As you can imagine, currently, the discontent around the case of the A’s of Oakland is enormous. For what? Because everything is wrong.
As much on the ground as on the second floor, it is a rout.
Among the customers dissatisfied with the fate reserved for the A’s, there is Reggie Jackson. The club legend doesn’t understand what happened.
Anyone who’s ever wanted to buy the A’s in the past doesn’t hesitate to blame the townspeople of Oakland for the fate of the ball club.
Why blame the city?
Because he sees what happened with the Warriors (who left for San Francisco) and with the Raiders (who left for Vegas) and he doesn’t understand how history can repeat itself AGAIN.
The city, I thought, had to do something to save the A’s.
You lost the Warriors and the Raiders. What’s your problem? Didn’t you see it coming?
– Reggie Jackson
In his eyes, the city therefore did not do the job and had to understand the importance of the A’s for the people who live in Oakland.
So he refuses to blame the owner of the A’s (John Fisher), which is the reverse of what many people have been doing for years now.
For example? Mark Davis hasn’t been shy about hitting on the A’s leadership and ownership group in the past few days.
Davis is the owner of the Vegas Raiders who never managed to agree with the A’s in terms of a common stadium.
So there’s animosity in the air, but the Raiders’ owner is clear: All the A’s did was fool the people of the Bay Area.
He did not hesitate to hit a club already on the ground.
The A’s will likely be looking for a stadium to play in by 2027, when a potential stadium is scheduled to open in Vegas, and let’s just say it would be amazing to see them get help from the Raiders.
In short, things are bad in Oakland. But you already knew that.
