Didn’t watch a single game. I used to watch them all. It was tough at first. Then it wasn’t.
Really sad, but yeah, of course the people you screwed over don’t give a shit anymore.
I’m sure the new Sacramento jersey will help get those numbers right back up
Did we ever know why the TV station was cool with this move to Sac?
IIRC they could have said no because of the territory
FJF!
Duh, FJF, FRM, FMLB
Comcast is taking it in the ass. The A’s had to stay in the NorCal market to honour their local cable contract and get those dollars (~50 million, IIRC). Comcast is definitely not getting value for money, I would expect some litigation related to this.

No one could have predicted this. No one.
I guess FJF blaming Oakland fans for them leaving wasn’t a good plan.
Sacramento not a big market believe it or not.
Is anyone actually shocked?
So many of us including me didn’t give MLB a f****** dime this year
Even if I wanted to watch them. Both NBCSCA and NBCSBA got removed from our Xfinity package without notification.
The boycott will continue until the team is sold.
Sell the team
I hate to sound sexist, but it’s the announcer. She’s terrible. Her voice is awful and she does t stop saying dumb shit.
Not a single penny this year. Not a single penny ever again.
JFJ: HOW TO RUIN A BRAND
Lol
Probably watched 2-3 games just cause nothing else was on
This is very encouraging news. FJF, I hope you lose every F’ing dime you have!
Manfred will suck him off AND let him keep all his TV revenue share, despite contributing 💩
The “no fans” era of A’s baseball is here. I hope all the corporate interests who worked hard to make it happen are enjoying it.
All-time bad tv broadcast team does not help. Cavnar and Braden are awful.
I didn’t watch at all this year
This is just like a cheating spouse, easy to turn your back on them. FJF
The brilliant minds at NBC Sports California must love giving money to Billionaires.
Wasn’t it NBC Sports that was fine not breaking the contract if they went to Sacramento, since it was technically “the same market”
