Carole Davis owns Raiders she may health problems but if she could get help to know what’s going on if she’s having trouble understanding situations then she should be told what’s going on with her team. Mark is selling away the Raiders that’s sad, fans think a new ownership will win sooner but it’s just a scheme to take Raiders from the Davis family

The struggle isn’t really over! this web site should keep going! for one thing the A’s are doing this because somebody with power, said leave Oakland! why would MLB want the A’s to move to two smaller markets when they are making money in their present situation? the A’s decided they wanted out of Oakland after they got everything they wanted! the media and some fans feel getting out of Oakland is a money smart, great for fans and good business move. but the A’s are doing things that make no sense. they have no game plan and they need to find a better place than Las Vegas. MLB should tell them to stay in CA and try to find a place to play. they want to put a stadium on nine acres but they know that’s too small! the traffic and the other sports will make it hard to move not have traffic issues. and the Raiders are probably just loving/ happy the A’s are going to play in Las Vegas when the A’s wanted to leave Oakland because they didn’t want to play in the same stadium as the A’s, Mark Davis must be unhappy about that.
The A’s are moving into a minor league team ball park instead of at least spending a few more years in Oakland! they look incompetent! the get out of Oakland thing ain’t helping them the weather(heat) isn’t good and the extra travel and did I hear them talking about selling expensive ticktets?
Then the Las Vegas plan is a joke! its’ a disgrace! building a stadium on 9 acres!? MLB should tell the A’s to either stay in Sacramento or go back to Oakland! why Fischer is doing this we don’t know but Vegas isn’t a baseball town.
You have a long time to find things to keep going! just because the A’s are gone doesn’t mean their mess isn’t still at the Coliseum Complex! we need to know what is going on with MLB and Las Vegas!

Thanks a lot for your message! I think I will keep an eye on the stadium situation until I see a shovel in the ground (somewhere). Thanks a lot for listening and the kind words!
