And the best part:
"
However, Adelson was apparently dismayed at details of the proposed agreement, which included, according to the Nevada Independent, the Raiders paying just $1 a year to rent the facility, plus the team controlling aspects such as scheduling UNLV football games at the facility, stadium decorations and revenue from the sale of naming rights.
"
So playing in the stadium is worth a McDouble a year?
Goldman Sachs is OUT!
I called it. Me.
One day after billionaire business mogul Sheldon Adelson pulled the plug on his financial backing of the proposed Raiders stadium in Las Vegas, Goldman Sachs — the next chief financial backer — followed suit.
A source familiar with the $1.9 billion stadium deal told NBC Bay Area that the investment bank is not committed to financially supporting the stadium deal unless future proceedings seat Adelson at the table.

A tragedy in four parts:
some terms of the raiders deal...mark davis pulled a fast one
1) $750 million in public funding, $650 million from adelson (or if he backs out, goldman sachs), $500 million combined from davis and the NFL
2) raiders have naming rights of the stadium
3) raiders rent only $1 per year
4) raiders keep revenue from signage/sponsorship

So you were lol'ing spurraider for the raiders moving to vegas, and now you're lol'ing him since they're staying in Oakland?
Enjoy playing another decade in the Coliseum Raiduhz...
I'm just lol'ing the Raiders in general, tbh.
In fairness: if the Vegas thing doesn't work out (which seems to be the likely outcome now), I could see Davis trying San Diego next. If he can get a stadium built in Mission Valley, I might actually root for the Raiders as a big -you to Dean and the Chargers.
Raider Nation
I actually hope they move to Utah or San Antonio, tbh.
Or portland
While it was nice to see Davis not give scamcino owner Adelson all he was trying to extort.....
Davis went completely to the other extreme.
NFL and Casino owners. No end to their greed.
Ain't gonna happen, but if only the entire public would boycott both the NFL and Scamcinos for an entire season. Bring these phuckers to their knees. Well I guess it would take 10 years of boycotting to dry up their gold piles.
A bunch of injuns tbh. Both kinds.While it was nice to see Davis not give scamcino owner Adelson all he was trying to extort.....

Wouldn't mind a 3rd LA team honestly.
Tom Brady gonna build Trump's wall in Mexico for him with all those perfectly placed rocks
bank of america steps in for adelson/sachs... league expected to approve the move in a vote later this month
Apparently not very long:
The Oakland Raiders' bid to relocate to Las Vegas has hit another financial roadblock that could put the team's planned move to the desert in jeopardy, a source told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.
With billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson angrily withdrawing from the Raiders' stadium deal on Monday, investment bank Goldman Sachs is also re-evaluating its relationship with the planned deal, a source close to the negotiations told Shelburne.
