Oakland A's owner John Fisher starved the team, got rid of its best players and turned them into the worst team in baseball. Now he wants to move them to Las Vegas
As an A.L. west fan (Seattle) who attends a lot of games, the Oakland A's deserve so much better. Their history is extraordinary and the city is so beleaguered--what a gift it would be to give Oakland what it so very much wants, needs and deserves.
What an upsetting story. Are there no civic leaders able to put together a local syndicate to buy the team from the soulless Fisher? What joy can there be in owning a home team if there is no sense of home?

It's terrible. And probably inevitable now. There are of course far more dire tragedies and wrongs in the world right now but it's really unfortunate.

Exactly. This guy is exactly what you say: soulless. A hollow man, to borrow from TS Eliot.
