A’s fans are planning to pack the stadium in a reverse boycott to protest the team’s possible relocation

John Fisher (Person) MLB

The Oakland Athletics have been making history this season for all the wrong reasons. Before a recent five-game winning streak, the A’s were looking bound to have MLB’s worst 162-game season while attendance figures were reaching historic lows.

None of this was the fault of A’s fans, and on Tuesday, they intend to prove as much at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. They’re planning a reverse boycott.

A’s fans have largely avoided games this season in protest of owner John Fisher’s pursuit of a publicly funded stadium in Las Vegas. It’s been a rough situation for A’s fans, watching their beloved franchise desperately try to leave Oakland (and possibly failing in multiple attempts with Vegas).

So, for Tuesday’s game against the Rays, the fans hope to take a stand against Fisher and the possible relocation.

The plan is for A’s fans to try to pack the stadium, show the MLB world that they haven’t abandoned the team and loudly protest Fisher.

Right now, it’s unclear what impact a reverse boycott will have given Fisher’s shamelessness. But as a gesture, MLB fans will certainly take notice to a packed Coliseum.

This was how Twitter reacted

Let’s hope something comes from it because A’s fans truly deserve better.
