In case you needed even more proof that God hates the Raiders . . .

A state court of appeals has overturned a jury verdict of $34.2 million dollars in favor of the Raiders. The jury had found that the City of Oakland (and others) were negligent in informing the Raiders that the 1995 season was sold out, and that 80 percent of seats for the following season had already been sold, leading to the Raiders entering into a new stadium contract to bring them back to Oakland. The jury rejected the Raiders' $800 million fraud claim. However, the court of appeal found that the Raiders waived any damages arising from the initial agreement when they re-negotiated the contract in 1996, relying on a case precedent decided in 1897.

Justice Rodney Davis disagreed with the other two court of appeal justices, saying: "I am perplexed as to why the the majority feels the need to craft a waiver rule that benefits the alleged defrauder at the expense of the defrauded."

The answer of course is karma. Oh, and the other justices are likely Niners fans.
