For Pete's Sake

Washington player mocked Raiders fans while leaving field after Sunday’s game in Vegas

Allegiant Stadium hasn’t provided a home-field advantage for the Raiders after their move from Oakland to Las Vegas.

The Raiders didn’t play in front of fans in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, and they finished with a 2-6 record at home.

This season, the Raiders are 3-4 at Allegiant Stadium, including Sunday’s 17-15 loss to the Washington Football Team.

While leaving the field, Washington offensive lineman Charles Leno Jr., waved to Raiders fans — and probably WFT supporters, too. Those Vegas fans, however,would not have been cheering him.

At one point, Leno mocked the Raiders fans by rubbing his eyes, as he mimicked a crying motion.

Twitter user Mitchell Tischler shared this video of Leno poking fun at the Las Vegas fans.
