1)Dance moves?!? Really?!?
2)You still won’t tell anyone where you get the whole, insanely stupid ISIS crap.
3)Who’s “we”, and why are they watching? Why should it concern anyone?

You say a lot of “clever” words that don’t mean anything to anyone but you, but you can’t seem to answer a simple question.

I can always get a reaction out of you! I ask a simple football question, and you launch into that ridiculous, worn out ISIS baloney. Who’s angry? I’m amused and mildly curious as to why you can’t answer a simple question. Are you that delusional, or simply deflecting because you don’t have a viable answer? If you’re really a British intellectual (which I don’t think you are), then YOU’RE the foreigner. Maybe YOU’RE the anti-American, huh?

They don't need one if they are playing the Cowboys. Half the world will be Raiders fans for a weekend.

I say this matchup would be the most popular because the Cowboys and Raiders have been the two most controversial teams since the merger.

This is due to many factors. The first is historic perception. The Raiders have always enjoyed being the "bad guys" whereas the Cowboys had always tried to project that All-American wholesome image. The keyword here is "tried".

The second factor is that this matchup in the Super Bowl is long overdue. I count seven times in which they missed playing each other in the SB by a single game. When one of these teams made it to the SB, the other one would lose the Conference championship game.

The 3rd factor is their maverick patriarchs, Al Davis and Jerry Jones. They both had a long reputation of "challenging the process" , that is, getting on the nerves of the commisioner.

I think the Super Bowl would be popular, but not for any hatred reasons.

I mentioned this in another thread. Winning breeds hatred. At one point the raiders were the most hated team. Cowboys were close. Who hates the raiders now? Probably not even their own division rivals.

The Cowboys managed to keep some hatred alive, but no one under the age of 35 know the Cowboys to be winners. So besides fans from dividing rivals, I don't see much hate coming from fans.

I beg to differ. Attended a Raiders-Bucs game in Tampa a few years ago.
Silver and Black well-represented - a good number of them younger (under 35).
Marcus Allen was on the sideline.

Devante Adams was a Packer his first eight years in the league.
He just joined the Raiders this past spring in free agency.
Besides - jersey sales of an individual player (and a recently acquited one at that) does not relect the popularity of a team across the country.

It does more so then it doesnt

the DC have had more than one player top 10 in Jersey sales many years regardless of the teams record.

According to NFL.com. - June 2022 top jersey sales -- Las Vegas Raiders Devante Adams #17 was No.1.

Guess that debunks 'Reid1boys' claim that the Raiders are not an a popular NFL team nationally.
