Today was dubbed by most as a historic day as the NFL approved the Raiders move from Oakland to Las Vegas. The Raiders are set to begin playing in Las Vegas in 2020. The Vegas Golden Knights, Vegas’ major first professional sports franchise, put out a statement shortly after the news went public.

“On behalf of the entire Vegas Golden Knights family, I would like to welcome and congratulate Mark Davis and the Oakland Raiders on their relocation to the great city of Las Vegas. It truly is an exciting time to be from Las Vegas. There is only a select group of cities in North America that are home to both an NHL and an NFL franchise and Vegas is now one of them. This alone should be a great source of pride for our community and our fans. Las Vegas has always been one of the most popular destination cities in the world and it is now emerging as a premier location for major league professional sports. -The Creator

That’s the politically correct version. Let’s just put it this way, The Creator was a bit more honest and forthcoming on a must-hear interview with The Vegas Hockey Hotline on KSHP 1400 (embedded below).

“If I had complete control, I would have rather the Raiders would not have been here. But I didn’t, so welcome. Bring em on.” -Foley — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) March 27, 2017

And that was just the beginning.

“I felt like there are a lot better ways to spend $750 mil than bringing the Raiders to Las Vegas.” — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) March 27, 2017

“Thought we could spend it on police and schools, and make them the best in the country. Instead I guess we’re getting a football stadium” — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) March 27, 2017

It may sound salty, but think of it this way. Imagine if you spent a large sum of money to open a McDonald’s in a city that’s never has high quality popular fast food before. You do it with 100% private money. Then, nine months later, the city decides to help fund a Wendy’s directly across the street from your McDonald’s. You wouldn’t be thrilled.

Now, your McDonald’s will probably still do very well. But there’s no debating that being the only store in town would have been better. That’s what happened here, and it’s great to see The Creator isn’t afraid to face it head on rather than going with the politically correct answer.

The fact of the matter is though, the Raiders are coming and there’s nothing the Golden Knights can do about it. So, they need to up their game a bit, something The Creator appears committed to doing.

“I have never said I’m going to be patient about winning. I’ve always said my goal is playoffs in 3 and Stanley Cup in 6.” -Foley — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) March 27, 2017

Only time will tell what effect the Raiders will have on the Golden Knights, but one this is for sure, it can all be solved incredibly simply…

Just Win Baby!
