The Las Vegas Raiders are once again a bad team, and the fans are once again calling for Mark Davis, son of famous owner Al Davis, to sell the team. This is a yearly thing, but the fans seem to have a good reason to do this every year.
Since Davis, the City of Oakland, and the City of Las Vegas all agreed to move the team to the desert, Mark Davis has undoubtedly brought in more money, according to Forbes. However, he has not brought in more wins.
In 2011, Mark inherited the team when Al passed away. In 2020, the Raiders played their first game in Las Vegas. Since Davis became the owner of the silver and black, things haven't been right, and there are facts to back it all up.
According to Josh Dubow of the Associated Press, "The Raiders have lost 116 games since Mark Davis took over the team. Only the Jets, Browns, and Jaguars have lost more in that span."
What’s Mark’s mistake? He hired the guy Ron Wolf told him to as GM. Results were mixed. He brought back Chucky like the fans BEGGED him to. Results were mixed. He hired Josh who had the best resume of any available candidate, he stinks. Who should he have hired, Bear Bryant?

That is, well, terrible, to say the least. And, to be in the same conversation as those other teams is terrible, considering the franchise's history.
This fact doesn't help his situation anymore and only shows that he has to do something soon.
