It’s amusing to read all the obnoxious, juvenile,clear hater attitude that criticizes Mark Davis and Raider Fans.Just because their probably one of the most deticated fan base in sports along with the A’s and Warriors to try to keep their beloved team from moving doesn’t mean that these people are any different than…
to be fair, Mark Davis isnt the richest of men. He literally cannot build it by himself.
Mark Davis is not anywhere near being uber-rich. His only asset is the team itself. Which, unless he sells his ownership stake, he can’t cash in on. Hmmm would defeat the purpose,no? Maybe go shit on the Spanos for wanting the taxpayers to pay for their stadium when they actually have money. At least Kroenke is a…
Tom Ley, before you get on your high horse and accuse mark davis of being a swindler, why not do your job as a “journalist” (i realize youre on deadspin but i guess youre still a journalist), and get some insights on the guy before you trash him.
So you’re just a miserable dick. Got it.
Except they haven’t and won’t. But nice little tirade Niner fan. Stab anyone lately?
“so that he can build a new stadium in Oakland without having to spend too much of his own money”
Davis is one of the few owners who isn’t a billionaire...still richer than most of us can ever hope to be, but not rich enough to fund an entire stadium project on his own. Either way the city of Oakland shouldn’t pay for it. The NFL should.
Meanwhile at the public forum in San Diego, fans got to shake the catheter in Alex Spanos
I always thought it was widely understood that Mark Davis is not a billionaire and is actually cash-poor. Since he has no ventures outside of football, his net worth is tied directly to the Raiders.
How much he cares is determined by his ability to convince? How does that work?
You don’t like the common NFL practice of using public money to finance stadiums so you use Mark Davis, the only owner who showed up and showed he cared at all about the city he’s in as your punching bag? Seems like a cheap way to make your point to me.
I don’t want to defend him too much, but Mark Davis is way out of his league wealth wise compared to the other owners. His major asset is the Raiders and it is where he gets most of his wealth.
I’m a Raider fan and was sort of following on Twitter. According to a reporter one of the people in attendance told Mark Davis to “go up to Sacramento and see how Kevin Johnson was able to do it [for the Kings].”
Are the Raiders really a “mega-rich team”? Not that I think a single cent of public money should go to pro sports facilities.

To be fair, he’s also doing something nice for the Clippers.
That’s my goal! MY WHITE WHALE
