The Las Vegas Raiders team is known for having the most loyal fan base ever in the history of the NFL. One of the most popular of the fans is Darth Vader. Yes, the Dark Lord of the Sith travels across galaxies to watch the Raiders on a Sunday afternoon. His dedication as a true fan of the team has given the new stadium in Las Vegas the nickname "The Death Star" or "The Mothership.”

Anyway, the Raiders have played in three different cities, the other two being Los Angeles and Oakland, since their inception and has never lost the size of its fanbase. Yes, the team has won three Super Bowls, but the last one was about 39 years ago! See, when teams go through a long hiatus of not winning a trophy, they tend to lose fans. The Raiders, on the other hand, are known for keeping theirs even when they are not doing well.

See, Darth Vader has also been a loyal fan with the rest of the Raider Nation because he was there for the team every year when the Raiders were terrible during their worst decade, 2003 to 2013.

In a sense, the Raiders are still trying to be a winning team, but, for the last eight years or so, they have been on a roller coaster ride. One thing that can be very positive for the Raiders though is the fact that their fanbase will be there no matter what! That includes the most popular villain of all, Darth Vader!

Yes, Darth Vader died in The Return of the Jedi in the early 80s, but it is rumored that he was able to clone himself just to travel galaxies and keep rooting for the Las Vegas Raiders. See, it is said that his love for the Silver and Black is more than his love for the Dark Side. So, he strictly exists to be a fan of the biggest NFL nation there is, the Raider Nation.

Also, the fact that the Raiders moved to Las Vegas favors him in the utmost way possible. Vegas is a huge dessert and is very much like his childhood planet Tatooine. So, in a way, he is back home! Just like Tatooine, Las Vegas has it all: gambling, degenerates, drugs, thugs, scums, whores, organized crime, etc. It is perfectly dark and dangerous just like he likes it while being extremely hot.

A funny moment for Darth Vader with the Raiders was when Al Davis was still alive and they met. Unfortunately for the Dark Lord, Davis did not have any idea who he was. It was a funny moment but it happened. Oh well, Darth Vader stayed a super fan of the Raiders. Everyone makes mistakes, right?

So, next time you go to a Las Vegas Raiders game, whether you are rolling with the Raider Nation or there to support the opposite team, look around, you might see one of the biggest villainous celebrities there is across all galaxies. Yes, you might catch a glimpse of Darth Vader rooting for the Silver and Black. Be nice or you might get choked out!

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this blog. I also hope that you know that this is fictional. Well, there is a Darth Vader fan out there, but I think that he might not be the real fictional character from the Star Wars Trilogy. The thought is what counts. If Darth Vader was real and was to be a fan of any team in the NFL, it would truly be the Las Vegas Raiders. Just the name alone, the Raiders, makes sense as to why the Dark Lord would love the team. So, for those that watch the NFL, try to keep an eye out for Darth Vader. He is always a fun character to find amongst the only true nation of the sport, The Raider Nation.
