Oakland A’s fans are pulling out all the stops for Tuesday’s reverse boycott
In the wake of the team’s threats to relocate to Las Vegas, Oakland A’s fans are organizing a “reverse boycott” to remind the world that the A’s fandom is still very much alive. The boycott isn’t just a protest, fans hope to make it a full party.“It might be something that doesn’t make a difference, but it’s going to be a night for the fans,” Hal Gordon, also known as Hal the Hot Dog Guy, said.
The Oakland 68s will hand out their free fan giveaway at the tailgate and various posts around the parking lot. In collaboration with local clothing brand Oaklandish, the drumming group crafted thousands of green shirts with “SELL” printed in white across the chest for fans to grab and wear at the game. They raised more than $30,000 in donations to produce the shirts, getting contributions from local fans as well as supporters from across the country and overseas.
“Since the A’s raised ticket prices, some families are unfortunately unable to afford them,” he said. “We are happy that these people will now be able to go to to the game on Tuesday.”
