TLDR: Jeff fisher the owner of the A’s is a greedy rat fuck and he demonstrated that at every opportunity that presented itself.
Mark Davis the owner of the raiders is “poor” comparatively to most of the other owners of sports teams with pretty much all of his wealth tied up in the raiders so unless the city completely paid for a stadium for the raiders they were never going to be able to stay.
The warriors left because they were able to completely, 100% privately fund their new stadium which is basically unheard of when it comes to new sports stadiums. They most likely wanted the most premium real estate possible for that when planning it and SF gave them that. (I don’t know all the particulars of the warriors acquisition of the land the stadium is on but I imagine it went down like that)
