MLB owners have voted to allow the Athletics to move to Las Vegas, a significant step toward Oakland losing its last major men's professional sports team.
Fuck the A’s. I know a handful of people that are excited we’re getting a baseball team here, and it’s solely so they don’t have to travel to see their actual favorite team when they come to town.
The ownership group is the worst in pro sports now that Eugene Melnyk died to relinquish control of the Senators, and Dan Snyder was forced to sell the Commanders. They will never have a competitive team again. They aren’t interested in winning. They’re just interested in fielding the bare minimum team so they can make money from watching their team get futtbucked by every other team.
Whoever in Vegas government saw how they were given a sweetheart deal in Oakland and even that wasn’t enough for them and still said, “yeah let’s give them tax money!” is a fucking idiot.
And this is on top of the clusterfuck that is the F1 race in town. Locals are pretty pissed off at our tax money going to making ridiculously wealthy people more money while making our lives worse, for like the 3rd time in just a handful of years. And the A’s are just a dumpster fire. Nothing about the actual team is exciting.
