So what are they gonna say? How are the announcers going to handle this? Is someone going to say " today we have the LA Dodgers versus the who the fuck knows where they're from A's"?

Boooooo!

Also, as someone who grew up watching the A's, fuck you John Fisher.

The Oakland sports situation has been a circus since the 80s, I remember a guy back then with a t-shirt that said:

~~Oakland~~
~~Los Angeles~~
El Segundo
R A I D E R S

You guys deserve so much better.

We really need to move towards community ownership of sports teams. These con artists have been given free reign and public subsidies for far too long.
