Oakland is challenging the Department of Justice over a case based on the Raiders' decision to move out of the California city.
Oakland is challenging the Department of Justice over a case based on the Raiders' decision to move out of the California city.
"The Raiders' illegal move lines the pockets of NFL owners and sticks Oakland, its residents, taxpayers and dedicated fans with the bill," city attorney Barbara Parker said in a statement when the suit was filed. Now, Oakland is challenging that with an opposition memo, after the NFL called for the case to be dismissed.
A similar lawsuit was filed against the Los Angeles Rams, by the team's old city, St. Louis, but doesn't allege an antitrust violation. That suit alleges a breach of contract, fraud, illegal enrichment and interference in business by the Rams, the NFL and its teams. The case could reach trial, if the sides do not agree to settle.
