Been an A's fan my whole life and i cant see supporting this ownership group under any circumstances. Even if they're forced back to Oakland and get the waterfront ballpark, they still wouldnt spend on the team. Happened w the Quakes. The whole thing feels hopeless. If only Manfred had balls and forced him to sell!
Appears those in Oakland hate the team owner and management so much, they ran them out of town... Why would they come back to those who stabbed them in the back? The A's are gone, to wherever....
@@ronclark9724 Nonsense. Fisher has been fielding a minor league team at the major league level. As soon as a player has a halfway decent season, he is sent packing. Come back when you get some actual knowledge.
@Ron Clark In what world is that how things went down lol. You’re either a fool or completely in fishers pocket. You’re delusional lol. Even other MLB owners are publicly digging at Fisher right now. (Middleton just yesterday!)
That's a great question, their absolutely ditching this entire fanbase and looking to recreate a whole new one in Vegas? I know way too many Dodger and Diamondback fans in that part of Nevada to honestly say that will be true. They only want that tourist money, their not committed to time honered traditions and a fanbase that's built on many generations or real blue collar people...
Most owners care more about money than winning. The ONLY reason the Warriors won 4 titles was because of the new owner. The last owner cared way more about money.
@@RichmondHBK Some owners pay some of the cost themselves it is the greedy ones who wont that a city that is not rich where it can hurt them to do that. One story even said some cities would be better off to give everyone in the city 20k to 50k to start their own business that had to remain in the city and pay taxes would have better odds to make the city profit. What is even the point of having an owner when the city could just buy the whole team? That would be the way to do it if you were going to. At least if you own a team you can sell it for a massive profit in 20 + years even if you do not know anything.
This is making me not want to be an A's fan now. Seeing how the A's organization is handling this whole thing. Like he said they're abandoning the community. They could potentially have a profitable ballpark along the waterfront in Oakland.
Interesting exchange. It seems that Nevada is accomodating the team.. they do have a surplus versus Oakland's deficit. I understand A's reasons.. time will tell if this move will be approved or is possibly the best decision for the organization. I thought it was a done deal..
Yeah why would Nevada lawmakers want to deal business with John Fisher the problem isn’t the A’s it’s Kaval & Fisher I don’t get it man you had a great team in 2019 don’t wanna invest into the team yet say we’re gonna be great for the community you robbed Oakland fans of pure joy what makes you think Las Vegas will be true fans of the A’s the real question here is will John Fisher be same owner how he was in Oakland because honestly even if the A’s move I don’t see him changing his ways so why would Nevada want the A’s doesn’t make sense the owner isn’t even no where to be found man jus wow this is just a bunch of a waste of time for Nevada
This is ignorant, the raiders and the warriors did the same thing. You can’t blame them, Oakland is a dump, the city has abandoned its businesses and citizens a long time ago by doing horrible public policy and lack of security. Oakland is a lost cause, they want out. They won’t leave Vegas, Vegas is booming right now it’s one of the hottest markets and fastest growing cities. Look at how successful the raiders and the golden nights are in Vegas. Raiders jumped from the 31 nfl team in net worth to the top 5.
@@michaelgriffith4110 Then why don’t you criticize the Raiders and the Warriors? Why can they leave Oakland but the As can’t?? Why can’t the people see the problem is Oakland. 3 major sports teams have left. Common denominator, that’s right, Oakland. I rest my case.
To me how I see it John Fisher & the ownership have really put a dent to the A’s from top to bottom .. I heard he’s in the bay looking at the old Raiders facility to purchase yet can’t even put his dollars into the Coliseum just a joke show man he his I really question myself on what kind of owner he his & for the A’s president to be in Vegas & the owners practically looking to purchase the old Raiders facility is jus hilarious to me yet can’t even put money back into he coliseum for plenty of years jus hilarious man yet sad to see of how much of this one man literally ruined everything for A’s fans I truly think if we had a different regime from 2012-present we’d have a dynasty from that time we were on a run every time seemed like the A’s were up there in the win column the ownership blew up the team ANYTHING FISHER DOES JUST MAKES ABSOLUTELY 0 ZEROOO SENSE TO ME SINCE HES BEEN A OWNER OF THE A’S he’s never been able to talk in front of the A’s fans man jus shows how much if his character truly is jus terrible
I love how they continue to blame the stadium. Do what every owner in the sports world does... build a new stadium. I hate the A's but Fisher is a rat and the A's belong in the Bay Area somewhere.
i really don’t understand why you get just build a new stadium at the current location in Oakland the bart is right there that makes everything worth it … the Howard terminal was never realistic and Vegas doesn’t want the A’s it seems like
While a baseball team and stadium in Las Vegas makes sense, I'm not sure pulling it away from another city is necessary or wise. Especially with all the circumstances surrounding it. Was the team sabotaged on purpose by the owner or something? Not sure what it takes to create a new team, but apparently they did with hockey, don't see why they can't with baseball.
Just imagine if it gets built on the strip and which corporation its really going to benefit? And just imagine when these casinos will push for World Series Here
The difference between the Raiders & the A’s is Allegiant stadium is being payed overtime with tourist/hotel taxes while the A’s (Fisher & Kaval) want public taxes being funded for ballpark on The Strip
The .88% hotel tax that is used to pay the bonds on the Raiders stadium has been insufficient to pay required payments 2 times and Clarke County has had to make those payments from the county’s emergency fund ( which comes from public taxes).
The Raiders stadium was built with over $750 million tax dollars, taken from the Clark County “rainy day” tax fund (typically used for Nevada education, 50th in education by the way), that we’ve all paid into for decades (if you’ve even lived here that long). That increased hotel tax you’re talking about isn’t going to pay off the stadium for many, many decades. Oh, and now we have to pay for parking in Las Vegas because the gross toilet bowl looking stadium doesn’t have any. I’m not from California so I’m pretty educated about the stadium. Congratulations
@@hotdogstandman not only the taxes are being used in Clark County, the whole state of Nevada are paying for it. I saw a hotel tax increase while staying at the Peppermill in Reno
Billionaires pandering for public money so they can still grossly over pay multimillionaire people that play a game . The money would be better spent on the PEOPLE of Nevada !!!
I believe its called Oakland Alameda County Coliseum or was so who owns the property and doesn't that make them liable for repairs? I know I'm responsible for repairs on my house. Look both sides are to blame here and if EITHER SIDE wanted this to work it would. Been a fan since they came to Oakland but I'm realistic.
@@brentduanefoster That very well may be but they do pay a lease and depending on how that reads ( and I have no idea how it does) there is more than likely one side that is responsible for repairs.
ight for 1 the bay area alone has more people than your whole stay so hush and 2 ok good plz support them there were more of us that supported them but due to what the owners did there’s only 2k now. if you’re hyped for that in your town good for you i guess
Alameda County, present home of the As, has a larger population than the State of Nevada. A little context is needed here. The As insisted on a 10 year lease on the Coliseum at the time when the Raiders presented a plan for redevelopment of the Coliseum complex, which included new stadiums for both teams. That, in effect, ended the process for keeping the Raiders in Oakland. MLB should force a sale of the club to a ownership team committed to putting a quality product on the field and work with Oakland to secure a stadium.
This is headed to a Beautiful NO vote🎉🎉🎉
Sadly, it didn't

Oakland had over 20 years to provide a new stadium and they never did. It’s Oaklands fault not the A’s period.

We want the A's like we want food halls instead of Buffets(We Don't)

Fisher would never spend enough to even make playoffs so dont expect anything for 10 years at least.
Like anything else - follow the $$$
