Didn't the A's and LV city council promise 30 years of sellouts when getting that stadium approved?

Packed 8,519 last night in a place with capacity of 10k

Way to create a buzz, assholes

The U.S. World Cup in one horrible photo:

[Neal 🇦🇺 @NealGardner_]

You’re hosting the biggest global sporting event in the world. If you don’t want people from all parts of the world entering the country, don’t bid for the WORLD CUP.

🤦‍♂️

FIFA crisis….the union which represents more than 2,000 workers at SoFi Stadium has voted 96 per cent in favor of authorizing a strike - one week before the U.S. men’s national team open their World Cup campaign at the venue.

Got an email today from the @Athletics begging people to buy tickets to their Las Vegas games. Still haven’t sold their tickets to a minor league ballpark in their future home city yet. 🤣🤣🤣

Sorry Prince Charles. When the UK calls itself “His Majesty’s Government”, they’re referring to Benjamin Netanyahu:

Hell yea! Let's fucking gooooo.

[Captn 🇵🇸 @CaptnGuardiola]

Neuer & Germany NT were so vocal abt human rights abuses in Qatar WC. I’m sure they'll be equally loud now in the USA abt ICE & the migrant concentration camps, police brutality, arming & funding a genocide, bombing schoolgirls abroad, kidnapping/killing foreign heads of state.

Every story about the A’s and Bally’s should be accompanied by the Benny Hill theme. https://t.co/yy80j7YsnN

Hasta el 70% de las habitaciones reservadas por la FIFA en Boston, Dallas, Los Ángeles, Filadelfia y Seattle han sido canceladas, informó la Asociación de hoteles de EUA.

This really could have been Uptown Oakland, but Steve Schott only wanted Santa Clara

[Briahna Joy Gray @briebriejoy]

It's literally bonkers that it's taken a Democrat this long to say this.

[(Un)Rooted In Oakland @OaklandRooted]

@Kylethemediocre How could one willingly support barring Oakland from ever having another MLB team? Especially after Oakland wasn’t even given a fair chance? What about the Kings when that nearly became reality?

[The San Francisco Standard @sfstandard]

There’s not the same appeal to Giants-A’s anymore because the A’s aren’t the A’s that we knew.

🇩🇪What happened to German legal scholars who once contributed to develop int’l law? Where are the think tanks/foundations that once drove debates on justice?
Fellow Germans: please wake up and help face the crisis your country is helping to shape at the heart of Europe. Again.

[Casey Pratt @CaseyAPratt]

Rivalry? The A’s are playing a home game in the Giants’ own Triple-A park. The Giants even had a FanFest there this year. The rivalry is dead and buried and the Giants are holding the shovel. 💀

[Jacobin @jacobin]

Germany has started stripping people of their citizenship based on pro-Palestine social media posts.

A moral panic about minorities’ sympathies for Hamas is being used to chill free speech and establish a second-class citizenship: https://t.co/d4rLNyeplp

[(Un)Rooted In Oakland @OaklandRooted]

Maybe when the world wakes up and realizes there’s reportedly still an over $1 BILLION funding gap tied to the Las Vegas stadium project, Oakland should already be ten steps ahead.

Aggressively pursue federal infrastructure grants NOW.
Build redevelopment momentum NOW.
Prepare the Coliseum area NOW.
Line up investors NOW.

Oakland fans and the city itself did not fail baseball. Ownership failed Oakland.

Oakland is a MAJOR LEAGUE CITY! ‼️

[(Un)Rooted In Oakland @OaklandRooted]

"I'd just pay for it all privately like I did with the Warriors," he said to Shea.

It’s time John Fisher sells the team to someone in the Bay Area who is open to financing their own stadium, rather than relying on public handouts.
