In this no-punches-pulled episode, we tackle the raw truth behind the outrage over the Oakland A’s relocation—and spoiler alert: it’s not really about Oakland. It’s about class warfare in 2025 form, where the battlefield isn’t the Coliseum but the billionaire class and those who resent them. The real villain of this saga isn’t John Fisher the man, but John Fisher the symbol—of unchecked wealth, of power without accountability, of decisions made from penthouses while regular folks struggle to cover rent. We dig into why this story is more than just a baseball relocation and explore how America's messy class structure fuels the venom. This isn’t a city-versus-owner tale—it’s a society-versus-status drama dressed up in green and gold.
But then we flip the mirror back on the fanbase itself. Because when the Oakland Ballers, a fledgling indie team trying to keep pro baseball alive in the East Bay, came under fire for real safety and housing issues—where was the outrage then? Crickets. Not a peep from the same crowd that lights their torches anytime Fisher’s name is mentioned. That selective anger tells a bigger story about performative loyalty and misdirected resentment. We call out the hypocrisy, lay bare the facts, and challenge the so-called defenders of Oakland to examine what they’re really fighting for. This episode is for the fans who’ve been there through thick and thin, and a wake-up call for those just looking for a villain to boo.
