One of the most notable characteristics of Oakland Raiders fans, a.k.a. Raider Nation, is their knowledge of one of the most storied franchises in all of professional sports.  The Raider Nation has their share of fair-weathered fans, but the number of ‘hard-core’ is one of the most solid and diverse groups in the world of sports.

The Raider Nation isn’t just strong in the epicenter of the Black Hole, it’s strong on every continent around the world.  When the term ’silver and black’ is uttered on the other side of the world, people know and understand that the reference is to the Oakland Raiders.

This site is for all those hard-core and the not so hard-core citizens of the Raider Nation.  Here, you’ll be able to find the latest stories about the Oakland Raiders and rather than just comment on them, you can take a trip to our forums where you can post your thoughts and make your arguments on your points of interest.

Freedom of speech is the fundamental building block that this site is operated on.  We only ask that you refrain from threats of bodily harm and racial epithets (in this house, we are all silver and black).

If you like what you see, let us know.  If you don’t like it, let us know.  Help us to make this a must-visit for you on a daily basis.  If it becomes that for you, make sure to tell all your Raider Nation buddies too.  Just visit our forums to let us know what’s on your mind.
