@barrymc0ckner @jtlope @circusbass @EduOverStadiums Once the city of Oakland kicks him to the curb, #JohnFisher will lose $67MM+ in annual TV revenue he has been receiving in Oakland & that he really can’t afford to lose right now. I’m sure he can make wine from water elsewhere…god speed.
@serenity67 @barrymc0ckner @circusbass @EduOverStadiums City of Oakland can’t get out of its own way lol. Oakland government is an embarrassing, shameful display of ineptness. With what the A’s will make in revenue being in Vegas, any short term loss will be dealt with.
@jtlope @barrymc0ckner @circusbass @EduOverStadiums I hope you care about more than revenue for the owner, because no matter how much revenue #Athletics owner #JohnFisher brings in, he will pocket the profit and WILL NOT meaningfully reinvest into team payroll. Ever. A leopard can’t change their spots..
@serenity67 @jtlope @circusbass @EduOverStadiums I don’t agree with your characterization of Fisher. I think he was dealt a tough hand in a very fickle market in Oakland with a dilapidated stadium and very challenging prospects to build a new one. I highly doubt the profitability from his tenure with the A’s was very strong.
@serenity67 @jtlope @circusbass @EduOverStadiums The Giants are suited to fill the void perfectly well. They have plenty of open seats for the regular season. Oakland and surrounding area demographics and culture has shifted, I don’t think it needs 2 NFL, NBA, NHL or MLB teams. LV is a more viable location than 2 in the bay
@barrymc0ckner @jtlope @circusbass @EduOverStadiums Don’t be an as.shole
@serenity67 @jtlope @circusbass @EduOverStadiums I think what I said is perfectly reasonable. I happen to know that many former raiders fans are now 49er fans already. Most of the new generations are by default. Give it some time. SF is 10 miles away and the Giants have one of the best parks in pro sports.

@barrymc0ckner @jtlope @circusbass @EduOverStadiums You’re treading on a block.
@serenity67 @barrymc0ckner @circusbass @EduOverStadiums If you are allergic to facts, shouldn’t get personal.
@jtlope @barrymc0ckner @circusbass @EduOverStadiums You don’t tell fans grieving the loss of their 56 year franchise to basically get over it & embrace the team who’s owner spent years and a lot of effort towards strangling the #Athletics in an effort to drive them from the market. You don’t do it.
@serenity67 @jtlope @circusbass @EduOverStadiums Well again I am sorry for being blunt. My contention is the A’s won an awful lot and turnover was still not great. I think the Oakland exit was near inevitable due to the disfunction in local government and the fact that the MLB didn’t see 2 teams in the market as optimal
