Over the weekend, word broke that the NFL is being approached to bring a new team to Oakland, which is now without a franchise with the Raiders having moved to Las Vegas.
Making the proposal even more significant is that the ownership group is made up of African Americans, and, therefore this team would be the first in the NFL owned by a group of Black people.
SF Gate has details on the proposal here. The Oakland-based group, African-American Sports & Entertainment Committee, is expected to send the proposal to the NFL office in New York on Tuesday.
