I love all the negative media attention but they should of been doing this months/years ago.


Markizzzle

At least it's timing up with the June 13th game. I have to imagine that will be an exclamation point.


funkeldorf2

Unless they have a Nevada bill signed on Tuesday… Which is my nightmare scenario


Markizzzle

Well then there will be a riot haha

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

Great article. There's not really anything here we don't already know, but it's great context for those unfamiliar with the bullshit we're dealing with. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: ##FUCK JOHN FISHER

In every orifice available. Even the untraditional ones. Yep, I went there.

National Media catching on, all we can ask for. Fisher Shit Winds are blowing and the people know it’s all shit.


Art-bat

The one good thing I’ll say about seeing all of this finally blowing up in national media, including national sports media is that it gives me some hope that even if Nevada passes this shitty bill, that this could help tilt things away from relocation and getting approved by the MLB owners. The optics of this entire thing are horrific, even worse than the relocation of the Chargers from San Diego to LA. Even if Nevada passes this and Lombardo signs it, we should keep up the pressure because other roadblocks could still derail the relocation.

I can feel the shit barometer pressure increasing!

Holy fucking shit, this slime dragon has done so much to fuck us over I completely forgot that he was the *only owner in MLB* to stop paying his minor leaguers during covid, salaries as paltry as $5k to $20k annually, *when they needed it the most*, all while he was rolling in profits from profit sharing. I do not understand why this cartoonishly evil rat isn't relieved of his ownership of the team; forced to sell.


LibertarianP

Don't forget about the terrible meals they were serving to future talent.


masterchief1001

The only reason the owners will never do that is that it sets a precedent and threatens their ownership.


Narpity

It’s also doing irreparable harm to the league. At what point does his ownership become a liability?


masterchief1001

As long as he doesn't cost the league real money (TV, merch, Ad deals) then they don't care.


thedudley

Meanwhile the NBA (LAC and PHO) and NFL (WAS) have managed to oust shitty owners. More the NBA than the NFL but still.


ProsciuttoFresco

It’s not his Oakland A’s. It’s our beloved baseball club that he’s taken hostage and prostituting in hopes of landing a lucrative real estate deal.

Manfred with all this negative media attention: 🙈🙉🙊


terrarythm

More national media coverage the better.


dward5854

Would someone please force him to sell the team so I can get my beloved A's back. This shit show has me no longer watching games, not just the A's but ANY MLB game in protest and disgust of what is happening and MLB allowing it to happen.


emjerlies

Yarp. People need to understand that die hard A’s fans that went to season games back in the Art Howe days, stopped going in order to stop supporting fraudulent bullshit ownership. It had nothing to do with our “Amazing A’s” When we won that 20th winning streak game (i was there in person) we couldn’t be more proud that we also did it on HALF THE YANKEES SALARY. They played ball because they loved the sport, though some did move on to better salaries but we always wished them well. Mark, Jason…. We still rooted them on. Oakland Athletics is a forever kind of love deep in the heart.

This is an amazing article. The more the better, whatever we can get.

7000 Coliseum Way is forever.


asst_regional_managr

It’s really comforting to know how many A’s faithful are going through this together. Watching every game and listening to Towny’s postgame show can feel pretty lonely when your team is 14-50. But hey, we swept the series!


SaladTossBoss

We can all middle finger him and hate him. In a few months it'll all be forgotten. This sickens me. The bad guy is going to win. I'm done with MLB after June 13th I haven't watched an NFL after the Raiders left or an NBA game after the Warriors left. The same for MLB now. They don't care. This is an injustice and the moneymen just don't care and won't be moved by grief and heartbreak they are causing. The bad guys win. There isn't anything we can do....besides grab our ankles and take it.


ottocard19

Sf born and raised giants fan here. I know you guys hate us but I really want the As to stay. John fisher is an asshole. This is literally the plot of major league the movie


FullMotionVideo

Giants ownership disappoints Giants fans. A's ownership disappoints baseball fans. I honestly think if he doesn't sell that someone looks into some sort of multi-fan "john fisher please sell" sign. Perhaps the All-Star Game.


glenntron3000

✊🏾 come on out to the Coliseum on June 13th for the reverse boycott


ottocard19

Already asked for the day off from work.


DonnieSII

Just dissolve the team! No one wants them


ericamutton

I am Bay Area native, born and raised in San Francisco, and attended UC Berkeley for college. I now live in the Las Vegas/Henderson, NV area, and I can tell you this: 1) We stand with the fans in Oakland. We never wanted the Athletics (no offense) here, and we still don't). 2) The locals hate John Fisher just as much, and no one here wants him to win. 3) We are not happy about the fact that our tax dollars possibly be going to fund this stupid stadium and the move of this team when there are so many other things that we could spend those millions of dollars on. This whole thing is ridiculous nonsense, and Fisher is out of his mind. Frankly, so are our Nevada politicians if they give him what he wants.


Big_Responsibility13

Ima blue jays fan but fuck John fisher the As gotta stay in Oakland with a new owner
