Not going to mince words: If you’re still rooting for this joke of an organization that treated you like shit for years and then abandoned you, well, then you can go fuck yourself.
Fuck John Fisher, fuck the @Athletics, and fuck anyone that supports this bullshit.

It’s all in the details.

@uprootedoakland @ChrisCaray Please get rid of Jenny. Just an awful commentator. Nothing to do with her being female, I don’t care about that, she’s just not good.
English

Also, @ChrisCaray caps off an excellent debut in the booth for the green and gold. He makes this call like he's been the A's play-by-play guy for years. #Athletics

@CaseyPrattABC7 A’s fan from New Zealand here, I’ve been to the Coliseum and I love the place, don’t care that it’s falling apart it’s just fun to see the team play. I’m really sorry for what is happening there, the Oakland fans deserve better.

A lot of people seem to be writing off Vegas lately. I'm honestly not there yet. I still think it happens. But nothing in this process surprises me anymore.

My latest hot take theory: -Vegas ballpark plan falls apart. -Fisher gets A's to Sac, sells partial stake to Vivek/Kings to finance ballpark. -A's rebrand to something like 'California Athletics' (Northern California Athletics? etc?) in hopes of keeping broader NorCal fans.

@NBCSAthletics Please send that commentator down to the minors. Just. Awful.

Crazy seeing all these “baseball fans” making this relocation about fans and/or cities.
It takes away from the reality that MLB and these billionaire owners are simply extorting communities and viewing fans as being expendable.
Think this can’t happen to your team? If it’s happening to the back to back SB winning Chiefs, it can happen to yours.
Most of these people are trolls and simply just miserable but for the ones that actually love the game, what’s actually wrong with you?
The entire national media is rightfully dragging the very bozo’s that are responsible for all this. But yet you have people still choosing to remain ignorant.
Just wild…oh and F*ck John Fisher!

@LastDiveBar Sad. Unfortunately the wealthy don’t factor in regular people in their decisions. Best wishes to anyone affected, I hope you find work straight away.

@WallStreetApes @TheMikeDowd @TheMikeDowd would you please follow me? I’m keen to pick your brains with a couple of questions:)

🚨 Canada Effective April 1st 2024: NEW Continuing Care Regulation “Moving to 0 hours of care”
Caregiver in tears: “So that means in a continuing care home, someone can be left for a week sitting in their own fecal matter and that's just okay now because it is now not the nurse's job to actually care for their patient.”
“New rules do not prescribe how many hours of care residents of a facility should receive.”
“The vulnerable in our world are supposed to be taken care of, and now the government is making it so that isn't even a thing anymore. We're going back in f****** time instead of forward, and I'm just baffled by this.
How can you go to school and become a nurse and not give a **** about the people you're taking care of. There's already so many terrible nurses in the medical industry that try to get away with doing the bare minimum so that they keep their job. And now the government is telling them, you don't even have to do the bare minimum to keep your f***** job. It is now lawfully backed that you do what? The fuck is the point of a care home and a continuing care facility if they're not going to have assistance.
This is f***** wild. Basically, now what this means is if you have not set yourself up for retirement, which the majority of the population has not because who are we f****** kidding? In this day and age, it's hard enough to put milk and eggs in everyone's fridges. It means that you're not gonna it's not funded. You're not gonna get the help that you need.
You're not gonna have the products you need. You're not gonna have the care you need. They literally sent a patient who had a stroke to recover alone in a hospital or sorry, in a hotel in Leduc. Someone who had a stroke was sent to recover alone in a hotel in Leduc. I give up on this world.
I didn't think it could get worse.”
More information:
“Care standards at continuing care facilities to be eliminated, say nurses and NDP - New Continuing Care Act Regulations coming into effect April 1”
Alberta’s nurses warn that new provincial regulations will eliminate any legal requirement for continuing care operators to provide nursing care to residents.
Last month, the province published a new Continuing Care Act Regulations that are supposed to take effect on April 1. The regulations do not mention a minimum number of required hours of nursing care.
“We are moving to zero hours of care. This is extremely dangerous,” said Heather Smith, United Nurses of Alberta president, in a statement.
Smith said while that was clearly inadequate, at least there was a minimum legal standard.”
United Nurses of Alberta Says “New regulations eliminate all nursing care requirements for residents of continuing care homes in Alberta”

@NBCSAthletics @jennycavnar @DALLASBRADEN209 No offence but any chance of removing the new commentator? Just awful. Why can the A’s organisation never read the room?

@CaseyPrattABC7 It’s a shame that this is happening but the LV A’s will eventually develop a new fan base. Vegas locals can say that they won’t support it but eventually they will. They have NFL, NHL, F1 and now MLB. That’s pretty impressive.

Manfred’s continuous disrespect for Oakland fans will turn off this market completely. A’s fans know better. Not gonna help pack the Las Vegas stadium which will rely on the tourism of said fans whose intelligence he’s insulting. Great business leader. #MLB

@EastBay_Sports @MayorShengThao I’d be amazed if he took her call. He has an agenda and it ain’t Oakland unfortunately.
English

I still think @MayorShengThao should pick up the phone and call Rob Manfred. JUST CALL MAYOR!
English

@26DrDeath I totally agree but if we’ve learned anything from the past few weeks it’s that MLB does not care about the fans even though the fans pay for MLB. It’s a sad situation.
English

@CaseyPrattABC7 @DavidPSamson As much as I hate it. Anything from this point on is just bias rhetoric. It’s done and it’s sad. Teams don’t move often but when they do it’s traumatic for the fans and for the ancillary media and employees. The entire thing sucks. Let them go.

Tuesday: @DavidPSamson and I join forces.
You asked for it.
