A Quick Note to Oakland Raiders Haters
Today's Must Reads
Firstly, as a loyal member of the Nation of Raiders I would like to thank all the people who take valuable time out of there days to dedicate an article to the Oakland Raiders. To the Negative writers, I ask you....What are the objectives of your writings? I read your articles as you bash Al Davis, Raider players, but most often the Raider Nation and I can’t help to think, why? Five seasons of losing records ITSELF couldn't destroy the loyalty which is inside a Raider Fan. So if years of defeat couldn't do it, do you believe YOU a puny little man behind a desk can do it? If you believe so that’s quite pathetic and I would tell you to quit your wasting your time. And I have to tell you, messing with Raider Fans isn't exactly the wisest decision to make. These men literally bleed Black & Silver and would do anything for those Oakland Raiders who put it on the line for them every Sunday. Not only that, when we refer ourselves to a Raider Nation we mean that exactly. We embrace each other as a Raider Family who shares a love for our team. No, believe it or not not all Raider fans where a Gorilla suit and play Halloween on Game day but guess what.... we love all our fans cause they love those Oakland Raiders. However they may choose to show their affection as a Raider Nation we admire and continue to cheer next to.So with that said I would like to just end by speaking to everyone, all fans, the Raider Nation and Bleacher Report Staff.... That Raider fans live and die for this sport. Massive Coliseums are built and are filled with thousands and thousands of Fans who feel just as involved in the Game as the 22 on the Field. So don’t bash our ethics and loyalties to our team because your not getting anywhere with those articles. Respect our owner, Respect our Team, Respect our Fans, Respect our Passion we all as Fans share for this sport.All Your negative articles on the Nation of Raiders are quite pathetic on your part, but thank you for showing interest in the Greatest Organization in the NFL and a team on the Rise to Greatness once again. Take care and God Bless-Andres Sanchez

1. What are the objectives of your writings?
To be quite honest, Andres, the objective is to enlighten you that walk blindly, who's sense of reality is wrapped around an "image" of a pirate, of all things, who's desperate to believe that someone/anyone "hates them" because they read somewhere it's a sign they're "feared", all the while refusing to accept the fact being picked on just means you're easy.
Hope that helps.
2. And I have to tell you, messing with Raider Fans isn't exactly the wisest decision to make. These men literally bleed Black & Silver and would do anything for those Oakland Raiders who put it on the line for them every Sunday.
See comment above on how pathetically predictable the meek and weak Raider fans are in their living vicariously through that same silly "Aarrruuugh...we's da pirates". Messing with Raider fans isn't the wisest decision to make? LMAO. Here's a reality check for ya, Andy..there is no team in the NFL that has more small, diminutive, meek lemming mode fans than the Raiders. And please, don't confuse a big fat gnarly slob who barely fits into his XXXXXXL shirt as scary. Only thing that's scary about the above is if he's in front of you in the buffet line. Every team has "BIG" fans (read: overweight) Only Raider fans believe they're now more prone to violence, not realizing they're actually much more prone to a cardiac arrest.
3. These men literally bleed Black & Silver and would do anything for those Oakland Raiders who put it on the line for them every Sunday.
What you meant to say is "Do anything EXCEPT support the team." See, there's a thing called loyalty, something Raider fans know little about. As I've already detailed elsewhere, you are the WORST at "do ANYTHING for those that put it on the line". See, players play on the field. Fans show up and buy tickets to support those guys on the field. Same in all the sports. THAT'S how you support your team..not by saying 'golly, we've had a handful plus of replies on a thread, we must be the best". Sorry Andy, but in reality you, and those other "faithful'?? You stay away in droves, and have more home games blacked out than any other team in the last 5 years. In the last 10 years only Arizona was worse, and that's because they sat on metal bleacher seats in 114 degree weather.
Now, why don't you explain how in YOURS or any other Raider fans mind that you can ever..as in EVER state Raider fans are loyal, dedicated, or..as you put it.."would do anything"???
BTW..You know, I know, and everyone knows you WON'T reply to that question. You can't. Means you have to admit you're wrong.
4. We embrace each other as a Raider Family who shares a love for our team."
LOL..uh...Andy?? The Raider coliseum has more fights per game than any other stadium. (yes, I know, to some of you you actually got jazzed at that thinking "Ya man, we's badasses")...however, here's another tidbit for ya, Andy...98% of those fights in the stands, I mean fights where sometimes teams have actually stopped just to gaze and say "damn" are Raider fans against Raider fans. Save that "we embrace each other as a family" garbage.
Funny how weak Raider poster after weak Raider poster runs the EXACT SAME SILLY WHINE, and then believes 'It must be true". Something tells me each and every Raider fan who buys into that also buys into the Nigerian Bank scam as well...lol...didn't you?
5. "Massive Coliseums are built and are filled with thousands and thousands of Fans who feel just as involved in the Game as the 22 on the Field."
that's true, Andy, pretty much around the NFL that happens..except in Oakland.
6. "So don’t bash our ethics and loyalties to our team because your not getting anywhere with those articles. Respect our owner, Respect our Team, Respect our Fans, Respect our Passion we all as Fans share for this sport."
Well, as long as Raider fans post those asinine articles about "loyalty" "support" and "fanbase" I have no doubt others will oh so politely correct you in a timely manner.
"Respect the fans"?? LMAO. You earn respect, something most Raider fans know nothing about. It's not a given. Not saying all Raider fans, at all..I know quite a few that have my total respect. But for some reason, (and YES, diehard long time Raider fans know exactly what I'm talking about) the idiots at the games...the lowlifes that start up crap with kids, or families, or in groups are almost ALWAYS walk up ticket buyers who buy into the "we have to go and be total AHOLES because I just bought a Raider ticket." those morons creating all the crap at games are rarely the season ticket holders..it's the idiots who make it clear they have no respect for anyone.
"Respect your owner"??? ROFLMFAO..how can you expect other fans to respect a guy that on ANY RAIDER BOARD I can point you to DOZENS of threads started by Raider fans who with he would die already, or step down???
Al has lost the respect of the NFL in general over20 years ago...and has lost the same from a huge majority of fans in the last 10 years.
And lastly, RaggityAndy, "a team on the Rise to Greatness once again."???? correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't it been dang near a QUARTER OF A CENTURY since the last time the Raiders tasted "Greatness"??? And since then, hasn't that same comment been the mantra for Raider fans at this time of year, only to be replaced with "Wait until next year" sometime around week 6 of each season?
Just curious. :)
Hope that helps in you wondering why the Raiders are such an easy target for us looking for a laugh.
After all, laughing is good. Try it sometime.
Ok, let me help. Think about the whole Al/Lame fiasco, where Al wanted him to resign so he wouldn't have to pay him, and Lame wants Al to fire him so he will have to pay him, and now you have a lameduck coach who's got Al determined to blindside him every chance he can this year......
See?? felt good laughing that hard, didn't it???
Glad I can help, Andy :)

I've noticed something about you, Andrea...you are of no substance.
You post silly inane threads, while never once stepping up to back up your words.
You get shredded, and you immediately retreat.
Instead of growing a pair, you post that stupid reply on my profile about "You want to be a Raider fan"??
Are you so slow you don't realize that's the ultimate waving of the white flag? Someone states your organization is a joke, the owner is an embarrassment, and the fans are the worst in the league, and all you can muster is "You want to be a Raider fan"??
Why even bother posting?
Look above..I slapped your sorryass around, and you come back with that weak reply, followed by that even weaker post on my profile. That crap is for kiddies..don't waste my time.
