Need To Know: New Raiders President Making History
- THE RAIDERS HAVE A NEW, HISTORY MAKING, TEAM PRESIDENT
- Let’s call it what it is. The Raiders organization has been under fire for being a bit of a boys club, the Gruden firing, the multiple DUI’s, workplace violations, you name it. Well… sometimes it takes a woman to clean up the boys’ mess. And the Raiders got a good one. Sandra Douglass Morgan was just named the new team president. She’s the first black woman in NFL history to be a team president. This isn’t her first time busting the glass ceiling. She was the first black person to head up the Nevada Gaming Control Board from 2019 to 2021.

After paying $80 to enter the all-in every-hand online tournament, he dozed off. The tournament started, and he just so happened to get monster hands every time. He woke up, his friends congratulated him, he checked the computer, and boom. He was in.
