Raiders Broadcaster's Joke About Sen. Warren Triggers Twitter Crossfire
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- Veteran sportscaster Brent Musburger tweeted a photo from President Trump's recent rally in Montana which showed several attendees wearing American Indian headdress, which Musberger captioned: "Elizabeth Warren's 'relatives' backing Trump in Montana!"
Massachusetts Sen. Warren's claim of Native American ancestry has long been a target of the president's scorn. Trump frequently refers to the senator as "Pocahontas," at rallies.
Predictably, many of Musburger's followers weighed in, some saying the 79-year-old broadcaster was out-of-touch and others congratulating him for landing a zinger.

Yuck. Turns out there IS something worse about the Raiders than their defense.

The Raiders have let go of, or traded, all of the talented folks in the organization. So it seems fitting you are still employed by them.
