The Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers hate one another. There is really no better way to put it. The two franchises are rivals and usually go back and forth on the field in every game they play. The fans and players feel that same way.
The Raiders split the season series with the Chargers last season, but if you ask me, if the Raiders had made the switch to Antonio Pierce earlier, the Raiders would have won that game - mainly because the Raiders' locker room was already broken by the time the first meeting between these two teams happened.
So, when the Chargers do their little cute social media stuff—trying to roast the teams that have destroyed them, like the Raiders and Chiefs—Raiders players don't like it. The Chargers made a post before the schedule was released comparing all of their opponents to pop-tarts. The one they selected for the Raiders was the "Garbage" flavor.
Jermaine Eluemunor, a former Raiders offensive tackle for the last few years, did not take that lightly at all.
If I remember correctly last season The Raiders (Including Myself) beat that ass on National TV and put 63 up on y'all's garbage team. We literally had a 350 pound Nose Tackle score on y'all like cmon lmfao

Eluemunor is no longer with the Raiders, as he signed a deal with the New York Giants this offseason, but he loved his time with them. He was a guy who was always very vocal about what it meant to play for the Raiders, and obviously, as we see here, he is defending the shield.
