So the NFL is giving Oakland money to build a stadium, but would not take the money STL tried to give them to build a stadium for their second richest owner? And there's already a stadium in Santa Clara?
NFL owners do not want a more powerful Davis-owned Raiders, but they also are more reluctant to allow the historically significant AFC franchise move to San Antonio or St. Louis.
This would be my guess. History might not matter, but I'm not really sure.
