Libby Schaaf Oakland Mayor Becomes Oakland Roots Head Cheerleader
ONN – When Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf was running for Mayor of Oakland, and through her first year, some people and especially in the right-wing media would point to her time as an Oakland Skyline High School Cheerleader, and call her the City’s “Head Cheerleader.” Sometimes derisively and arguably with not a small bit of sexism.
That written, it’s hard to argue with the moniker in the specific case of yesterday’s Oakland Roots Pro Soccer Block Party. To say the Mayor of Oakland let her hair down would not be an understatement. Libby Schaaf got into it. Leading the crowd in an “O” cheer that would make the Oakland Raiders proud, except the team’s headed to Las Vegas by 2021, when the Allegiant Stadium should be completely ready.
But, who cares? Libby is dancing and jumping up and down, and in total, just having herself a good old time!
It’s nice to see Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf having a little fun and enjoying Oakland’s newest sports organization rather than sparring with Donald Trump and ICE. She did manage to leave before our Richard Haick could ask her questions; Mayor Schaaf escaped down the stairs, and on her way to her next scheduled stop.
By the way, the Oakland Roots tied their inaugural game 3-3.
Stay tuned.
Oakland News Now Note: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest version of an experimental Zennie62Media mobile media video-blogging system network. This is a major part of our new approach to the production of news media. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and also seek interested content and media technology partners.
