Well, after literally gifting us Khalil Mack the Raiders now face a nasty suit brought on by the city of Oakland that could cost them up to 500M. It must be tough being a Raider fan these days:

The Raiders could leave Oakland at the end of the upcoming season after the Oakland City Council has authorized a multimillion dollar antitrust lawsuit against the NFL and the Raiders.
The Raiders are planning on moving to Las Vegas.
The outside attorneys have agreed to cover all the up-front costs of the suit, which will likely seek millions of dollars in damages for the team’s exit.
The suit could result in winning damages of up to $500 million.
“It’s going to happen,” Oakland Councilman Gallo said of the suit, calling it “absolutely a good thing.”
The team has been working on a new deal to play at the Coliseum next season and possibly the one after that if their Las Vegas stadium isn’t ready.

Would be hilarious if the two sides don't work out a deal. Though I'm not sure where they would play.

There are two other professional stadiums within 40 miles of downtown Oakland, AT&T Park and Levi's Stadium. Matter of fact.... Levi's is actually closer to Oakland than it is San Fran, lol. They could also play at Cal Memorial in Berkeley, 5 miles away. I am sure any of those other stadiums would love to rake in those millions 8 times a year.
