I feel like every team is leaving Oakland now, but, why?
In: Other
The people of Oakland have realized that the billions they would have to pay to keep the teams do not come back to the city. The whole thing is a scam to shift the financial burden from Billionaire owners to taxpayers. They will claim the investment will pay off in tangential business growth, but studies have shown that is bullshit. Other cities are starting to follow suit. Kansas city voters rejected a similar proposal recently from Chiefs ownership. As an Oakland native and life long A’s fan, I am proud of the city for standing up to what was essentially blackmail.
