Because of course this is Oakland, they won't get a new stadium because the local government don't want to waste billions and the team will move to Vegas as a result just like the Raiders did.

TBH.

Long as they keep the name, I think Oakland can continue not caring.

The Las Vegas Athletics? Not only inaccurate but also cringe.

Apparently the A's are willing to foot the bill for the ballpark, so it's more like "approve the plans or we're leaving".

Unlike that Yellow Red Sox train wreck, I don't hate it. Mainly because you can't ruin a brand identity that doesn't exist...

Corey Kluber has done it, first Yankees no-hitter since David Cone's perfect game, first in this milennium, and a 6th nine-inning no hitter just one day after Turnbull's last night.
