The Oakland Athletics’ fight continues. The blows keep coming and owner John Fisher seems unable to fight them off. July has ended and more than half of the regular season is over. Now, the brutal truth is unavoidable – the A’s are the worst MLB team. Not only is their payroll the lowest in the league, but the Coliseum’s attendance rate has also gone downward. And the innocent fans have had enough.

Fisher is determined to move the A’s to Las Vegas, taking the last of Oakland’s major sports teams with him. Fans have been vehemently protesting with no noticeable results. Now, they’re asking for help from other franchises.
