Our full reaction to the reverse boycott game: ruclips.net/video/CXHuvMpaunQ/видео.html
As a Vegas local, it's heartbreaking seeing our politicians bend over for Fisher too. I hope they saw what happened yesterday and take notice. Why should we believe in all these promises to our community? Look at how they treated the Oakland community!
You definitely should believe the promises because Vegas is a much bigger market than Oakland. It does suck they are leaving cause the history. But they are moving to a bigger market (look how successful the knights have been and they credit a lot of that to their fan base). Plus the stadium in Vegas even though it’s a minor league stadium is better. It’s one of the highest rated minor league parks in all levels until the bigs. Also, they complain that the team has been really bad but that’s definitely a mixture of bad management/ownership and the fact that Oakland is just not a great market for sports teams. Pretty much all their teams have left so it’s harder for me to understand why nobody saw this coming cause teams have been getting out of there for awhile now lol
@@Ja.Crispy a quick Google search shows that the Vegas market will immediately become the smallest TV market in baseball... Plus the knights found success through winning, which the A's don't do. From my perspective as a Vegas resident and a baseball fan, this entire situation is terrible. Besides, how could I believe these promises when the proposal requires a near sell out for 95 nights a year just to cover the tax loans? None of that money is showing up anytime soon either.
@@Ja.Crispywhy should I believe the promises, he found playoff success spending no money, why would he all of a sudden start spending now? He’s gonna do the same thing he did in Oakland and just pocket more profit instead
@@MetsGiants26 cause they are gonna have significantly more money just cause Vegas
@@MetsGiants26okay mets/giants fan. You’re not even from Oakland mind your business.
Gotta feel for Oakland fans. Went through it in SD with the Chargers, and Oakland lost the Warriors, the Raiders, and now the A's in a decade. Vegas wants a team? Why not expansion?
Thank God it seems like the pads are staying. Even though I hate raider fans as an ex charger fan, still feel bad for them losing all their teams. Miss the rivalries
Oakland government did it all. Raiders left, Warriors left, why not the A's?
It happened the same in Japan. The Hokkaido Nippon Ham team moved from Sapporo to North Hiroshima (both are in Hokkaido tho), Sapporo Government did nothing to keep the team until the Nippon Ham team decided to leave.
Warriors had one of the best home courts in all of basketball and they decided to move to San Fran in the middle of their title runs just so that they could charge more for tickets since it’s a more wealthy city. It’s honestly the only move the warriors have made as an organization that made me lose respect for them.
@@ohtani2024it’s not the governments fault that the billionaire owner of the A’s wants a new stadium built entirely with tax payer money. The Oakland government did the right thing.
It's also terrible business for MLB as they are missing on a Vegas expansion fee.
It'd be cool if all the teams were owned by the cities instead. That way profit from the games could actually go into the tax budget to help the city for real.
EVERY sports team that was in Oakland has abandoned the city recently. It can’t be coincidence. Their stadium has been the worst in the league for over a decade
Rich people demanding that other people pay for their playthings will never stop infuriating me.
Who wants to be in Oakland ? 😂
Car thieves
There is already a Triple-A team in Vegas. Who’s watching sports in Vegas when there’s so much other stuff to do?
The Aviators drew the most fans in triple a in 2019, led the triple a west in 2021, and led the pacific coast league in 2022. Idk how many diehard aviator fans there are, but people definitely go. Beautiful ballpark and great location.
All I’m saying is from a business point of view, Vegas doesn’t have enough people coming to fill the seats for both triple a and mlb
@@YoungstomataGambling and Sports go hand in hand
@@Youngstomatalooking at Oakland attendance seems like there’s not enough people in the Bay Area.
Everyone is moving out of California
That's what happens when you sign Lasteroid Daddy Hack IV to a 1 year 1 billion dollar deal. You go 161-1 (he was suspended 1 game for banging the GM's wife I believe) but then next year he leaves and you're left picking up the pieces.
Everybody defends the fans they didn’t show up when the team was good and the city is terribly run they don’t deserve a team
The low attendance started a year after Fischer took over as owner
The attendance before Fischer while the A’s were good was average soooo
The analytics finally caught up to them
I can't wait to see the As Stadium in Vegas filled to the brim with Dodger, Yankees, and Mets fans
You win 21 team leave a champ they don't stay 😮
When teams have to vote for a move, teams always voted yes to move
No amount of winning will keep them there, unfortunately. Dollars will always speak and Vegas is a prime market right now.
Rip today
If only Fisher cared about winning
Die hard fans?…… they couldn’t fill the bench for the last 5-10 years please stop crying over this move it’s stupid and it’s great for mlb and amazing for Las Vegas,looking forward to having the Lv A’s
Yes I agree mlb terrible A’s move to lv talk dirty money should stay Oakland next build new stadium other stadium demonstrations no plm not worth at lv stupid!
Oakland is a Sh*t h**e. It’s a great look for the A’s as they have a chance to compete in a large market! It would be irresponsible for the A’s owners not to move and the fan base is Who????? Good job MLB!
Billion dollar stadiums being built using tax payer money, while people struggle to have basic essentials and the super rich become richer and richer. Ahhh, America! 🇺🇸
I wonder what would have happened if social media existed when the dodgers left Brooklyn. I know my dad never forgave them
The Dodgers made the right move back then, like thr A's are doing now.
Fans/Cities should own the teams not some rich out of touch thug
Stay in Oakland
As much as it sucks, The A's fans have never showed up for their team even in the early 70 WS years they were second to last in attendance. Now is just the ownership putting their dick on their table saying it's their way or nothing, and they are going to get their way
You have no clue what you’re talking about💀
Ownership can point to how the Oakland city government has also let the Warriors and Raiders leave, and while there may be a point there, I wouldn't want my city giving a nice new stadium to an owner who has never shown interest in winning a championship. You can develop great players, but if you trade guys away decade after decade without extending a few big names or bringing in a key free agent to get you over the hump to win it all, then you clearly haven't earned a new stadium (which realistically shouldn't be payed for with government funds anyways). I grew up hearing about how bad the Baltimore Colts ownership was, but I think the malice shown here probably outweighs the pure incompetence in that scenario.
How has he shown no interest in winning a championship?
Oakland have had teams capable of winning it all in the 2010s. Also why talk about the owner not spending money on players when that’s literally the history of the Franchises time in Oakland. Almost every owner the team has had didn’t spend money. The owner previous to this one didn’t spend either and it led to the creation of MoneyBall. A previous owner in the 70’s tried “trading” Vida Blue, Rollie Fingers, and Joe Rudi for at the time was $2.5 mill ($13 mill today). The reason? Because he didn’t want to pay them.
Awful take... The fans haven't shown up for this team in forever. Additionally, a significant portion of their "die hard" fan base has left California because of impossibly high costs and increasing crime... specifically in Oakland. This move is exactly what's needed for the franchise to thrive, and it may suck, but it is what it is.
The fans don’t show up because they’re boycotting the games. The owner doesn’t want to pay good players so he lets all them leave then expects fans to show up to eat by he worst team in the league every year.
Do you know this team is on pace for like 20 wins total this year? And you think it’s the rams faults for not showing up????
And you’re saying fans have left because of high costs, well what the owner demanded of the city for the team to stay was to build an entire new stadium with only tax payer money. That woulda made that problem a whole lot worse.
You should look into the facts before posting your half naked opinion lol
@@eliyarrows2456they’ve been boycotting since the 70s when they were dead last in attendance AFTER winning 3 World Series.
@@eliyarrows2456 A's attendance was always bad, even when they were winning way before Fisher was the owner. I'm a A's fan since I was born but I grew up in Sacramento. So I only went to games once in a while. Oakland also for the most part is a terrible city. Always have been. It has gotten worst.
#WoeToTheCityOfOaktown!
meh
22 teams would give the AS fastballs down the middle if that was the case
If they had a winner?
They won 97 games in ‘18 and ‘19 yet averaged 19k and 20k fans respectively.
Stadium sucks? What do they have to sit on shards of broken glass of something? It’s plastic sears like everywhere else.
Your definition of die-hard is very different than mine.
Its not a bad look for MLB its a bad look for Oakland. If Oakland wasnt a garbage heap this issue wouldnt exist.
Oakland getting exactly what they deserve
Moneyball streak Jake... what? Nah like drought and laz Vegas drying up like the sin hole it is... that'll keep the A's in Oakland... what happend to the waterfront stadium? Oh politics... Jesus money? Oh never mind I'll stifle my hippy self out of this conversation
Having a pro team playing in the oakland coliseum is also a bad look for mlb.
If there was a best place for Oakland to move it would be Vegas being the raiders just did and people moved with them to be closer to the team, I think it’ll all work out in the end.
Nobody's moving to follow a team except for players and coaches. If you leave me behind, then goodbye.
@@ReidTheRulesGuy and the more teams and sporting events Las Vegas has the prices go up. Storage fee went up 62$ a month and rent by 60 in January
They could win 40 in a row and they would still leave. Oakland is not a good city, I don’t blame them for wanting to leave.
