Bobby Mitchell (June 6, 1935 - April 5, 2020) was a football player in the NFL. In 1962, after three seasons with the Cleveland Browns, he became the first African American to play for the Washington Redskins, the last team in the league to integrate its roster.

He was born in Hot Springs, Arkansas, one of eight children of the Reverend Albert and Avis Mitchell. He enrolled at the University of Illinois on a football scholarship.

In 1958 he was drafted by the Cleveland Browns to play halfback. He became a star with the team, receiving the first of his four career Pro Bowl selections in 1960. In four seasons with the Browns, he scored 38 touchdowns and accumulated 5,917 total yards in rushing, pass receiving, and punt and kickoff returns.

In 1962 he was traded to the Washington Redskins. The federal government was pressuring the team owner to integrate, threatening to block the team’s use of the publicly owned stadium. He gave in to the government’s demands and signed him and two other Black players.

In his first game, he scored three touchdowns, two on pass plays, and another on a 92-yard kickoff return. In his first season, he led the league in catches and receiving yards, and he finished third in touchdowns. He played another six seasons in Washington before retiring. He was inducted into the Football Hall of Fame in 1983.

Some restaurants refused them service. He heard racial taunts from fans. He said some friendly sportswriters admitted they were instructed not to write feature stories about him or vote for him for awards. Things began to improve as more Black players were added to the team throughout the 1960s.

He moved to the front office and served as an executive. He served as a talent scout and assistant general manager. He was passed over multiple times in favor of white candidates, and he retired from the organization. The Washington team announced his #49 would be retired.

He and his wife, Gwen, raised two children. He was involved with many civic organizations, including the United Negro College Fund, NAACP, and Boys Club of Washington. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

The Oakland Raiders: A Legacy of Grit, Glory, and Rebellion

Few NFL franchises have a history as colorful, rebellious, and impactful as the Oakland Raiders. With their signature black and silver colors, a fanbase that’s as fierce as the team itself, and a culture built on toughness and swagger, the Raiders have left an indelible mark on the game of football. From the glory days in the 1970s to their recent move to Las Vegas, the Raiders represent a blend of renegade spirit and championship pedigree.

The Birth of the Raider Nation

The Raiders were founded in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League (AFL). They struggled in their early years, enduring losing seasons and instability, until a brash and ambitious assistant coach named Al Davis took over as head coach and general manager in 1963. Davis’ arrival marked a turning point for the Raiders.

Under Davis’ leadership, the team adopted the motto “Just Win, Baby!,” a phrase that became synonymous with the Raiders’ approach to football. Davis emphasized speed, aggression, and a vertical passing game that made the Raiders one of the most exciting teams in the AFL. His no-nonsense attitude and commitment to winning, regardless of the cost, transformed the Raiders from perennial losers to contenders.

In 1966, Davis was named AFL Commissioner, but after the AFL-NFL merger, he returned to the Raiders as managing general partner, where he continued to build the team into a dynasty. Davis’ fingerprints were all over the Raiders’ identity, and he remained at the helm of the franchise until his death in 2011.

The Glory Years: Dominating the 1970s and 1980s

The Raiders’ true rise to power came in the 1970s under head coach John Madden, who took over the team in 1969. Madden, who would later become a broadcasting legend, was known for his energetic style and his ability to connect with players. He coached the Raiders for 10 seasons and never had a losing season, leading the team to seven division titles.

The pinnacle of Madden’s coaching career came in 1976, when the Raiders won their first Super Bowl. Led by Hall of Famers like quarterback Ken Stabler, wide receiver Fred Biletnikoff, and cornerback Willie Brown, the Raiders defeated the Minnesota Vikings 32–14 in Super Bowl XI. This victory cemented the Raiders’ status as one of the NFL’s elite franchises.

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the Raiders were known for their hard-nosed style of play. They developed a reputation as the league’s “bad boys,” a team that embraced being the villains. Players like Jack Tatum, Gene Upshaw, and Art Shell epitomized the Raiders’ fierce and often controversial approach to the game. Their willingness to push the boundaries earned them fans who appreciated their rebellious nature and opponents who feared them.

The Raiders added two more Super Bowl titles in 1980 and 1983, becoming the first wild-card team to win the championship with their victory in Super Bowl XV. Under head coach Tom Flores, the team won Super Bowl XVIII, crushing the Washington Redskins 38–9. Flores, who was the first Latino head coach to win a Super Bowl, helped solidify the Raiders’ place as a dynasty.

The Los Angeles Era: A New Home, Same Raiders

In 1982, Al Davis, never one to shy away from controversy, made the bold decision to relocate the team to Los Angeles after a legal battle with the NFL. The Raiders spent 13 seasons in LA, where they continued to build on their mystique as a rebellious, renegade franchise. During this period, they won their third and most recent Super Bowl in 1983.

In Los Angeles, the Raiders’ black-and-silver aesthetic and their fierce attitude meshed perfectly with the city’s urban culture, particularly in hip-hop communities. The Raiders’ gear became iconic, worn by musicians like N.W.A. and others, further embedding the team in popular culture. They became more than just a football team — they were a symbol of defiance and rebellion.

Despite the team’s success in LA, Davis moved the Raiders back to Oakland in 1995, bringing the franchise home to where it had all begun. The return to Oakland was a momentous occasion for the team’s loyal fanbase, who welcomed them back with open arms.

The Raider Nation: Football’s Most Passionate Fanbase

One of the most enduring legacies of the Oakland Raiders is their fanbase, affectionately known as the Raider Nation. These fans are not your ordinary football followers; they’re as tough, passionate, and committed as the team they support.

The Black Hole, the section of the stadium where the most die-hard fans gather, became famous for its rowdy atmosphere and colorful characters. Fans dressed as pirates, skeletons, and warriors, creating an intimidating environment for opposing teams. The Raider Nation’s loyalty never wavered, even through years of struggles and relocations.

The Raiders’ mystique and outlaw image appealed to fans who saw themselves as outsiders or rebels, and the team’s commitment to diversity — highlighted by Al Davis’ hiring of the first African American head coach (Art Shell), the first Latino head coach (Tom Flores), and the first female CEO (Amy Trask) — further endeared them to their fanbase.

The Las Vegas Move: A New Era Begins

In 2020, after years of searching for a new stadium solution in Oakland, the Raiders made another bold move, relocating to Las Vegas. The move to the desert marked the beginning of a new chapter for the franchise, but the essence of the Raiders remained unchanged.

The team now plays in the state-of-the-art Allegiant Stadium, also known as the “Death Star,” a fitting home for a team known for its intimidating presence. The move to Las Vegas was a financial boon for the franchise, and it has brought a new wave of excitement to Raider Nation.

Though the city of Oakland felt the loss of their beloved team, the Raiders continue to carry the spirit of the franchise into their new home. Las Vegas has embraced the team, and Raider Nation has shown that no matter where the team plays, their loyalty remains unwavering.

A Legacy That Lives On

The Raiders are not just a football team — they are a cultural phenomenon. With their pirate logo, black-and-silver colors, and their reputation as the NFL’s renegades, they have built a legacy that transcends wins and losses. The Raiders are about attitude, rebellion, and a refusal to conform.

While the franchise hasn’t seen as much on-field success in recent years, the foundation laid by Al Davis and the glory days of the 1970s and 1980s continue to define the Raiders’ identity. The arrival of head coach Jon Gruden in 2018, paired with young stars like Derek Carr and Maxx Crosby, has rekindled hope that the Raiders can return to their winning ways and add more championships to their storied history.

In the NFL, few teams are as feared, hated, or loved as the Raiders. They have always played the game on their own terms, and that rebellious spirit continues to make them one of the most intriguing franchises in professional sports. From Oakland to Los Angeles, back to Oakland, and now in Las Vegas, the Raiders’ journey is one of grit, glory, and a never-ending commitment to the mantra: Just Win, Baby!
