On Friday, NFL commi sioner Roger Goodell sent a letter to Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf. In that letter, Goodell thanked Schaaf for her leadership in addre sing the  stadium needs in Oakland. He wrote that he was thankful she and her team were acce sible, creative, and diligent in exploring alternatives. He praised Schaaf for her valuable leadership.As Im sure you can tell, theres a coming  in that letter, Goodell certainly made it sound like the Raiders are leaving Oakland,  Trey Hopkins Jersey which shouldnt be unexpected at this point. Heres how Goodell ended his letter: Despite all of these efforts, ours and yours, we have not yet identified a viable solution. It is disappointing to me and our clubs to have come to that conclusion. At our upcoming meeting, the clubs will consider the Raiders application to move to Las Vegas. A key part of that discu sion will be a thorough review of our collective efforts in Oakland. I will contact you promptly regarding any decisions made next week Thank you again for your leadership and for the material of earlier today. That definitely doesnt sound like a sort of letter. That definitely sounds like a letter, in which Goodell cites the lack of public funds that  Cam Sample Jersey would be available for stadium construction in Oakland, the long-term nature of the commitment to the As, and uncertainty regarding how the site will be fully developed.On Friday, In her letter, she revealed that Fortre s Investment Group pledged $600 million toward constructing a stadium. But based on Goodells letter, Schaafs plan didnt appear to satisfy the league.  The information sent today does not present a proposal that is clear and specific, actionable in a reasonable timeframe, and free of major contingencies, Goodell wrote.Again, the s stance shouldnt come as a surprise. Goodells letter, is likely just the beginning of the end. the Raiders move to Las Vegas is actually happening: This is going to happen, said one well-connected league source who has been in close contact with many influential owners on this matter. Enough people will hold their noses and pray for the best and vote this through. Oakland -- and by Oakland I mean the government Jessie Bates III Jersey  officials there -- hasnt stepped up nearly enough, and the league is ready to put this to a vote. And while there is some trepidation about this market, it is going to pa s. One high ranking official with one of the leagues more conservative franchises said that despite his owners concerns over the city Trey Hendrickson Jersey s obvious gambling connections and despite the fact that Oakland is the superior television market with superior population demographics, this is imminent. Mark will get the 24 votes he needs, the executive said. If its going to a vote, thats because the votes are there. If my guy is going to vote for it, then this team is moving. Of course, its worth noting how La Canfora ended his story:   It may end up being a very big mistake. Five to 10  Jackson Carman Jersey years from now, there might be a lot of regret about the strength of this market and its foreclosures and weaker population and transient nature. Especially as compared to the boom town that Oakland and the Bay Area continue to be. But Jerry Jones has been championing this project and Bob Kraft is on board, and Davis has a viable enough deal to present, one he is set on presenting. The NFL owners are meeting this week in Phoenix, where theyll vote on relocation on Monday. If 24 owners approve the move, the Raiders will be gone again. It also means the NFL will have approved three relocations -- the and being the two other teams -- since January 2016.
