this upcoming season, after consultation with Governor Sisolak.
Al Davis was a pioneer in civil rights in the NFL, hired the first ever Black head coach (HoF player Art Shell), and the first Hispanic head coach (Tom Flores, who just got his HoF jacket! WOOT!), and Amy Trask achieved a higher position with the Raiders than any female had before her in NFL history.
His son Mark is continuing RAIDER NATION tradition of doing the right thing!
I really wish they were still in Oaktown, but ... I understand, as painful as it is.

(33,643 posts)Hey, if Carl Nassib makes the 53 and takes the field this year, it's another Raiders milestone in the social arena.
First openly gay NFL player in a regular season game ... a Raider.
I'll be smiling if that happens ... not sure he makes the team though at this juncture, but I'm pulling for him.
