@gamer_athletics Oh he's hurt? Well boo fucking hoo... I think a lot more people will be hurt if they move and tear generations of memories away from a community.
I won’t stop fighting to keep the A’s rooted in Oakland—even if it means taking a swing and flying to Seattle! We are still ready to play ball to ensure the @Athletics remain #RootedInOakland

@OaklandRooted@As_Fan_Radio@AnnaRaeH408 Every ball park the A’s enter should become…. Maybe not hostile territory.
But hostile territory for John Fisher.
He should never feel comfortable stepping foot in ANY stadium to watch the A’s.
Sell shirts should haunt this team like the god damn ghost of baseball past.
I wrote about the A's for the @ringer. I tried to get it all, from the spitefulness of what's been perpetrated against A's fans (and Oakland), to the history-making way those fans fought back. Sorry it's so long—blame John Fisher. #SellTheTeam#Athletics

Fans promoted this (not the A’s)
27K+ in attendance
Fans chanted together.
Fans still coming as the 6th inning
A lot more fans stuck in traffic trying to get in.
We Oakland fans filled that stadium not ownership.
Listen to the difference between the deafening (planned) silence to the eruption of “Sell the Team” chants.
ONLY in Oakland.
#Athletics#RootedInOakland#OAKtogether
As planned A's fans were standing and silent during the first batter of the fifth inning
They then broke into "sell the team" chants so loud that the pitcher thought his earpiece was broken
An A's ballpark in Las Vegas would literally be like nothing else.

- 9 acre footprint (2nd smallest)
- 40th media market (smallest)
- 30% tourist target attendance
