In this story:

The Las Vegas Raiders, over the last two decades, have not had much success. They have shown their full potential only in a couple of seasons in that time, and even then, they weren't able to make a deep playoff run. The Raiders have not won the Super Bowl since 1984.

Despite all that, the fans have remained loyal and the best fans that football has to offer.

Raider Nation is not for the weak. Being a Raiders fan comes with lots of pride, and even in disappointing moments, these fans will never stop cheering for their beloved Raiders. No matter what the outcome of the game or season is, you will always hear Raider Nation screaming "Raiders, Raiders, Raiders!"

Our Hondo S. Carpenter Sr. talked about the pride of Raider Nation on a recent episode of the "Las Vegas Raiders Insider Podcast."

"The Raiders are such a humongous fan base and you all should he proud of this," he said. "And they are so consumed by their team. I am going to give y'all some credit now. Being a Raider is not like being a fan, it is a lifestyle. Y'all get it. I was doing a national interview last night, and I said to the person that was interviewing me, the Raiders are as passionate as any college fan base. Y'all are phenomenal. And that's just a fact. And so, there's so many, and it is consuming from around the world."

Raider Nation is one of the only fan bases that is truly part of the team. They will let the organization, players, and coaches know about what they think good or bad, in good moments and in hard moments.

Now that Antonio Pierce is head coach, he knows how important the Raiders fan base is to the team and the whole organization. Pierce knows well because he grew up a Raiders fan. That is why it is important for him to bring back the Raiders culture and the Raider way for the fans.

There is a certain way the Raiders and their fans know what they are about, and they want to feel that again.
