The #OaklandRoots soccer team is playing at the Oakland Coliseum tonight.
That rusting decaying pile of concrete is where I truly learned to love sports. My #baseball team is gone from there now (asshole team owner John Fisher wanted more $$), but it's lovely to see the stadium in use.
That "Let's Go Oakland" chant ringing in the stands is making me feel things, let me tell you.
I attended the final game of the Oakland Athletics Baseball Club and wrote some words about our gratitude, grief, and anger. — Today, There is Crying in Baseball.: Grateful, Grieving, and Being so Pissed off at John Fisher that Major League Baseball is Now Dead to Us https://bit.ly/4djsVI0
I didn't only go to the big deal #Baseball games though.
Some other highlights include so many games with friends, hanging out and having fun.
I remember one game where I taught a little girl in the row in front of us how to do a high five, when she wasn't that into the baseball game. I hope her family forgave us for that!
I remember a bunch of games where I chatted with the fans around us, enjoying the deeper discussions and the camaraderie.
I remember the days when #RootedInOakland was a joyous commitment. Now it's all going away, all that loyalty and energy, due to the greed of the owner.
I guess I'm a #Giants fan now.
3/3
Keeping the A's vs having a Las Vegas baseball team is a false choice.
We can have both.
Thank the Rays.
