Raiders fans, twice abandoned, deserve much better

Congratulations, Raiders fans: It’s official now.
You are the most screwed-over fans in American sports.
Oh, sure, others have vied for the title in the past. Baltimore had a pity party for a time. Cleveland felt abandoned. Same with Houston. Old-time New Yorkers still like to talk about when two of their baseball teams left. Seattle still would like an NBA team, thank you very much.
But nobody has it as bad as Oakland Raiders fans. Screwed over by not one, but two generations of the same family.
Though that’s relatively old news — Mark Davis announced he was going to Las Vegas in March 2017 — this week has served only to emphasize the pathetic situation faced by some of the greatest fans in sports history.
