I'm pretty much done with the situation. It's been pretty shocking to see them tear the heart out of the team to artificially do anything they can to move the team.
Don't know if I can find any other team that I could follow. So many reasons against pretty much any other team.

Oakland Ballers are a new team playing in the independent leagues.
Reminds me a bit of some other grass roots teams that have formed in England after relocating...
Playing at Allegiance stadium would be ironic. Not really sure they Raiders would be keen to share seeing they moved to get away from a baseball stadium. Plus I don't think the surface/stands would allow it
I listened to the ESPN daily podcast about it. Really insightful.
Biggest gap is where will the team play before there move to Vegas? Can see Oakland saying no to sticking springs for a few years.
Reverse boycott was held yesterday with 27k coming along, on the same day that Nevada passed a key bill supporting the stadium.
A 2-1 win over the best team in baseball now has move the As to the 2nd worst team behind Kansas City...
Since this aired a few weeks ago the As have been the hottest team in the MLB with a 7 game winning streak (just like in Major League the movie), but have only improved to 19-50. 😔
I'm genuinely shocked when I get a notification of a win after such a terrible start to the year. The roster had been questionable for many seasons, but would often find a way to compete... But it looks like they desperately want to leave Oakland with no regrets of losing a competitive team -...
A bit more on the stadium piece. Feels like watching a bad version of "Major League"

Crazy! Their slump is as impressive as the A's turnaround. From a 0-6 then a 1-7 start to the best record in the league. It's really competitive this season - heaps of teams in the mix.
For sure. Outside of the Dodgers running away from the field it's all very competitive.
Worst records in the AL is 6-11, and 6-12 in the NL. Pretty much every team is in contention if the get a few wins.
After starting the season 0-6, Oakland now lead the AL West with an 12-7 record and a 11 game winning streak.
Today's game against the Twins was utter madness. 13-12 win in 10.
Twins hit a 2 run homer in the 10th to take the lead, Oakland load the bases with 2 outs, grounder to 2nd gets...
