spartacat_12 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 20 hours ago, McCall said: I've always thought they should have moved the Rays to Miami so that they'd get a new stadium and Miami would finally get a well-run, always-contending team. But there is no way contraction will ever happen, so they would've just been relocated. A MLB club splitting home games between Tampa Bay & Miami always seemed to make more sense than the ridiculous Montreal-Tampa shared team proposal.

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 As much as I'd hate to see them leave, it seems like the city of Oakland is and has forever been so incompetent. It might be best to move on. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't read every article, so am I missing something significant? 6 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

It might be best to move on. You call a city not spending tons of public money on billionaire playgrounds "incompetent", I call it "good sense". Besides, we've known for a while that MLB wants the A's to off to Vegas for that moolah. They're just saying they want to keep the team in Oakland because they want to appear diplomatic and turn ire against the city for not bending over backwards to appease them. Hell, I doubt Vegas even wants the A's with a publically-funded building; they just shelled out for the Raiders not too long ago, and it's not like everybody's welcoming the idea; Phil Ruffin nixed a deal that the A's were trying for. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDAWG Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 If Vegas gets the A's, the city will write a 2,000 page book and send it to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and to the other NBA owners as to why Las Vegas deserves an NBA team over anyone else once Seattle joins the league. It will go into detail as to why they deserve the 32nd NBA team over Mexico City, Louisville, Kansas City, Tampa (among others who may want to be #32 in the NBA once Seattle joins the NBA). Vegas will also bombard the voicemail of MLS Commissioner Don Garber about why they deserve to join MLS over San Diego, Phoenix, Indianapolis, Louisville, Albuquerque (among others). Las Vegas having major league sports in all five major sports leagues in the United States is inevitable, whether we like it or not. To me, Vegas should have been satisfied with the Golden Knights and then later on get an MLS team, but it seems to me that they became envious of places like Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Francisco/Bay Area and they want to collect them all. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this becomes the case, I can’t wait to see what happens when only the Knights and Raiders come close to packing the building in 10-15 years. 1 Quote Insert Signature Here? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t even deserve their NBA team The Republic were drawing big crowds in the USL and played to almost full capacity for a good number of seasons now. It was also announced in 2019, Sacramento would be joining the MLS as the 29th team, but instead Charlotte got that spot. No way should Vegas get the nod over Sacramento, who have been waiting for years. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacramento's going to continue to wait for years over Las Vegas, and anywhere else a competent ownership group with the capital to run a team can be found. As someone who's very closely followed the history of Sacramento's MLS bid I can safely say that's something they've never had, and at the rate they're going probably never will. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not. but Vegas thinks otherwise. I would like to see two of the next expansion teams being Indianapolis Eleven and San Diego Loyal anyways and then have team 32 be New Mexico United or Louisville City FC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
