(GRA) I didn’t know this until today, when I saw a google headline and checked it out. The 2024 season is the final one for a team that had a three- year dynasty in the early ‘70s with owner Charles O. Finley and a group of all-stars who won three championships from 1972-1974. “Catfish” Hunter, Reggie Jackson, Sal Bando, Ken Holtzman, Vida Blue, Gene Tenace and others were all top-notch players at the time and the city was not a black hellhole, either. Plenty of White fans came out to support those A’s, a colorful team, if there ever was one (uniforms included.)
Fast forward to 2024 and the city is a ghetto, with crime exploding the last decade, as black population rose to dangerous levels.
It became a city which couldn’t support a baseball team and as of 2025, the a’s will temporarily move to sacramento for three years, and then to las vegas.
The blacks ruined another industry, didn’t they?
I could see the white sox doing the same thing in that gangbanger city of chicago.
In their last home game, the a’s won, 3-2 (as if it mattered.)

N.S.: GRA, you forgot a lot. It’s a wonder that the a’s didn’t leave town generations ago. I recall reading a magazine story during the a’s 1970s’ dynasty, when they were only getting fan attendance of 400,000-450,000 per season.
And Oakland has been a racist hellhole for 60 years. Huey Newton and Bobby Seale founded the black panthers there during the early 1960s, and Newton murdered White cop John Frey there in an ambush, in 1967. black supremacist cong. Ron Dellums also established himself there during the 1960s.
I stand corrected. The problem is,going back 50 years,I remember even less than I forgot.

My only memories of Oakland playing were in the playoffs and W.S.--baseball was rarely on tv in those days(just Saturday's game of the week)--and they had the crowds then,lol

CHICAGO(AND bLACK MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON) ISN'T SERIOUS ABOUT STOPPING CRIME--ENDS SHOTSPOTTER PROGRAM;POLICE DEPARTMENT PANICS.
ReplyDelete.
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago police kicked off a new campaign to encourage residents to be more proactive in calling 911 now that the city no longer has ShotSpotter.
In the 6th Police District on the city's South Side, a community policing push is underway to raise awareness about the need for people to call 911 when they hear gunfire.
"We've been, have been canvassing the last week and a half now, passing out those flyers, the boards that you can hang in your window that said we call the police. So that's, that's one of our biggest things, we've been handing those out at our beat meetings," said Cmdr. Michael Tate.
Police hoping to give out 100,000 "we call police" signs across the city as part of a campaign to make up for the loss of ShotSpotter, which was deactivated last weekend.
(GRA:Brandon Johnson said it was "racist" and zeroed in on minorities.DUH!)
They will also be using social media as part of the campaign.
CPD Superintendent Larry Snelling said the department has to be fluid now that they don't have ShotSpotter at their disposal.
"We're going to continue to be proactive to try to keep those shootings down. So, it's like anything else. If we have to change, we have to adapt. If something is removed or something is brought in new, we have to adapt," he said.
Without ShotSpotter, police are also going to be relying more on information gathered by district intelligence officers to try to prevent conflicts that can lead to shootings.
"We create strategies around that information. So we'll just continue to work in that fashion, and anything that we can improve upon. We're going to continue to move in that direction," he said.
Church and community groups are also doing their part.
"We're talking about it more. We're encouraging people more. We're getting ready to actually put together a flyer to send out through all of our social media. ShotSpotter is gone. You're still there. Make a call," said Father Michael Pfleger, St. Sabina Church.
GRA:Why would blacks cooperate NOW? black thugs,however,will jump for joy,knowing an early detection system has been removed.
