Raiders leave, I follow.
A’s leave, good fucking riddance.
Even at their worst, the raiders wanted to win. The A’s just want your money and won’t keep a team together. Fuck them forever and always

Rooted in Oakland My Ass
Fkn lame, I don’t even follow baseball but why do they gotta tag along.
Us? Many of us are stilll rooted in Oakland.
I hope the A's fail in the desert. Fuck them, actual poverty franchise.
"Rooted in Oakland" 😂
If Mark was smart he'd fire Josh McDaniels.
As a former A's diehard, fuck the A's and fuck the uneducated fans that didn't and still don't understand how they fucked the Raiders out of Oakland.
I hope Mark makes it hard for them at every turn, since the A's organization did the same in Oakland.
The A's have been crying poverty since the bash brothers were a thing, but the fact of the matter is that the Bay Area is rich enough and populated enough to support 2 baseball and 2 football teams, but the A's chose to make easy money and in the process, pushed out one of the football teams.
Fuck the A's.
Wants a stadium, is a billionaire.
He won't sell stock
He won't sell the team
He won't find investors
He won't take a loan
He just wants a free stadium with welfare forever and no expenses whatsoever. In return, he will do jack shit. What the fuck is his point of being? GTFO of my city.
RoOtEd In OaKlAnD
Not an As fan so idk how to feel. As long as those dudes find another place that’s not allegiant for 2-3 years, it’s alright ig. The next generation of oakland natives will maybe start rooting for San Francisco teams which sucks though.
I hope the Athletics brand stays in Oakland. I realized it didn’t start in Oakland, but I feel dead with them moving to LV. Like others I followed Raiders there despite wanting them to stay in oakland. Rather than repeat what most said, I’ll just go upvote them. Fuck fisher
Fuck John Fisher entitled piece of shit
Oakland just got abandoned by all three professional sports teams. That’s crazy.
I’m not an A’s fans. But can someone explain to me why Oakland hates them? (I’m not from the West Coast)
"ROoTeD iN OaKLanD"
Fuck John Fisher. Not following the A’s to Vegas like I did with the Raiders. Mark Davis might not be the best owner but you know he loves the Raiders and its fans. Fisher doesn’t care about the team or the fans, just wants to make the most money while doing the bare minimum.
As a former A's fan that used to bleed green and gold until they literally ruined baseball for me, I look forward to seeing that empty stadium. The Vegas A's will fail, nobody will give a shit about them. How removed from reality do you have to be to think they can fill that stadium for 81 games?
I feel bad for the players and coaches, butt fuck John Fisher. Nothing will make me happier than watching this fail.
Sorry about your loss, but I think they will just do fine in LV and probably better from the business side. Even if they suck.
LV is a huge tourist spot, and away fans will fill it up.
I'm not for the move. I have family in Oakland, and they are super upset.
How many people do you think are going to fly to Vegas to watch their team play on a random Wednesday?
I mean that would definitely be the spot to do it.
You act like people don't go to Vegas on a whim. Lol.
stadium gonna be filled with some of Nevada’s most degenerate gamblers
So... this will be a stadium with a roof right? Imagine going to a summer ball game in Vegas when its 115 degrees outside.
Does that make Mark Davis Moses?
they better stay the fuck away from allegiant. no more of that infield dirt bullshit
Allegiant can't even hold a World Cup game. The field is too narrow. How would they be able to host baseball?
I was definitely more of an As fan than a raiders growing up so this hurt me in a way the raiders move didn’t. The raiders already left us for LA one time, so another move was always likely. But the As have been shitting on Oakland for 20 years and pretending not to have money or fans when the truth was they just didn’t want to be there. Oakland is great town and hopefully we get another Baseball, football, or basketball team eventually.
fuck the As. and my goodness where they wanna put the stadium is going to make the stadium ten times more of a clusterfuck
Vegas native here:
Fuck the A's. I know a handful of people that are excited we're getting a baseball team here, and it's solely so they don't have to travel to see their actual favorite team when they come to town.
The ownership group is the worst in pro sports now that Eugene Melnyk died to relinquish control of the Senators, and Dan Snyder was forced to sell the Commanders. They will never have a competitive team again. They aren't interested in winning. They're just interested in fielding the bare minimum team so they can make money from watching their team get futtbucked by every other team.
Whoever in Vegas government saw how they were given a sweetheart deal in Oakland and even that wasn't enough for them and still said, "yeah let's give them tax money!" is a fucking idiot.
And this is on top of the clusterfuck that is the F1 race in town. Locals are pretty pissed off at our tax money going to making ridiculously wealthy people more money while making our lives worse, for like the 3rd time in just a handful of years. And the A's are just a dumpster fire. Nothing about the actual team is exciting.
I hope that someone comes along that purchases the A’s history as MLB expands to 32 teams so this Vegas team has to rebrand. For an example think about the Browns moving to Baltimore and rebranding as the Ravens then the expansion Browns team (now their divisional rivals).
They gonna fk us Dodgers fans out here from watching them over here. 🤦🏽♂️👎🏽
Fuck the A’s bro
🖕 screw the A's
I get why the city prioritized the A's over the Raiders - 81 games vs 8. But it was a big mistake, because I feel it's become obvious that Davis was actually negotiating with Oakland in good faith while that was never the case with the A's.
I still root for the Raiders as hard as I did when they were in LA and Oakland, but the Vegas thing is sad. It's gonna wind up like the Phoenix market - oversaturated with teams that mostly don't draw and don't have any national appeal. Raiders in Oakland was special.
