    The Spanos family moved my Charges to LA after 50 years in SD. I feel for A's fans and what it is to have your team owned by a cheap owner.

    Blame the mayor of oakland. She is not a sport fan.

      I’ll say it like this I don’t know for a fact whether she’s a sports fan or not, but I simply believe the A’s weren’t simply enough of a priority to her.
      I only saw a female mayor who only seemed to care, when her office and her email got bombarded with numerous complaints.
      She decided to publicly light a fire, only after she knew it was too late.
      She went in front of the Oakland media and put out crocodile tears
      ( after Fisher made the Vegas deal.)
      Frankly on the A’s situation Nev. Governor Joe Lombardo and his office got things done in under 2 months, over the near 2 years Mayor Thao has been supposedly being trying to get things done.
      For whatever the reason why that last statement is true Joe Lombardo and the Nevada Legislature moved way way faster than even I thought.
      I’m someone who is in support of it and I didn’t thought it wouldn’t get finalized till September.

    The A's fans in Oakland. Need to do a reverse boycott. Once or twice a week. To everyone's attention. That might help them reject the deal or moving the team.

    Why did we ever socialize building baseball stadiums? Capitalism for us, socialism for corporations. It should be illegal to "subsidize" private enterprise.

    • @davemathews7890
      @davemathews7890 Před 11 měsíci +1

      Because money rules in this country. Corporate welfare begins with massive tax breaks and ends with billions of dollars in subsidies. Not coincidentally, most of these corporations contribute heavily to politicians who make the decisions about who gets tax breaks and subsidies.

    I assume that the team owners are planning to return all of the tax breaks and subsidies that the city of Oakland has given them over the last five decades.

    No public money should ever go to billionaires for a stadium. Not like they give the people free tickets and there is no guaranteed they will leave in future anyhow.

    It isn't going to make a difference. They are selling and moving to Vegas. Just because fans show up for one game doesn't mean they are going to be profitable. Say goodbye to them Oakland....color them gone. #vegasbound
