So I grew up in the bay area and I watched ALL three Raider Suoerbowl victoies in real time (live) on a 13 inch Sony TV
I also watched Montana and Young kick ass in SF for decades…and it was great football.
I love the Raiders…and all of our Raider Nation 4 ever

Here’s my point.
The vast majority of fans, of eifher team, that I meet, will ruthlessly talk shit about the other team
//
WHY ?
AFC/NFC
They have ONLY faced each other 15 times and have Never played in a Superbowl matchup
anyways … Donkeys suck D****y Dk
There are a few elements to this rivalry most have been mentioned already but the big one I have not seen here yet. It really began with Al Davis, he was the AFL commissioner before the merger, so the NFL team just across the bay was there to be disliked as the NFL would shit on the new league any chance they got. Even before the merger we would play them in preseason activities and the he Raiders as part of the AFL as the upstart league, played those games all out even though they didn’t mean anything just because they had something to prove.
