No.. god no.. It happens often when sports franchises move though. Plus I dont think NFL has any plans on expansion so getting a team there would take longer, as opposed to just moving a team. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I also think the NFL is still trying to distance itself from the whole gambling theme, so them changing to something gambling related would probably never happen, even if they wanted it to.
I like the Raiders though. I wouldn't change the name anyways. --- Not changing this sig until Pat Benatar is in Super Smash Bros. (Started 8/31/2010) BRAVELY DEFAULT: 1075 - 0844 - 9134 + FS: Pumkaboo, Lampent, Dusclops. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Isn't there some kind of rule against gambling-themed names? I think that was an issue for the new NHL team, but I don't know if that was an NHL-specific rule or something bigger.
I don't think they should change it; they didn't change it when they moved to LA before and "Raiders" is generic enough that it fits anywhere. I suppose it fits better in a coastal state, but I'm not sure if the name ever came from any actual historical significance with pirates. "Golden Warriors" seems like a further insult to the fans in Oakland, since it's similar to "Golden State Warriors", which is the Oakland-area basketball team. ... Copied to Clipboard!
