Raiders here in oakland. Were committed to we got the as to stay. We are committed to keeping the raiders and trying to work on the warrior. How much is real and how much is gamesmanship . We have to say san antonio has been used as leverage before by teams looking to get a better deal at home. And the city is used to being a bargaining chip for sports franchises.
