I’m so excited to finally share this: I’m writing a book. It’s about Oakland—its rise as a great American sports town, its fall to the billionaires who abandoned it, and, most of all, the fans and activists and founders who fought to hold onto this aspect of the city’s history, identity and soul. I aim to get it all: what happened, how it happened, and why it matters not just to A’s, Raiders, Warriors, Roots and Ballers fans, but sports fans (and taxpayers) everywhere. I’ve been working on this for a long time already, and though there’s still a long way to go, I’m so excited for you all to read it. Let’s Go, Oakland. I hope it does you justice ⚾️ cc @OaklandBallers @oaklandrootssc @Oakland68s @LastDiveBar @UnivNebPress

It's so weird that amidst the 21st century tech boom, the Bay Area has actually *lost* pro sports teams since apparently none of these tech geniuses is normal enough to want to be a local hero and own a baseball team.

You have no idea what you’re talking about

Oakland didn’t want the Raiders, they didn’t want any of their sports teams. The move to Vegas was the right one but Mark really has to do something about strong fanbases taking over. It’s bad.

This seems like a very bad idea.

It's finally here: publication day for This One Will Be Different. Why do cities keep spending billions on stadiums despite decades of evidence that they don't deliver the promised benefits? I wrote a book about it. Hope you'll check it out! jcbradbury.com/towbd/

I bet whatever stadium the Bears build in Gary IN will look just as cool

Lumen Field was publicly funded. The Seahawks just won the Super Bowl. The team has sold out every home game going back decades. Extortion has become a base element of the experience of being an American sports fan and it’s crazy we continue on this way.

The Seahawks' lease expires in 2032, and while Vinod Khosla has extension options all the way to 2062, he's presumably at least thinking about what he can demand in exchange for not threatening to leave town in six years. fieldofschemes.com/2026/10/0…

New Seahawks owner says “never say never” on moving team, blames media for accurately reporting...

Vinod Khosla, who bought the Seattle Seahawks for $9.6 billion last month, was asked by Axios last week if he would "formally commit" to "keeping the team in Seattle long-term," and while there...
