Carr: 'True' Raiders fans won't abandon team over move to Vegas

The face of the franchise is hoping Raider Nation will stay together despite the eventual move from Oakland to Las Vegas.

Derek Carr said Monday he expects Raiders fans to stick with the team in Vegas, while adding that those who don't weren't "true" supporters to begin with.

"We're not going to split up like you've seen other cities do," Carr said, according to ESPN's Paul Gutierrez.

"We're not going to do things like that. For the ones that do, I don't really believe that they're true Raider fans. I feel their hurt. I'm with you. I hurt, too. But at the same time, we're all in this together and we're just going to do it together."

The star quarterback's comments might not sit well with fans who feel betrayed over the relocation, which was approved 31-1 by NFL team owners on March 27.

Carr seemed to realize this, as he tweeted out a clarification on his remarks:

Meanwhile, the Raiders will remain in Oakland for at least another two seasons as their $1.9-billion, 65,000-seat stadium in Sin City is built. Carr believes only a small minority of fans will have an issue with the team staying while it awaits the move.

"Out of like 1,000 people, you're going to get one or two that have something to say and that's with everything," Carr said.

"Hopefully y'all don't focus on that kind of stuff because there's the 99 percent that are loyal, faithful fans that are going to ride with us wherever we're at."
