Being a fan of sports is supposed to be simple. It’s a place where people find joy, escape, and community. Whether your team is winning or rebuilding, there's comfort in knowing that for a few hours, you’re part of something bigger than yourself. But for A’s fans, that connection has been fractured. The team’s move to Las Vegas hasn’t felt like a unifying moment. The Politics and Hypocricy is something that has played its way into this saga and it has been ugly! For over a year, media voices — both national and local — have told us this move wasn’t going to happen. Stadium renderings were called fake. Timelines were laughed off. Insiders swore the votes weren’t there. And yet, here we are: the A’s have officially announced the groundbreaking for their Las Vegas stadium on June 23rd at 8:00 AM. So where are the retractions? Where’s the accountability? The media is one of the only industries where being consistently wrong still pays. You can blow the story completely and still keep the mic, the paycheck, and the audience. Truth is optional, as long as the narrative feeds the clicks. So how do I feel? Am I ready to spike the football and scream, “I told you so”? I really thought I would. Sure the critics have been wrong, but were they really trying to be right? This isn’t just about proving critics wrong — it’s about exposing the broken system that allowed a saga this messy to be told so sloppily. Fans deserved better. Whether you’re still riding with the A’s or feel burned beyond repair, the least we should expect is honesty. And in a media landscape where being loud matters more than being right, this groundbreaking isn’t just about a ballpark — it’s about setting the record straight.
