Fans stay true-
I'm not a fan, but I hope the team stays. I even wish they would stay in Oakland.
Even though the Oakland A's are in Oakland 96%of fans are Eastbay middleclass people. They are victims of Alameda County supervisors. They only represent the ghetto while everyone over the hill in Pleasanton , Dublin, and Livermore carry the the idiot class, and support their own demise. Where do you think the criminals that shut down South Oakland by the airport will go next? Sanleadro, its pretty much already done. So thought the Tunnel to Walnut creek or over the hill to Stoneridge, or whats left of it. After 20yrs of Bart its been lost of what we had.
would be cool to build a stadium in east bay; doesn't have to be oakland. i mean the 9ers play in a suburb of san jose; big deal
🤮🤮🤮💔💔💔🤬🤬🤬
I propose we redistrict Oakland, Berkeley & Richmond into their own county, where their citizens & governments can "experiment" with far-left-of-center policy.
The remainder of Contra Costa and Alameda counties get better, more local governance; the People's Republic of the Yay doesn't have to pretend to listen to people from flyover country anymore. Win-win imho.
it will fail. stevie wonder could have seen that coming and he's blind as a bat lol@@3001416
Oakland is a bad city. They don’t deserve anything
Their future is not uncertain. It's for certain that the team is moving to Las Vegas and it's just plain foolish to think anything otherwise. The move was approved unanimously by the other team owners.
I live on Sacramento and when the kings were planning on leaving, the Sacramento community got together and after every game was over they would chant here we stay very loud and thousands of fans stayed to chant here we stay. I really hope the A’s can stay in Oakland
Pointless protests
you’ve never lost a team people from Seattle and Vancouver know what it’s like to loose an NBA team. San Diego and St. Louis know what it’s like to lose an NFL team. Those cities know the pain of these people not you
@@reidpribble3878 Lost a team? Are these teams own by the fans? How do you lose something that you never owned? People like you are delusional, lol
@@no40 bro your delusional without the fans there is no team. When you have a team they become a part of you. You spend money on merchandise, tickets, food at the game, etc you sound dumb af 😂😂😂
@no40 You spend 2.5 hours most every day, for six months, rooting for its success. You never get paid for it. And maybe on a rare occasion you get to shake the hand of a person who helps make it possible.
Sports Fandom at its finest.
@HHSGDFootballJPD ....and it's sports fandom that led you to believe that you have some ownership with the team when in reality, you don't. You are just a spectacular and supporter.
The people of Oakland deserve the opportunity to have NHL hockey at the Coliseum Arena because Oakland is most definitely major league.
Pushing Fisher isn’t going to work. There needs to be lawsuits!!!
Good, fan attendance in Oakland should be 0!!! Owner is awful. Who wants to see. Worst owner in any sports!!!!! Period!!!!😡😡😡 Disgusting.
Oakland doesn’t derive jack 😂
Damn yo MLB is nuts. Oakland ftw!
I’m a fan in Vegas (in general and highest priority of MLB-overall (no team specifically) and international growth of baseball, due to how that all is best for THE GAME, and then due to my history I’m a fan of 1. Mariners, 2. Dodgers, 3. A’s-and looking very much forward to bumping the A’s to #1 (and M’s way down) if the move goes through due to how (long story) that would be full-circle for me like the Raiders’ move here was). So where do I stand? 1. Vegas will be good for THE GAME no matter what. 2. If it’s the A’s, well that sucks for OAK, but as millions of non-Californians will also tell you, CA and OAK in particular has your blames and priorities all wrong for the myriad of things that ail you, and you just aren’t getting things done there, and (blame Fisher, whatever Commish, blah blah blah all you want) this is just one more sign of that (if it wasn’t, then, at the very least, you wouldn’t have lost the Dubs to The City, for goodness sake), so a solution is needed and most non-Californians will tell you that it it doesn’t lie there the way things are for the foreseeable future regardless of what solutions have already been proposed (if they were so good then they would’ve happened a long time ago, much less by now, for the same reasons alluded to already), so many Las Vegans like myself pledge to be good stewards of the A’s, even though (especially because many of us are also suspect whether Fisher will really put his money where his mouth has been regarding building a new ballpark here) it will take time for the A’s fanbase to grow here, with winning being the crux of that. And, my main reason for commenting: 3. BUTT OUT OF VEGAS’ BUSINESS, STARTING WITH THE “SCHOOLS OVER STADIUMS” MATTER!!! I don’t care how much you want to keep your team (and that’s not what any non-Californian questions, for your support of A’s *baseball* all this time besides all the nonsense going on for decades regarding making an appropriate facility and keeping the team there has nevertheless been obvious (and this is what the mayor of Las Vegas PROPER (which is only a third of the valley land area and population and not even over the area where any of the potential ballpark sites are) meant when she thinks it would be best if a solution could be found there)), but supporting that organization is going way too far, so SHAME ON YOU! That is for Nevadans to decide and support or not in the meantime as WE see fit!!!
Good. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. The Coliseum was the only MLB stadium built since WWII with purely private funding upfront (and one of two in the NFL). If they don't want to honor that heritage and pay for a remodel or new stadium themselves, then good riddance.
I have also met at least one tax-payer from Clark county who told me that him & several other las vegas residents were on Facebook, pretending to be fans from Oakland, echoing calls for the A's to stay in Oakland. They're astroturfing, along with our own local idiots, so that Clark County doesn't get scammed into buying (another) new stadium for wealthy owners (from California).
I get their reasoning - who goes to vegas and wants to sit through a ball game? But they are a wealthier city & county and are carrying way less debt. If the A's want a first world stadium experience, fine, but don't try to build it off the backs of rate-payers in our third world town.
We'll be lucky if they leave without wasting another nanosecond of Oakland/Alameda county's time, cause there are far more drastic issues here our civil servants should be working on instead.
lol
By going soft on crime and de-funding the police, the city of Oakland has created a very uncertain future for citizens.
The bigger picture is- baseball is dying.
A’s are just the beginning. Younger ppl are not interested in the sport anymore-that is the major issue here. Bottom 3rd of the league
are struggling financially/not sustainable franchises. Sure, Vegas might be a bigger market
and it might save this particular franchise.
Doesnt change the narrative. MLB is struggling- big time
For real? I wouldn’t call a spike in viewership and attendance last year “dying.”
@@wizardoferror9942 It's dying. You aren't paying attention. Quit watching fake news.
@@wizardoferror9942Not in the next 5 years or even 10. But among the pro sports in the US, among males 18-25 only 7% called
MLB 'their favorite sport', whereas NFL was like 35+%. Thats your future, dude. I believe even soccer scored higher than that.
Look up the stats, I aint kiddin
@@erikhalvorseth3950Well, MLB aren’t worried in the slightest if viewership and attendance drop because they are always the most attended league in person. The worst seats in a ballpark are always sold out. On top of that, you have to also consider streaming and radio listeners.
@@wizardoferror9942Yes, they had a spike in attendance this past year (probably because of the pitch clock). They also had the least watched World Series in ratings history in '23 too (going back to around 1968).
Here's a clue. If you don't boycott your team you don't need to do a "reverse boycott". You're welcome.
"Owner of Last Dive Bar": AKA follow the money.
Vegas won't fix how poorly and intentionally run this owner John Fisher, has run this team. A's belong in Oakland and Vegas will never love this team like Oakland fans.....
Las Vegas A”
The A's are gone.
tell us something we don't know, fruit cake🍉🍒🍓
did you flag my comment? how proud you must be

STAY IN OAKLAND!!!
Oakland is a failed City full of failures
