'Worst owner in sports': Angry and sad A's fans respond to John Fisher's goodbye letter

The Oakland Athletics are set to play their final game in Oakland this Thursday, leaving a community of devoted fans heartbroken. Owner John Fisher recently issued a letter to fans claiming he tried everything possible to keep the team in the city, but many supporters, including Bryan Johansen, feel that his words are disingenuous. Johansen, a co-owner of Baseball's Last Dive Bar, criticized the owner for not making meaningful investments in the franchise or its stadium, contrasting it with the financial commitments made for the team's relocation to Las Vegas. Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao's spokesperson reiterated this sentiment, stating that Fisher's failure to invest contributed to the team's departure. As the last game approaches, many Coliseum workers, some of whom have spent their entire careers at the venue, face an uncertain future.

The emotional responses from fans and community members highlight the deep connection they have with the team and the Coliseum. The situation has led to widespread anger, with some labeling Fisher as "the worst owner in sports. " This moment marks a significant chapter in Oakland's sports history, as the city prepares to say goodbye to a team that has been a staple for 57 years.
