ALAMEDA, Calif. -- What had been threatened since the first week of the season became reality Tuesday as the City of Oakland announced it has fiied a federal lawsuit against the Raiders and the NFL.
The suit, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, puts into question where the Raiders will play in 2019, as the Raiders do not have a lease for a home next year and team owner Mark Davis has said he will not play in Oakland if a lawsuit were ever filed -- though Davis has recently softened that stance.
