#5 Our love/hate relationship with the Las Vegas Raiders
This is a perfect representation of the relationship between the Las Vegas Raiders and their fans. Sure, fans get angry about the bad decisions the organization makes. They might even feel upset that Jon Gruden is still the coach, but that doesn't mean you aren't part of Raider Nation. It just means you want better for the team.
I know it sounds like a toxic relationship, but this fandom isn't a bandwagon we can jump off of at our leisure; for most, it's a lifelong commitment to seeing the team finally return to the Super Bowl. It will happen one year.

#4 Las Vegas Raiders fans are dead inside
They say every time the Las Vegas Raiders lose a game, fans of the organization die a little inside. Maybe that has to do with how much the Raiders have been losing lately, or just watching them make bad decisions after bad decisions, but it has a sort of numbing effect. Almost like things are never going to get better.

#3 The Las Vegas Raiders meme that isn't one, but really is
Is this a meme?
While some might want to argue that this is simply a statement put out by Las Vegas Raiders General Manager Mike Mayock, the pictures chosen with the words seem to point to a humourous element. For example, you can almost see that dead look in Derek Carr's eyes as he figures out how exactly to achieve this milestone. You might also be able to see Jon Gruden slowly mumbling to himself about getting his crap together while Mayock looks like he wants to look away from the crap show that is about to commence.
#2 How overrated in Jon Gruden?
Rain is wet, the sky is blue, and like it or not, Jon Gruden might just go down as one of the most overrated coaches in NFL history. How he still has his job after leading the Raiders to three straight losing seasons is anyone's guess. In fact, Gruden has made a plethora of bad decisions throughout his time as head coach.
If you think about it, he hasn't moved the needle forward in any meaningful way, despite having all the pieces to do so. Of course, some will claim the Raiders 6-2 start last season was a huge accomplishment, but think about how the team managed the last six games of the season. Do you see where Gruden could be the problem now?

#1 That one friend who talked crap about your favorite sports team.
We all have a Raider-hater in our lives, and while we would do anything for our friends, especially if they are in need, there comes a time when they need to learn how to shut up about the Raiders. It hurts to be told the greatest franchise in football sucks!!!! Plus, they're wrong. The Raiders are clearly awesome!
