both dead for over a decade) thought of each other, I have some awesome Arizona beachfront property to sell you.Vercingetorix wrote Fri May 26, 2023 7:46 am:Only when the old owners who hated Al and the team, die off, and the "officials" forget (are called off) they're supposed to watch the RAIDERS reeeeeally close, will it ever end.
IMO, anyway.

Also: Check out other NFL team boards or social media pages when you have the chance. Literally every fanbase in the NFL thinks the officials have it out for them.
