A Nation of support

By Felicia D. McDaniel

   A crowd of approximately 12,000 came out in support of The Raider Nation Celebration Sunday at McAfee Coliseum in Oakland. It looked like a regular Sunday afternoon as the players ran out on the field during introduction and bringing the fans to frenzy when newest Raider, receiver Randy Moss was announced.
    The players gave the fans a treat playing a no-contact football game in their uniforms, minus the pads.
    The receivers even had some extra fun of their own switching positions with the defense. “This is a real good turnout,” said Run-Run Jones, longtime assistant, and Waterman for the team, “It’s really good to see the fans out here like this.”
    Nationally syndicated sports radio talk show host J.T. the Brick served as MC of the celebration that included interactive Kids Zones, selected autograph and photo opportunities with the Raiderettes and Raiders Legends.
    A group of lucky children who wrote Raider Nation essays watched the event from the field and received autographs afterwards.
