Disgruntled Raiders fans ask Davis to hire GM​

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Disgruntled Oakland Raiders fans are making a high-profile plea for owner Al Davis to step down as the team's general manager.​

A billboard was posted on the freeway near the Oakland Coliseum this week, saying "MR. DAVIS, DO THE RIGHT THING, PLEASE HIRE A GM."​

The group the put up the billboard says it has gathered 21,000 signatures for a petition asking Davis to step down as general manager. The petition also calls on Davis to hire a new GM, hire a Super Bowl-caliber coach, and "agree to refrain from intervention in personnel or football operational matters."​

The Raiders (3-8) have won three Super Bowls under Davis' leadership but appear headed to a seventh straight losing season. Oakland's 27-80 record since the start of the 2003 season is the worst in the NFL.​

Hopefully those Raider fans used the money they would have spent on season tickets next year. Stop paying for bad football and hold some of these jack*** owners accountable. Ditto for the Cleveland Browns fans...

Maybe Cowboy fans should do the same thing?
