The Raiders don’t make use of such services for one simple reason, they don’t trust the press, for good reason. Reference the hacks at espnis.

Travis, I think the Raiders know what the internet is and how it works. They just don’t care what anybody thinks or says.
If you notice, they never confirm or deny rumors either.
Also, the Raiders as a brand are one of the most recognizable sports teams in the world. Not the most loved necessarily, butthey certainly don’t need to worry about getting their logo out there.
People who know nothing about the team and just like the logo are everywhere.

Mike,
The Raiders aren’t the only club in sports to not do this. I’ve noticed this a lot in Major League Baseball, it’s the old guard against the new guard. Guys who don’t really know how the internet works are afraid to embrace it.
I guess they don’t feel that what happens on the internet affects anything about how the Raiders are reported in the National Press. I feel like it does.
It’s interesting that Lane Kiffin said this week that his main goal in this offseason was to get the Tennessee logo in the national spotlight as much as possible, no wonder it didn’t work out in Raidernation.
