It's Literally Raining Ass At The Oakland Coliseum

Plus, I think we can all agree that Oracle Arena isn't being flooded whatsoever. (Please don't go, precious Warriors.)

Now I'm gonna show my cards up front here. I'm from Oakland, and I'm all about our teams sticking around the greatest city on earth—even if the Raiders were in Los Angeles during my youth. But this isn't a great look for the Oakland Coliseum and the longevity of teams there.

You see, dealing with a large storm isn't that bad of a deal, but given the Coliseum's history of having sewage backup issues—particularly when it rains—the flooding right before the Raiders vs. Chiefs game means that it just might be literally raining ass in Oakland right now.

No, it doesn't really rain in Las Vegas, but then again Oakland isn't a 100+ degree strip club pamphlet depository that will (likely) soon be charged $750 million to host a football team.

Look at this mess in the bowels of the Coliseum. Players have to walk through this to go to and from the field. Smh. pic.twitter.com/z87Q1ObsLp

Suck it up, players and media. I had to play fooball uphill both ways—in consistently 68 degree weather—when I was growing up there.

See, it's not all that bad, right? Plus, I think we can all agree that the nearby Oracle Arena isn't being flooded whatsoever. (Please don't go, my precious Oakland Warriors.)
