Yeah but Houston was Christina Hendricks fat. SA is chola fat. Hey, it could happen.
Houston was the fat chick and they beat LA to get the Texans. SA just has to beat Oakland.

Because I disagree with you I'm a troll and a ty alt? How about facing the facts?
See what the league did to St. Louis? They were going to five the Rams a new stadium. They didn't care. I don't think we should care if the NFL is here or not.
The facts that the Raiders are getting shut out of LA and have been playing on one year leases in Oakland?
So that means automatic SA move? They are going to move from Oakland to a slightly better Oakland?
Where did I say that?
San Antonio mayor Henry Cisneros really wants the Raiders to come to his city
With Los Angeles getting the Rams to play in their city once again, San Antonio is now making a play to get the Oakland Raiders to pack up and head east to Texas.
As the team has found it more and more difficult to secure a new stadium deal with Oakland, Raiders owner Mark Davis is feeling a bit left out of the LA fun, as the NFL also allowed the Chargers the option to play in Los Angeles with the Rams.
San Antonio mayor Henry Cisneros has offered Davis a solution though, as Cisneros wants the Raiders to play in the Alamo City.
According to the San Antonio Business Journal, Cisneros says now is the time for local leaders in San Antonio to make their pitch for the NFL to come to their city.
“The stakes are so high for a city like San Antonio that is on the cusp of being an NFL market that it is worth making every effort,” Cisneros told the SABJ. “This may be our best chance in decades.”
San Antonio Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Richard Perez, who also was involved in talks of relocating the Raiders to San Antonio, agreed with Mayor Cisneros.
Perez said that he’s confident that the Raiders will inquire about moving to San Antonio, saying that, “I am confident they are going to call. We need to be ready when they do.”
After fellow NFL owners awarded Los Angeles the potential of having two NFL teams during a January 12 meeting, some writers reported that Davis looked extremely upset with the decision.
CBS San Fransisco reporter Christin Ayers even said that Davis “sounded like a man who has no intention of keeping the Raiders in Oakland.”
Yeah, the Whorns (along with most big-time P5 teams) are basically a pro team anyway.
Well it would be awesome for San Antonio and I would definitely follow the team closer, but I'm still not willing to change my team. In the NFL, I'm a Raven for life.
Agree, as a life long Packers fan I wouldnt be changing team either. The Raiders could be my AFC team or something though. I would definitely support them and go to some games.
I might like it if the NFL were here, but the Raiders? Meh.
The Raiders should move to San Antonio for three major reasons
The Oakland Raiders should "Remember the Alamo" when choosing a new home city. San Antonio could offer it all.

The city of San Antonio has made no secret of their desire to land an NFL franchise.
Now, the Oakland Raiders are available. A move to South Texas might offer them the long-term stadium solution they couldn't find in Los Angeles or Oakland.
Here are three major reasons why owner Mark Davis will heavily weigh his options and move to the Lone Star State:
1. San Antonio has a built-in stadium: The Rams and Chargers can move to Los Angeles tomorrow; they've got the Rose Bowl and the Coliseum to claim as temporary homes. San Antonio has a similar solution for Davis' team in the aging, but useful Alamodome. That stadium was good enough to house the Katrina-displaced Saints in 2005; it can keep the Raiders satisfied until a new home is built.
2. He gets two huge markets for the price of one: Davis' Los Angeles pitch hinged upon the steadfast loyalty of his Northern California fan base. That two-pronged approach is exactly what'll help his team prosper in Texas. The relocated Raiders should attract fans from San Antonio and nearby Austin -- the seventh and 11th-most populous American cities, respectively.
3. It lets him dig at Jerry Jones: The quirky Cowboys owner led the charge to exclude the Raiders from Los Angeles earlier this week. Davis, the son of a notorious revenge-seeking owner, won't sit quietly in Oakland when he can move his team into Jones' backyard . Be careful what you wish for, Jerry.
Knew 3 was a big one when BatManu posted it. Jerry stay helping us.
Media now pushing the debate just like LMA.
USAA getting involved is beyond gigantic. Also reports of 12 corporations ready to be heavily involved, luxury suites etc.. Is gigantic as well.
If the city is smart they offer the Alamodome rent free in return to give time to find a suitable location to build a stadium.
Then enact a 2 cent hotel motel sales tax to pay for it and rescind it immediately upon completion of paying off the stadium I.E. Like the Alamodome. That gets it done and the Raiders here.
Raiders would be my AFC team also, and I would forsure get season tickets and cheer them on
Regarding dozen or so corporate sponsors, my guess would be:
USAA
HEB
Valero
Rackspace
Toyota
KIA
State Farm
at&t
Coca-Cola
SWBC
Holt Cat
Taco Cabana
Miracle b
Add Frost Bank to that list...
Houston proved that a well-organized group has a chance, and San Antonio seems to have learned from that example. Beats the out of a stadium-shaped cake.
There is no TV Market Problem. All teams share equally the TV Revenue from the NFL. There are over 5 mil people in South Texas, not including the Mexican stations the NFL could pickup. In any case, since a team is moving from the central time zone, the NFL would more than likely want to put one back in it.
So you were originally a Cleveland fan?
Slightly better. City of Oakland is broke. They have no money to give Davis. Plus I read the new stadium would cost over 2 billion dollars due to the new roads and public amenities that would have to be constructed. With A's building their own complex, Davis has to foot the bill himself or find investors. Good look with that as the Raiders have been in bottom 3 in the NFL is Net Profit for the past decade.
It would take an investor 30+ years just to get their money back at that rate. Look at the Texans. No matter how bad they do, they make around 150Mil a season in PROFITS. That is over 100mil more than the Raiders do.
