Everyone who blames Oakland for losing the 3 teams are ignorant. There were several situations where multiple teams would've remained in Oakland. The NFL wanted the 49ers and Raiders to share a stadium and the original proposed location was the Coliseum. If that happened Oakland would have 2 NFL teams. The Niners liked the idea, but Al Davis never wanted to share a stadium, but also never wanted to pay for a stadium. The dual stadium would've also forced the A's to build a new ballpark. The 49ers, NFL, and MLB said they would work with the A's to relocate on the Coliseum property or elsewhere in the East Bay. 2nd Joe Lacob offered to buy the A's with owning both the A's and Warriors he may have bought the Coliseum land and developed that to have all his teams in one location vs developing the Salesforce land across the Bay. 3rd the A's bought the land at the Coliseum as a "safety net" if Howard Terminal fell through. The Raiders wanted to develop on that land, but the A's wouldn't let them. So, ultimately you can blame John Fisher for moving the the Raiders out too.

Congratulations Oakland on getting free of take advantage company owners.

[@mikelfrance-l6x]

The City and County did not care about these people. 30 years of neglect led to this place being disfunctional and run down.

[@GuillermoSanchez-jr6mp]

You’re ignorant on the topic.

[@mikelfrance-l6x]

@@GuillermoSanchez-jr6mp No, I'm telling you the truth. Go back and look at Brodie Brazil's video of 2 years ago about why the Coliseum failed. If I'm ignorant, so his he.

Welcome to West Sacramento my hometown A’s

[@gregpaspatis9425]

They won't be having in any divisional standings "West Sacramento" only the "Athletics", lol.

[@swissbeats2k]

They'll be back in Oakland once the MLB forces Fisher to sell.

[@Victor-it6bv]

They should move to Sacramento. Lower cost of living and less crime.😊

[@bigfishy7816]

Oh to bad so sad , now just an average Californian on unemployment!

[@frank716]

No professional teams anymore in Oakland is it correct?

[@MelachiDubNation2531]

We still have the Oakland Bs, a minor league baseball team

[@adamjrothstein]

Yes. Oakland lost one sports team for each of the big four leagues. They lost the Warriors, the Athletics, the Raiders, and the Seals/Golden Seals.

[@HanginInSF]

The problem with Oakland is you have 85% of the population wrecking it for everyone!

Governor Newsom’s California Dream. Sad.

[@USA92]

No they dont. Their future is clear. No longer employed by the company. No future employment with the company. That's it.

[@GH-zh8zg]

Oakland let this happen to itself. Look at the Hegenberger corridor. Thank Newsom, Schaff, Gascon, Price and their supporters for making this all possible. Vote for Kamala and the entire country will look like this.

[@frank716]

Obamala😂

[@BuckieBoy-l2r]

That’s the plan.

[@kw9377]

That’s what they want. Chaos and everyone depends on govt. “u own nothing and you will be happy “

[@GuillermoSanchez-jr6mp]

You’re a 🤡 and wrong

[@apwkastmaster2096]

Called unemployment that's the future. Screw LV

[@victorsuarez3546]
