I used to waste my time on YouTube watching baseball clips from Jomboy and other podcasters with a YouTube channel. These days, I hunt YouTube for the video that makes me hate John Fisher the most. Not good for this old man’s health. If the A’s do move, maybe I will give up and never put an emotional investment in an MLB team again. I will enjoy the local Sacramento teams and only follow MLB for my horrible fantasy teams.
Here’s a curated list of videos on the most hated man in Oakland and, quite possibly, baseball. (Commissioner Manfred probably gets the dubious award for the whole MLB.)
I like this brief (1:52 minutes) editorial on how John Fisher is a lying sack of shit.
This is an 8:20-minute video takedown of Fisher as the MLS’ San Jose Earthquake owner. Las Vegas, you need to watch this video!
Finally, my favorite: a rather blunt comment from, of all personalities, Brodie Brazil, a man who tends to keep his opinions of the Evil Trio (Fisher, Kavel, and Manfred) close to his chest. Perhaps because he is employed by NBC and hosts the Oakland A’s Pre- and Post-game shows and coming across as opinionated about ownership and executive management might result in his termination. This clip (4:48 minutes) is a segment where he pulls no punches. Brazil picks apart comments from one of few controlled interviews the billionaire owner of the A’s has allowed.
