  1. Run A's! Run while you can! OAKLAND is a DUMP!

  2. Just blow up Mt. Davis already… the team can stay after that, it’s the fix.

  3. 28,000 FANS?…..pretty amazing considering the team usually gets maybe 3000 fans at regular games…….it's time for them to go somewhere that they can actually get a fan base!

  4. The A's fans in Oakland. Need to do a reverse boycott. Once or twice a week. To everyone's attention. That might help them reject the deal or moving the team.

  5. It isn't going to make a difference. They are selling and moving to Vegas. Just because fans show up for one game doesn't mean they are going to be profitable. Say goodbye to them Oakland….color them gone. #vegasbound

  6. I think the simpsons prediction it.

  7. Vegas for losers? So why so many Californians moving here?

  8. Blame the mayor of oakland. She is not a sport fan.

  9. Who cares about sports. "FANS" never been a 'fan'. lol

  10. I assume that the team owners are planning to return all of the tax breaks and subsidies that the city of Oakland has given them over the last five decades.

  11. It's time to leave that dump…

  12. The Spanos family moved my Charges to LA after 50 years in SD. I feel for A's fans and what it is to have your team owned by a cheap owner.

  13. You cant blame anyone or any company for leaving woke California

  14. Why did we ever socialize building baseball stadiums? Capitalism for us, socialism for corporations. It should be illegal to "subsidize" private enterprise.

  15. This gives off a Supporters against European Super League vibes

  16. Na Na NA Hey Hey Hey Good Bye To Oakland A’s! Hello to Las Vegas✅.

  17. The Las Vegas A's? It sounds like they were really close to making something good happen. There seems like a good chance it'll work out in the end and future.

  18. Tragic. Oakland, a city of the working class losing out to megaconglomerate gambling tychoons.

  19. The team belongs to the shareholders, the fans are customers. The owners may and should move their sporting company wherever it makes more $
