Oakland now has zero mainstream sports teams.
The seals, warriors, raiders & now, athletics!! This is historically bad. Losing teams in 4 major pro sports!!
@@dwjoseph59And that's despite seeing Oakland contributing to 10 of the 21 San Francisco Bay Area sports titles in the Big Five Pro Sports Leagues in North America (MLB, NHL, NFL, NBA, and MLS (Six if you count Canada's CFL)).
@joesakic91 yep, that's the unique thing about the bay area. That Bay Area Rapid Transit/BART train connects that entire area, you could go from one side of the bay to the other in minutes.
@joesakic91 many years & pounds ago, my army reserve unit did summer camp training at the national guard base named camp parks in dublin, ca. We went to an oakland a's gane, took the BART train under the bay to san fran from oaktown, went to fisherman's warf & caught the ferry boat to alcatraz island. That was a day they rewarded us with before flying back home to louisiana. We were building a new road & training at camp parks. I had a ball, even took a pic inside one of the jail cells at alcatraz island. They said we would be in the jail cells for 5 minutes, we were in that darn thing for 20 minutes 😳😳😲😲😆😆😄😄!! You could hear then hit the switch & the cell doors lock!! It reminded me about how i never want to do something stupid enough that would lead me to end up in a place like that!!
Born in Oakland and can't blame the A's for leaving a city I don't even want to set foot in.
You ain’t lying Oakland turned into trash 🗑 pro sports leaving is a sign of that
@@bingbing2223 2.0 gpa logic
Ah yes so the White Sox and Cubs should leave Chicago? The YANKEES should leave New York? The Dodgers should leave LA? The Tigers should leave Detroit? The Giants should leave San Francisco? The Phillies should leave Philadelphia? The Cardinals should leave St. Louis? You’re logic is so incredibly terrible. Vegas is a terrible city also. By your pathetic logic every MLB team should be playing in remote villages in Alaska
@@CumLordGary Why are you so emotional ?
@@CumLordGary 🤣 at comparing oakland to cities 10 times its size
Feel sad for the Oakland Athletics fans!! I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
Reminds me, when I was a kid in Kansas City and the A's left for Oakland. It never ends.
Our Deepest Condolences ironically I loved the Giants beating the Midwest and Texas and finally seeing 3 champio ships I do have Royals Shirts I love the Oakland High Blue and The White colors. And have relocated to Royal Kingdom Land. 😂
@@ReggieRegenold-uq2bz Amazing that Texas ended up with your old manager and won it all again. This time in the American league.
At least folks in Kansas City got the Royals just one season later in 1969. I doubt Oakland fans will ever get another baseball team again
@@CumLordGary That's an excellent point. I feel you as I am an NBA fan and we lost the Kings to Sacramento in 1983 and have been trying to get another team ever since. KC even has a new multimillion dollar arena and still no luck.
Yep
Leave that shthole!! Oakland/SF/California!! Great move for owners!!
As an A's fan I couldn't agree more.
Vegas is America's jewelry.
And now Oakland has no sports. The Golden State warriors in the NBA moved from Oakland across the bay to San Francisco. Then the Oakland Raiders of the NFL moved to Las Vegas. And now the Athletics are moving to Las Vegas. Disappointing
oh thanks i didnt know
The Athletics actually started in Philadelphia and then moved to Kansa City before moving Oakland in the 1960's
@@WDI2008 yes thats true
true but where did they reside at the longest
Vegas will treat the A’s better
Oh yeah sure Vegas has an amazing history with treating our teams correctly. It’s totally not like my favorite football team went from having the best fanbase in football to now serving as an extra home game for our opponent. Thank god we get 1 game in LA each year against the Chargers so we have at least 1 home game
@@CumLordGary cry more lmao
@@CumLordGarythere hasn’t been narratives about more away fans since McDumbass was coach
Crazy how Oakland had more sports teams than San Jose which is a way bigger city
And Oakland contributed to 10 of the 21 San Francisco Bay Area's Big Five North American Pro Sports League titles.
They should moved to Sacramento if they couldnt work out a deal with Oakland. San Jose was the ideal location but the SF Giants prevented that. I have doubts on Vegas.
Why would the SF Giants care if the A's moved to San Jose especially considering we only have the San Jose Sharks to root for
Blame Oakland politicians for their corruptions
John Fisher is worth nearly 3 billion dollars he can build one himself
Oakland progressive mayors are to blame. They all blew it. Don't blame owner for leaving
What Person in the world for wanna live in shitty dilapidated rundown bum infested Oakland the politicians are beyond corrupt dude they’re just inept at this point
Kissing the feet of billionaires and blaming the city for not wanting to fund a multi-billionaire's property with tax dollars.
@@bulletprooftiger1879 have you been to Oakland it's a complete dump ?
Oaklands fault!
Look into it it’s actually fishers fault Oakland has the money for the project
@@stayypunkonstrike3345 You need to stop listening to media punts who want you angry. 1: The city still doesn't have all the funding it applied for. 2: Even if they actually had all the money, the port never voted to approve the project so the city couldn't move ahead with it.
Like it or not the A's were on a deadline. The port had 3 years to get it done and didn't. That's why the MLB keeps saying there was no deal, because the cities own term sheet prevented them from making one. They were legally prohibited from signing off on anything until the port handed down its position. Only once the port made its call, could the city and the A's start final negotiations.
Meanwhile Nevada got shit done in a few months. If Oakland wants expansion like some are kicking around they have to change their processes, the MLB is not going to wait 3 years for bureaucrats in Oakland when other cities put up their bids.
@@louiscypher4186 so why are you okay with a scummy owner who wanted the works with Oakland on stadium location and extra (housing restaurants hotels the entire area re paved etc) to the bare minimum in Vegas that’ll share property with a hotel for significantly less so if he wanted to do the same in Oakland with how he’s handling Vegas a ballpark would’ve been broke ground years ago
@@stayypunkonstrike3345 I'm not "ok" with anything, it is what it is. No amount of emotion will change reality.
As for the claims that the port would have approved "just a stadium" and quickly, they are groundless and under the termsheet it would have been outright rejected.
You can continue to be angry, you can continue to tell yourself the city played on part in this. But the reality wont change.
I've been right about the A's and this relocation all the way back in 2021 when all the "experts" and "insiders" were saying Vegas wasn't a serious consideration, that it was "just a bluff".
@@stayypunkonstrike3345 More social media BS. Not one cent of the money they have found in free money from the government can be used to build the stadium -- by law. Its stuff the city would need to do just to have the ability to build a stadium, and they are still by the Mayor's own words about $400M short.
Oakland will forever be Oakland. Las Vegas will look like Dubai in 20 years. The All-Star game ,The playoffs, and possibly a World Series in Las Vegas! Billions will be made. It's a NO-BRAINER.
Vegas is what Dubai wants to be bro.
If it makes dollars, it makes sense.
Dubai was and continues to be built using alave labor. Dubai will never be Las Vegas no matter how big it gets. At the end of the day Dubai wa built using forced labor, slave wages, and human trafficking.
There will never be a World Series in Vegas
Hang in there A's fans! Nevada residents do not want any part of Fisher. I don’t see the A's moving.....Support and love to Oakland A's fans!❤
I dont blame the A's. Oakland is a dump!
AMEN!!!!!!!
So is Chicago, Detroit, New York, LA, San Francisco, St. Louis, Philadelphia, and DC and they all have sports teams. Why is Oakland the only city that gets this treatment. You do realize that Oakland is only 400,000 of a market of OVER 8 MILLION?
bro dont sit up here talking shit about our MFing stadium the F is wrong with you.
sad.
start rooting for the
Giants and 9ers
😂 yo…I don’t understand why more people are not talking about this?! Lol! This is equivalent to the Yankees or Mets going to like Connecticut or something!😂 are u kidding meeeee?! Vegas?! This is absolutely horrible!!
Sad news everyone’s leaving Oakland due to all the violence the warriors the raiders now the As smh😢
I cleaned my dentures today😂😂
Im an A's fan from the bay area but moved to Utah and Im happy that the A's will have a new ballpark in Vegas. Been a A's fan for 30 years i feel bad for diehards in Oakland and the bay area but happy the A's will have a new ballpark. Change is good Go A's
20 years from now people in Oakland will still be saying "it ain't over. Fisher is going to sell!" LOL
Blame it on Democrats!
Blame it on Republicans!
@@MrBlueBot5that’s funny 😄 California is a one party state Democrats
Blame it on the billionaire owner with 3 billion in his bank account that could’ve built a new stadium 20 years ago if he cared
Warriors - gone
Raiders - gone
Athetics - soon to be gone
Oakland has gone from the home of 3 successful teams to having absolutely NOTHING!!
Do you wanna live in crappy shitty Oakland?
That’s socialism👍
@@inthemoment8410spot on the money there.
They should get a mls or xfl team
They are getting the Ballers this year.
The fans should blame their local government. They had 30 plus years to work out a deal to keep the A's in town. That ballpark has been been a dump for a generation now. Its a larger sign of the incompetence from politicians who have destroyed the city.
We still have Schools Over Stadiums that could defeat the relocation. Don't give up, Oakland!
I had a vision
Booooo
I feel bad for the As fans
I’ve been a “Oakland” A’s fan since day one
These team owners don't care what fans think. Also, the financial costs put on tax payers to keep a team. Why dont Las Vegas start its own football and baseball teams? They dont want to do the work and go through the process.
we would prefer that honestly, but relocation is more common than expansion, and existing teams want to do business in vegas
@@ACE7O2no we in Vegas wouldn’t prefer that.
@805fillmore yea we would, home grown teams like the golden knights. Not everyone wants pro sports in vegas, but those that do would prefer expansion
@@ACE7O2 nope we just want a team. Just like LA got the dodgers from New York or the lakers from Minneapolis. Look at New York the Knicks are homegrown and no one likes them.
@@805fillmore if you wanted a team you would support the Raiders but everytime I watch what was my favorite team play it’s always filled with the opposing teams color.
This is how they sounded when the Raiders moved so it’s the same song and dance so nothing surprising to me but anyways Las Vegas A’s does have a good ring to it
"I don't root for teams out of state" meanwhile a very small percentage of players are from there. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The a,s are staying in Oakland forever
Too little too late.
Sell the team!
Hell no
Both Raiders and As asked for a new stadium. Blame Oakland elected officials.
Next up lake merrite
That the team is going to be coming back from Vegas
All 27 fans showed up to complain, Oakland is driving out all businesses not just its sports teams.. They can boycott but nobody would notice. First city to lose all 4 sports franchises.
Fire John fisher
From Oakland To Las Vegas: What Happens Over There, Should Hopefully Just Stay Over There, Okay?
It's all John fishers fault
Nah. John Fisher was the final nail in the Oakland A's coffin.
It will be 2034 and the A's will still be touring minor league parks while Fisher is still looking for a city dumb enough to build him a stadium so he can collect revenue checks.
let it go
Hey hey hey gooooood byyyyyye 🤲🏾🇺🇸 ☠️👽🤕
These owners and leagues don’t want blue collar fans from Oakland and the Central Valley. They want Yuppies and visiting fans from all over the world. I was a Raiders season ticket holder fan and when the Raiders left, they kept trying to force me to be a Rams fans. Oakland is at a disadvantage in that SF has both baseball and football as an alternative. I would rather quit altogether than switch to Giants and Niners.
You said it perfectly
its all systemic to destroy the middle class in the bay area, which its been working, tearing down the city which could have been one of the best middle class cities in America if they built a stadium in the 1990s or early 2000s instead they rely on a 1960 infrasture building as a source for revenue that oakland needs to thrive. its what happens when u neglect certain needs in a city. in my opinion uc berkeley should have been in Oakland it would have been a big spot for oakland because it can give money since college cities drive in revenue but man they want to tear down oakland its fucked
bro i aint gonna lie i support so much more just for saying that real shit, i agree you said that perfectly
Do they know Vegas is a adults play ground not a family community city
But..but...why would they leave such a woke and liberal utopia ? Oh well, at least thsy still have the Warriors and Raiders 😂😂😂
No they don't
Is everything about politics to you? I bet you also were saying to keep politics out of sports in may 2020
@@TheMW2informer Good point 👍 Politics has nothing to do with sports, but everything to do with policies that effect the quality of life for its residents.
Ias Vegas is The worst city in USA
Who cares ?!!
bro get the F outta the comment section.
