Question to : BAY AREA FOOTBALL-BASEBALL FANS
- Thread starter Unknownn
- Start date
I used to go to alot Giants games at candlestick when I was little so I naturally became a fan. Never was into football enough to have a team at that time, I went to one Niners game and thought it was boring. When the Raiders moved back to Oakland I started going to games with my dad so eventually I started getting into the Raiders and football more. The more people started to hate on them, the more I began to love them. I got love for the A's too but Giants are still my squad and I hate the Niners.
I was born in LA where you either liked the Raiders or the Lambs. I moved, the teams moved, but I ended up where the Raiders came a bit later, so it makes sense to stick with the Raiders. I don't like or follow baseball, but I got like 50 A's hats. I will root for Oakland before I root for any other baseball team.....but I'm not gonna watch games.
BORN AND RAISED IN SAN JO
RAIDERS AND GIANTS FAN
EDIT: I GUESS I HAVE TO EXPLAIN
MY DAD WAS A HARDCORE NINERS FAN GROWING UP. UP TIL AGE 6 I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO WEAR THAT GEAR. MY UNCLE JOHN WAS DIE HARD RAIDERS FAN. I ALWAYS LOOKED UP TO MY UNCLE JOHN HE IS ACTUALLY MY GREAT UNCLE. BUT ANYWAYS MY DAD TOOK ME TO MY FIRST GAME AND IT WAS IN OAKLAND IN 1987 RAIDERS PLAYED A PRESEASON GAME VS OILERS. I SAT IN THE ENDZONE. B4 WE LEFT THE PARKING LOT I TOLD MY DAD ."IMMA RAIDERS FAN". I NEVER LOOKED BACK.
NOW MY DAD WOULD ALWAYS TAKE ME TO A'S GAMES AS A KID SINCE THEY WERE CHEAPER TO GO TO AND HE GOT FREE TIX EVEY NOW AND THEN . I WAS A BIG CANSECO MCGWIRE FAN. BUT BONDS WAS MY FAVORITE SINCE HIS PITTSBURGH DAYS. I WAS AN A'S FAN FOR ABOUT 1-2 YEARS . THEN WHEN BONDS CAME TO THE SCO IT WAS A RAP.
GIANTS AND RAIDERS FO LIFE..

I've noticed many of the older folks (40s+) like both Giants / Raiders. Raiders due to their success in the 70s and Giants prolly cuz the A's weren't in Oakland yet.
But for me Ima 9ers/Giants fan cuz I lived in San Rafael when I was younger. When I was 6 or 8 or so I liked the A's cuz of their superstar team but after the 89' championship I wasn't really into baseball again until my teenage years and the Giants got my attention.

Yeah we fucked up on that one..... That was ur guys' 1st win of the season too @ our home lol! I was pretty upset at the team that day on how they played. When we fumbled at the 4 yard line just before halftime when u guys scored that defensive td, that killed our momentum. Our defense at the end of the game was pretty bad as well where all we had to do was stop that final drive to win the game, only to give up that long pass play to Avery on a 3rd and long, to set u guys up with the winning FG!
