Oakland has great tradition and history but their stadium is half full 8 games a year. They have become a bottom feeder without any national presence.

Thank you. This isn't just about money but, rather "cornering the market". All of the teams make money. Some teams win. But, as an example, who really cares about BAL? Are they respected? Of course. Are they "America's Team"? No. They're not even considered a "dynasty" although they consistently win and have some hardware.

A hell of a lot of people like Baltimore and many of them old Colt fans!

DAL has more fans than IND, BAL, and NYG combined.

I disagree,the fact they haven't won in the last few years doesn't make the bottom feeders (your words).Many teams have gone years at being bad,some might say even to a point of a joke(as where the Saints and Bucs for awhile) but all these teams start of with the exact same chance of winning each year.

Oakland has not had a winning record or made the playoffs in 10 years. Many of those years were probably 5 wins seasons or less, plus they change coaches every other year. Plus they've had numerous blackouts over the years. What in the world does that make them in your book? To me they're a bottom teir organization and the results are in the W/L record, attendance and constant turnover.
