Damian Lillard is an Oakland native and fan of his hometown sports teams, so it’s no surprise that he was not happy when news broke that the Raiders were approved by the NFL to move to Las Vegas.
Lillard, the star point guard for the Portland Trail Blazers, sent the following tweet mocking Raiders owner Mark Davis:
Mark Davis got the Lloyd Christmas haircut… Whatever bro

It’s not as if Lillard’s the first person to make a joke about Davis’ hair. The Raiders owner’s ‘do hasn’t change much over the years, as this shows.
Davis is bound to be a hated figure after moving his team, and he knows that.
Raiders owner Mark Davis hopes Oakland fans don't hate on coaches/players: "If they have anybody to talk to about it, it should be me."

Davis is at least doing right by those fans in Oakland by giving them the chance to get a refund for their season tickets if they want one in light of the news. The bigger question is whether those fans like Lillard will stand by the team after the move to Vegas or drop them.
