What a COWARDLY way of dealing with this? No video/audio of the conversation? It's his team but have more respect for the fans.

People will be able to read his body language. Once he gets asked a question he knows Raj will keep asking him more. He knows he's a piece of shit.

As an A's fan, sports history has showed us that it ain't over till it's over. Giants were right on the very edge to moving to Florida and then stayed in San Francisco. The Sacramento Kings were about to relocate to Seattle until ultimately staying in Sacramento. A lot of people thinks its a done deal but we will see. What I will say is that once those shovels hit the ground in Vegas (if they do hit the ground), I will no longer be an A's fan and I will no longer follow MLB. As an A's fan I am just holding onto every single ounce of hope

@harleylawdude 9 месяцев назад

That's what we said about the Raiders. It took a Willie Brown, Jr. to save the Giants and get the new stadium. Oakland has no Willie Brown, Jr.

@halomo81 9 месяцев назад

Stop using the Giants as an excuse the scenario was completely different from the A’s the owner of the Giants was actually trying to sell the team and had the offer from the Tampa Group

@fantasticvoyage262 6 месяцев назад

Did you dump the Raiders too?

@gillroygarlic3616 5 месяцев назад

Although the As owners is a huge joke. The city of Oakland is absolutely in the gutter in terms of leadership. They lost the Raiders, Warriors and As. Within a decade because they absolutely refused to budge on their stance of paying. I’m a diehard sf fan (9ers; warriors, giants, sharks) but the raiders/as belong in Oakland

After losing the Raiders, you would think that every last string would have been pulled to not lose the A's also. They don't necessarily need to be in Oakland, but I can't believe Gov. Newsom and others can't find another suitable area for the A's. You can't let this happen. The Owners must VOTE NO on the A's relocation to Las Vegas. P.S. - Many Las Vegas residents do not want the A's there. It's already "California East" with the rising housing prices. This will only make it worse. #StayInCalifornia

@mikel2343 9 месяцев назад

I was very disappointed with the interview. Raj has the golden opportunity to interview Fisher and just lobs him softballs without any intense follow-up questions. Raj proclaims himself as an A's fan that is hurt by the A's potential move and yet, settles on the answers he is given...Fisher continues his campaign on lying to the fans and nobody is willing to hold him accountable when they have the chance.

@eastbayarearesident3631 2 месяца назад

Oakland is the most integrated city in America. We celebrate diversity in this country because time after time, it is our diversity that has saved us from the rest of the world. Look at the Manhatten Project. What if all of those Jewish (and other) phycisists didn't come to America? Have you ever heard of the Ashkanazi mind? The highest IQs in the world.
