That history and legacy you're alluding to was achieved under a great man and trailblazer/pioneer in the sport with Al Davis, his son doesn't hold a candle to that man...That’s a bit cynical. Grambling State marching band has been performing around the country at NFL events for decades. Plus given the Raiders actual history as an organization. Doesn’t really make sense.
The timing of this after the Gruden debacle makes it feel just as disingenuous as the WFT conveniently choosing to honor Sean Taylor finally after all these years the minute they were getting bad press again so call it cynical sure but the optics of it are the exact same from the outside looking in
