Kurtenbach: Raiders owner Mark Davis tried to pull the same trick twice — it failed

The Raiders’ dreams of a San Francisco sojourn appear dead.

The only question now is if team owner Mark Davis swallows his pride and has his team play the 2019 season at Levi’s Stadium — home of the 49ers — or the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, or if he abruptly pulls his team out of the region altogether.

Amid public opposition from prominent San Francisco politicians — including Mayor London Breed — and behind-the-scenes opposition from the Golden State Warriors — who will move to San Francisco’s Mission Bay neighborhood in fall 2019 — the NFL is not expected to greenlight a move for the Raiders to play a final Bay Area season at Oracle Park, home of the Giants.
