Oakland Athletics relocation to Las Vegas thread: Move to Vegas approved by MLB owners - Will play in Sacramento for 3-4 years

[IU Hawks fan]

Just sell the land to MGM and be done with it.

Welcome to the prison, I mean coliseum.

This is obviously what owners who do everything they can do.

 

[Terry Yake]

i have no doubt they purposely did this right after fanfest

petty scumbags

Speaking as one, A's fans aren't gonna let this season be easy for ownership. Lifelong fans will be at war with Fisher and Kaval.

 

[HolyGhost]

A's fans wanted the team but the owner has no clue how to run a team

[SoupNazi]

That is...something.

They will play the next few years in their temporary home the Sydney Opera house

 

[Cas]

It's hideous.

 

[John Price]

why is the screen on the f***ing roof

Good call. Australia is like infested with poisonous animals, but none as toxic as John Fisher.

 

[Terry Yake]

holy shit they are so bad at this

 

[hangman005]

why is the screen on the f***ing roof

so when people pass out from alcohol poisoning there is something to watch.

As for the building itself... I'd take it.... if it didn't come with the A's. Then again I'd take the black plague if it saved Vegas from the A's

I don't know why this made me laugh so hard but it did.

 

[Unholy Diver]

I can't see that coming in at only 1.5 billion

 

[TheGreenTBer]

I can't see that coming in at only 1.5 billion

Maybe it's $1.5 billion Fisherbucks. They're like Schrutebucks, but greedier.

this ordeal will probably drag out longer than Chinese Democracy

I kind of hope it is a cancer that sucks the life force out of Major League Baseball.

Because that's what they deserve.

They do deserve it but it won't. Short of an owner going on some racist tirade or sexually harassing employees, they are pretty much made men, guys like Fisher, Nutting, most of the Marlins owners, the last couple of Expos owners, it doesn't matter, they might get a little slap on the wrist when the MLBPA bitches about how little they spend, but it is all for show and the Commisioner/Owners will all stick together and protect each other

Oh absolutely.

It's amazing how shitty MLB owners are when they make NFL owners almost seem palatable by comparison.

Just like the other rederings, these ones are complete bullshit that will never happen.

With every passing day I doubt this move is happening more and more.

It's a new day...

Fisher is looking to sell a large portion of the Oakland A's to finance Vegas ballpark

So now that whole sell tax is gone because they’re finding a loop hole. What a bunch of shit.

Hope Fisher and Manfred get cancer and die.
