OT :
This whole concept of moving a team just wouldn’t wash in the UK. It was done once years ago and it’s still seen as sporting blasphemy. The fans are the heartbeat of sport.

This is a flawed analysis. Oakland gave Fisher what he asked for, until he kept moving the goalposts too far. Vegas is giving him peanuts compared to what Oakland was going to have to pay.

For someone in the UK this is wild. Wimbledon moving to Milton Keynes was 20 years ago and it's still a sore spot for all footballs fans.

Saying that Fisher tried to stay in Oakland is disingenuous. Those proposals never had legitimate financial plans the same way the move to LV doesn’t have a financial plan

Can’t only blame Fisher, regardless if you’re a true fan, you will show up to the games and spend money fans weren’t doing that stadium was empty what else do you expect

So the Athletics are moving again. While I think taxes paying for stadiums isn’t right it’s Oakland’s fault. Just like the rest of us lose teams Las Vegas deserves teams & can afford it.

I think for small market teams it makes some sense to implement a 50+1 rule. The communities could opt in, similar to what the Packers have, but with the possibility of investor money.
