I really do. It’s hard to fault someone for not wanting to go and watch a baseball game in a toilet bowl when everyone else (except Tampa) is playing in either gorgeous new parks or historic parks (except for you White Sox).

But I don’t feel a damn thing for the City of Oakland. They gaslit MLB for years with proposals they knew didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of passing. And while the idea of baseball in Vegas intrigues me, it also pissed me off that another billionaire owner is getting free money instead of having to chip in his fair share.

Whenever anyone says that college sports are getting worse, I only have think of the ownership or professional sports to know it could be worse.
