THE REVOLUTION WILL BE TELEVISED (unless the game is blacked out)



OK. I had a feeling Uncle Al was going to fuck this one up. Actually, it was more than a feeling. It was pretty much a foregone conclusion. Yet somehow, I thought that he would shock me and do the right thing for once.

I was wrong. Really wrong.

Darrius Heyward-Bey. Shit. Al is gay for speed, that much is known. It just amazes me that he would insist on drafting a wide receiver who can't catch a thrown football. That is usually pretty important. Then, to top things off, he goes and spends a second rounder on a guy who he could have drafted in the 6th or 7th round, or even picked up as an UFA. I should not be disappointed, and yet here I am.

But this shall not end here. No, you see today I believe a movement has been born. Too many of my fellow Raider fans have turned a blind eye to Al's buffoonery because "HE'S A VISIONARY" or "HE'S A MAVERICK" or "HE DID A BUNCH OF SHIT A LONG TIME AGO THAT HAS NO BEARING ON ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TODAY". 5 years of residing at the absolute rock bottom of the NFL after shitting the bed in the Super Bowl weren't enough to open all the eyes. Hiring Norv Turner wasn't either. Nor was brining back geriatric Art Shell, or having a public pissing match with Lane Kiffin while he was head coach and then continuing it long after he was fired, or trading Randy Moss for a bag of magic beans, or bringing in Kwame Harris to be his starting left tackle, or thinking Javon Walker was still capable of playing professional football, or any of the millions of retarded things he has done since deciding he was smarter than Jon Gruden. Today, today was the straw that broke the camel's back. Today everyone can see. Today, the revolution begins.

There can be no arguement made now to support Al. No one can cling to decades old Super Bowl victories as a way of deflecting blame from the wrinkled, old turd any longer. The truth is as obvious as the shriveled hook nose on his decrepit face. Now that even the most ardent defender has seen the truth there can be no more confusion as to what must be done next.

Al Davis must cease to be.

Brothers and sisters, for too long we have sat back and waited for nature to do its job. Nature has failed us. It is time for us to take up arms against the hand of opression. We must correct this error ourselves. Who among us will be brave enough to end this debacle? Who will make a stand against the evil troll who has stripped every last ounce of pride this franchise once exuded? Who will end the insanity? WHO WILL THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN?

Do not give Al Davis any more of your money. Do not buy tickets to his games. Do not watch the rare games that get televised. Do not enable this feeble old fart. Refuse to buy his merchandise. Resist him at every turn. Send him the message that his time is done and send him into oblivion where he belongs. This failure is his doing. He must be stopped, no matter the cost. Make him bleed financially. I would rather see the Raiders franchise die than continue to watch the repeated raping taking place before my eyes. The team is being held hostage by an elderly dictator who can neither eat solid food nor control his own bowels. Who will be the patriotic soul brave enough to fire the bullet of freedom? Who will set us free?

Join the movement. Join the resistance.
