A\'s Fans Plan \'Reverse Boycott\' At Coliseum 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Jun 13, 2023 11:58 am

Frustrated fans of the Oakland Athletics have hatched an unusual plan to protest the club\'s despised ownership group.

Organizers are calling on A\'s supporters to stage a \"Reverse Boycott\" at the Coliseum on Tuesday. They plan to give away T-shirts to the first 7,000 fans to arrive and are hoping to make a statement with the biggest, most spirited crowd of the year when the A\'s host the Tampa Bay Rays.

The goal is a sellout for a team with dismal attendance all season that has regularly been topped by Triple-A franchises.

The bright green T-shirts made by local company Oaklandish read \"SELL\" -- a message for owner John Fisher to give up the team to someone who might keep it here.

Nevada lawmakers, meanwhile, are discussing the A\'s proposed financing plan to build a new ballpark in Las Vegas.
