The Oakland Athletics fans had been severely frustrated with the team?s owner, John Fisher, for quite some time. This led to a record-setting drop in the number of fans coming to the Coliseum to support the Athletics. Which in turn led the owner to decide moving the team from Oakland to Las Vegas. And with the latest $380 million news coming forward, it looks like the A?s loyal fans are in for a heartbreak.
After a steep drop in attendance, the Athletics fanbase started the reverse boycott movement to take a stand against the owner. However, it may finally be too late now as this 60-year-old shares an old video of Stephen Curry to reminisce about the good old days.
