As many NFL fans suspected and as the Raider Nation dreaded, the NFL owners voted 31-1 in favor of the Oakland Raiders relocating to Las Vegas, Nevada. Monday, March 27, will be a day many Raiders fans call heartbreaking and a betrayal. Founded in 1960, the Raiders began in Oakland, and remained there until they relocated to Los Angeles 1981. The Raiders later moved back to the Bay Area in 1995 and have been in Oakland ever since.
