Oakland Athletics relocation to Las Vegas thread: Move to Vegas approved by MLB owners - Will play in Sacramento for 3-4 years

[KevFu]

When 3 teams in 3 different sports in 5 years bail on your city, maybe it's time to be honest with ourselves. Oakland was no longer a serious city for major sports.

It's really funny to me how the Warriors make the list of teams Oakland lost.

The New York Giants and Jets play 10.8 miles from New York state.
The Buffalo Bills have always played in Orchard Park, 10.9 miles from Buffalo.
The Atlanta Braves moved 13 miles north to Cumberland.
The Ottawa Senators play 17 miles from Ottawa.
The Dallas Cowboys have been playing 19 miles from Dallas in Arlington since 1971.

Boston is a four-sport city with the New England Patriots being 31 miles away in Foxborough, but the Oakland Warriors moving 11.2 miles outside of Oakland is "losing a team." (Oh, sorry, did I say Oakland Warriors? I meant Golden State).
