I guess that means they'll follow them still on TV/internet like the rest of their fans across America and abroad.
Just like I'd said really!
Fancy that.
I do know what your problem is but I said that many wouldn't travel, then you agreed they wouldn't travel then I posted a survey to back my point and you started rabbiting on as if I'd said the opposite of what I said.
You're actually arguing with yourself again
You started off by saying -

I simply said American's don't behave that way - very few follow their teams (NFL, NHL, MLB, NBL, etc) away from home normally because of the vast distances and costs, so are hardly likely to follow Oakland to Vegas every week or stop following them altogether because they feel betrayed but instead continue their support of them just like the rest of their fans across their country do - by TV/cable/internet.
Instead of accepting I knew what I was talking about you dug up some stats to bolster your original statement, which instead proved the point I was telling you.
I don't understand why you always try to defend to the death that you haven't made a mistake, learned something you didn't know, or whatever it is that you do but when all said and done it is only the internet and we all make mistakes/get things wrong from time to time.
I don't even follow American Football ffs, I was only trying to help enlighten you of how sports fans over there react differently than they do over here.
The fans who supported Raiders in the Oakland area won't feel 'betrayed', will still continue to support them even though they are in Vegas now and are obviously extremely unlikely to travel to see their games (some 8 hour drive away, then another 8 hours more returning) as they used to when the team was based on their doorstep!
It's as simple as that.
And certainly IS'NT what you originally were saying.
