@SMPLonnie @Dsmoke34 @NikkofromtheBay The Elected Officials are complacent in all of this.Look at the narratives. Saving face at the expense of the Community. Remember, they were trying to convince that “The Ballers” were the real thing (as a replacement for the A’s), and look how their players are being treated.
@SMPLonnie @Dsmoke34 @NikkofromtheBay And let’s not forget this. Promised $63 Million dollars within weeks to help Budget…NO. $5 million …then $1.5 million…then $10 million…then what? Again…false promises. Also remember…they “matched” Dave Stewart’s offer 3 years ago-…$120 Million. NOW…$105 Million?
@SMPLonnie @Dsmoke34 @NikkofromtheBay It’s a sad State of Affairs for the City to be “fooled and tricked” once again from a group who has proven (for the past 3 years) that they can’t deliver anything but false promises. We have “receipts”. Black Owned NFL Team…NO. New WNBA team…No. Signed Agreement (A’s)…NO.
@CraigChamberlin@CollinRugg Get real. This has NOTHING to do with Party Lines. Tie Mayor (and at least 3 Members of the Council) have been running “back door” corruption since they supported Sheng Thao. Connect the dots. Both Sheng and her boyfriend (Andre) served as Chief of Staff for Rebecca. Do the math
@TheNotoriousVJL @CaseyPrattABC7 @abc7newsbayarea@MayorShengThao And the common thread is the “City Officials” with all 3 Franchises. So who’s really at fault? All three franchises (we have to see about the A’s), have prospered in other areas, as well as the surrounding restaurants, businesses, and neighborhoods. Chase, Las Vegas
@CameraMarty @CaseyPrattABC7 @MayorShengThao Exactly. They (City Officials) continue to manipulate the narrative. Question: if you were paying 1.7 million a year to lease the Coliseum to play, and were told that you need to now pay 20 million a year (even if you leave), would you? Please!!! Who negotiated that crap?
@SMPLonnie @CaseyPrattABC7 @linusalf@As_Fan_Radio What’s even more interesting is that after the announcement of the WNBA (Warriors), and lawsuits within AASEG, Rebecca and Sheng are silent…like crickets!!!
@SMPLonnie@FOS It becomes Public Record!!! It re-lives their biggest nightmares. No deal on the Coliseum site (no NFL, no NBA, no WNBA, no partnership with the co-owners (the A’s), and no end in sight. !!!
So what’s next. Do the words,
“We told you so”, mean ANYTHING?
@SMPLonnie@FOS Oh wait…didn’t they get a WNBA Team….NOT!!! Another false promise on deliverables. And they were told that it wasn’t going to happen. Penny wise….Pound foolish!!!
@SMPLonnie@FOS It’s nice to see Dave Stewart getting closer to an expansion MLB Team in Nashville. Oh, wait, wasn’t Dave Stewart (local and homegrown) serious and able to purchase the Coliseum property? Wow, would have made a nice MLB Expansion Team.
@SMPLonnie@FOS So, Stephen A. Smith said it best on First Take. When you lose 3 Sports Franchises (Raiders, Warriors, A’s) in 5 years, there’s is something wrong in Elected Official Leadership. Stop blaming ownership, and re-evaluate your decisions and detrimental public comments.
@SMPLonnie@AASEGOakland Agreed….this saga continues. Here’s another question….How do you commit to using the Oakland Coliseum Arena for a WNBA team when the 50% owner (A”s) won’t even consider a partnership on tge site with AASEG?
@Dsmoke34 @CaseyPrattABC7 @Alanabeard20@AASEGOakland And if that wasn’t enough warning (WNBA announcement), didn’t the A’s forewarn the Council that they would ONLY sell their interest to Dave Stewart’s group (if things didn’t work out)? Wow!!!!
@Dsmoke34 @CaseyPrattABC7 @Alanabeard20@AASEGOakland Here’s the interesting part. Dave Stewart’s team told the Council (after meeting with the WNBA), that the Warriors were not giving up their rights to a WNBA franchise. Lesson learned.
