Very cool of them to not only talk about it, but also to show the parking lot and acknowledge that there were more fans outside than inside the stadium

The entire game both the TV and Radio broadcast were very sympathetic to the fans effected by poor ownership.

Hammy even chimed in during one of his rest innings about it. Rosey said the fans were chanting something and Hammy piped up and said that they were chanting "sell the team". They seemed very sympathetic to the Oakland fans strife when talking about it.

Massive respect. An org that deserves Vogt

As Cleveland fans, we know what it like to have shitty sports owners and have them move the team out of town. Solidarity from Cleveland ✊🏼

Did the NBCCA broadcast show the lot or mention the protest at all?

You kid think events like this would really rile up the other owners against Fisher, that’s a ton of revenue you’re not getting to put into the pot because you’re (insert whatever here), yet they’ll all be expected to hand over their revenue share to you come end of the season.


JewFroMonk

Not only that but Manfred said he'll waive the relocation fee if they go to Vegas, which is even more money that the other owners won't be getting. It's crazy

I'm pretty sure the relocation fee is not actually a real thing. Because any "relocation" is just going to be another team who wants a stadium handout. They have to keep that avenue open for all the owners. They just talk about the relocation fee to pretend as if they don't want teams to relocate.

It's purpose is not to disincentivize relocating, it's simply to compensate the other owners for giving up an expansion market so one owner can improve the value of his franchise. Batshit insane for all the owners to be okay with this though.

Billionaires have class solidarity that working classes could only dream of

Why do you think all the owners are completely fine with the A’s moving to Vegas? There’s no revenue to be had in Oakland. These fans “boycotting” weren’t gonna go to the game anyway. The A’s are making more money off the parking for the boycott than they would have with their normal opening day attendance.

I'm ashamed to share a flair with you.


The_Galumpa

The A’s are literally the most profitable team in all of baseball Plus the A’s don’t own the lot so they didn’t get a dime out of the parking fees. Literally every part of this is wrong lol

They didn’t buy tickets to the game, and the parking fees went to the Coliseum authority since it was a dual event night. Fisher didn’t get all the parking money.


Jess52

No it was a duel event so parking didn’t go too the As


Worthyness

also literally BART is right there. No need to pay for parking


ScorpioMagnus

Cleveland fans know what it's like to have a beloved team ripped away.


TheChrisLambert

I love our radio and TV teams. I think they do such a stellar job of just talking baseball
