If Im a Raider fan Im VERY f***in angry today.
A 39 year Raider fan is trying to decide whether or not to continue to be a Raider fan.
A move like this can bury a team for years. All it's doing is telling future players if you do everything right, be a model player/citizen, work at your craft, and become one of the best in the league...we won't pay you. There's also distrust in a locker room, because Gruden brought in all these 30+ year old players, meaning "win now". Then he trades the best player, which means "rebuilding", with future draft picks.
I was so emotional and angry yesterday that I had to really evaluate why something like this would affect me so deeply. Ever since I moved to Houston a year ago and constantly see all of the community support the Texans, Astros, and Rockets have here, it has had them grow on me bit by bit. And then this happens, putting everything I've ever held dear, from a fan perspective, in question.
So yeah...angry is one word for it.
