Must be sad to have to root for another team just because you hate the 49ers.

I honestly dont get the hatred between the two teams...it is sad to see what they have become...I look at the Raiders as our little brother team, and I actually find myself rooting for them often..they are not our division rival or even in the same conference for that matter i.e Cowgirls, Fudgepackers, etc... Hope one day they will be relevant again, but it's not looking too bright for their future.

main reason i hate them is their fans

i felt this way until i moved to the bay area and had to deal with the fans.....................

After only one season in charge of the Raiders and after going a respectable 8-8, the organization fired coach Hue Jackson after the 2011 season, and just like that, Jackson disappeared into the anonymous world of former coaches searching for assistant gigs (Jackson found a home, once again, in Cincinnati).

But while recently talking with Sports Illustrated's Jim Trotter, Jackson wondered what might have been if he had taken a job offered to him by late Raiders owners Al Davis in 2009.

That job: Raiders general manager.

Oakland already had hired Jackson as the team's offensive coordinator under then-head coach Tom Cable, but Davis apparently respected Jackson enough to offer him the GM job. Jackson told Trotter that the reason he didn't take the job was because he loved coaching too much.

"Jackson says he turned it down because his passion is coaching and working with players," Trotter writes. "He says he and Davis never discussed him taking the head coach position -- contrary to speculation that he accepted the coordinator position with an eye on the top job."

Eventually, of course, Davis hired Jackson for the head coaching job, but after he died and his son, Mark Davis, took over ownership, the Raiders hired GM Reggie McKenzie -- who then wanted to hire his own coach and released Jackson.

If Jackson had taken the GM job, Mark Davis, of course, still could have fired him and brought in his own general manager. But as we so often see, the coach is fired before the owner lets go of his GM. That means there's a pretty decent chance Jackson would still be the Raiders GM if he had accepted Al Davis' offer in the first place.

None of us are playing. Let the teams win with class.

You have no idea about the 49ers and raiders rivalry by proximity. Being in the Bay Area, fans of both teams are obviously in each other's presence. You get large amounts of fans of any two teams in any region and I guarantee you their fans will hate each other.
