There is a Facebook page floating out there called “San Antonio TX, We Want a NFL Team.” The latest post, on November 28, details Red McCombs, a former owner of the beloved San Antonio Spurs-turned-automotive king, being quite confident that the Alamo City would become the new home of the Oakland Raiders.

Unfortunately for him, San Antonio will not be getting the Raiders, or any other NFL franchise, anytime soon.

Why? Because San Antonio is the ultimate “bluff city,” meaning that teams with dreams of getting a fully taxpayer-funded sports palace will use the nation’s seventh-largest city as a pawn in order to twist the hands of the councils in their current city to get what they desire.

“If you don’t give us a new stadium, we’ll move to San Antonio,” is what the owners will say. However, it will be highly unlikely that any owner will move on that threat. The Raiders were never going to move to south Texas. They unfairly used San Antonio as a bargaining chip in their desperate game with both Oakland and Los Angeles to get a stadium built in California.

Neither really looks like it’s going to happen soon, but you can be assured that the Raiders will continue to sign one-year leases at the dilapidated Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum rather than pack up their stuff and move to Texas. Al Davis would roll over in his grave if that was to ever happen.

Los Angeles has always been the preferred city for the Raiders, and it will be that way until they can convince the L.A. city council that they’re “too poor” to build their own stadium. Meanwhile, San Antonio NFL fans will continue to wait for an NFL team to say those magical words, “If you don’t give us a new stadium, we’re moving to San Antonio!”

It’s quite sad that no NFL team truly sees the value of having a franchise in a football-mad city. I always believed that Texas should have three NFL teams. If Jacksonville of all places could land a pro football team, certainly San Antonio can, and the fans in the Alamo City will actually show up to the games.

I still think San Antonio will be a great NFL market, but the way it stands now, the Alamo City will continue to be used as a pawn, and that’s a crying shame indeed.
