Roger Goodell pumps the brakes on Raiders to Vegas talk, reiterates support for Oakland
The Oakland Raiders' potential move to Las Vegas has been a hot topic this week, with a report that owner Mark Davis is willing to move the team if he can get a stadium built near the strip.
However, there remains one big obstacle to any plans for relocation: league approval.
The NFL blocked the Raiders from moving back to LA last year and has said it would like them to remain in Oakland, while the team continues to explore other markets.
Roger Goodell joined Colin Cowherd on "The Herd" on Wednesday and reiterated his support for keeping the Raiders in Oakland, while addressing the question of whether the NFL is ready to have a team in Vegas.
"We don't have a proposal," Goodell said. "Ultimately that is a decision of the ownership. There are owners who will feel very strongly about continuing to support our position on gambling, there will be owners that will have the view of whether that's the best market for us to be in, whether there's truly the fan support there, they'll look at obviously the stadium alternatives, and I think that's what you do in any relocation."
Watch Colin's whole interview with Goodell in the video above. The Vegas talk begins at about the 9:10 mark.
Colin continued the conversation about the NFL's position on gambling, and why it would be hypocritical to keep a team out of Vegas on those grounds alone. Check out his commentary in the video below.
