Imagine being in a 57 year relationship.
00:02
And then one night your partner leaves and they marry someone in
00:05
Vegas that's heartbreaking. So essentially that's what's happening to the city
00:08
of Oakland. Not only did they lose their baseball team,
00:11
the Raiders went to Vegas in 2019 beautiful stadium by the way
00:15
And now their beloved Oakland A's are headed to Sin City
00:20
as well. Rest in piece of Tropicana because that's where they're
00:22
going to build. It's part of the stadium.
00:24
No wonder I saw construction last time it went by and I
00:27
was wondering what is,
00:29
and the taxi driver was telling me,
00:31
I don't know why they're building that shit.
00:33
He said, I don't know.
00:34
Yeah, the taxi driver,
00:36
he's like, I don't know why they're building that shit is
00:37
going to cause so much congestion.
00:39
Like, dude, if the traffic is bad in Vegas right
00:42
now, can you imagine if they build a stadium there?
00:46
But yeah, they keep losing all their teams.
00:47
I mean, poor fans getting ghosted from the sea.
00:50
Surety is wild. Seriously,
00:53
man. So the recent A's move hasn't set well with fans
00:56
I guess in both cities,
00:57
right? Oakland and Vegas as they blamed the move on.
01:00
Billionaire owner John Fisher,
01:01
who fans say skyrocket ticket prices and trade away good players.
01:05
So he was like intentionally making a team like unwatchable.
01:09
Mm. But really though brother,
01:11
what I don't understand is why are all these teams moving to
01:14
Las Vegas? Well,
01:15
sister, I think there's only one word here.
01:17
No money. So I guess they finally accepted Vegas and all
01:22
the bags that come with it.
01:23
Well, brother, I don't know about all these teams,
01:25
like moving to Vegas,
01:26
like pro athletes, you know,
01:28
gambling and strip clubs and I can see the TMG headlines already
01:33
This is my other day for sure that it's a party
01:35
I feel for those wholesome sports fans in Oakland.
01:38
They're losing their squad brother.
01:40
What do they look up to?
01:41
What does Oakland have now?
01:43
I don't know, sister.
01:44
But if you remember a few months ago,
01:46
even in an outlet,
01:47
Oakland, what's going on over there?
01:51
I heard people are stealing luggages straight out of cars and that's
01:54
why they're moving. Hey,
01:57
man, the luggage.
01:59
When I went to DAPA,
02:01
the taxi driver told me there's no way in hell we're going
02:03
through Oakland, they're going to steal all the luggages out of
02:05
the car. And I'm like,
02:06
really, they're legit,
02:08
like, scared to go through there.
02:09
I don't know. That's what he told me.
02:11
But Oakland, hold on to the Warriors.
02:16
Even though they're not really in Oakland anymore.
02:19
You guys got this.
02:20
Maybe it will go back.
02:21
I don't know. Well,
02:22
prayers for the Oakland homies.
