Oakland A’s moving to Vegas

200,000 net loss per year. Factor in 300,000 homeless moving in leaves a net 500,000 tax payers leaving a year.

Just think of the State taxes an MLB club will be taking to Nevada. Makes me warm and fuzzy.

Fitting.
Because they suck.
As someone who used to go to 81 Angel games a year, I haven’t been to an MLB game in decades and I’ll never go again I reckon.

All that history. Wow. Sad really.

Not really…

They started as the Philadelphia Athletics and then played in Kansas City and then Oakland, so they are like the Atlanta Braves and move a lot.

He’s actually been on local tv a lot, National a number of times. They use a scoreboard monkey after we left.

The reality is that Chinese are buying up California property to keep the ChiCom government from grabbing it. They’re now starting to that in Texas.

The As are whores and move whenever they can profit

Can’t blame them on this one.

Oakland is a horrible place for a sports team.

I wish they had moved to Montreal, Portland or San Antonio instead but alas they went to Sin City Vegas…

Who can attract talent to live in a third world shithole?

Oakland is a shithole that is a reality but many would play in L.A., San Diego and San Francisco when it comes to sports.

Hell, when I played Baseball I would have wanted to play in San Diego but that dream never came true.

Your figures are off, way off. It was Oakland not wanting to finance a stadium not state taxes, you goof, that sent the Raiders to funtown.
