For reasons best known only to himself, Oakland Athletics President Dave Kaval elected to issue the tweet above from the Las Vegas Golden Knights, Stanley Cup Playoffs Game, at T-Mobile Arena. Now, under normal circumstances – where Mr. Kaval was just a fan, not the President of the Oakland A’s Baseball Organization, and not in the middle of what Oakland City Councilmember Dan Kalb calls “sensitive” negotiations with the City of Oakland regarding a ballpark at Howard Terminal – that social media exclamation of excitement would be just fine. But it’s far from it, and has damaged the team’s relationship with it’s own, mostly Oakland and San Francisco Bay Area East Bay, fans.
Take a look at some of the responses to his tweet on Twitter:
Dave Kaval. WTF?

Why are you showing us this?

He’s full of crap Elmano. It’s as clear as day. He’s now resorting to trolling Oakland fans.
He never loved us. Nobody loves us but US. We all we got✊??

He’s 100% not even going to acknowledge this. This is intentional. The man isn’t stupid.

Been a die hard A’s fan since age 11. I’m now 44. This makes me ok with giving up my first love and just being a casual MLB fan once the A’s leave. Dave, thank you for this gift. I’m 100% done giving Fisher any more of my income.

This absolutely sucks in every way my dude. Pull yourself together.
— Thischarmingham (@Thischarminham) May 25, 2021
The subtext here is not subtle, not clever, and only serves to hurt the feelings of diehard A’s fans without moving a single Oakland City Council vote. Been on your side and have advocated for the Howard Terminal ballpark––this is just weak sauce, Dave. Don’t troll your own fans.

Hi @DaveKaval. Lifelong A’s fan & season ticket holder current watching, you know, your current team. If you’re in Vegas or Portland or wherever, just stay there. Glad you’re enjoying Vegas though, really.

Damn, @DaveKaval . “Howard Terminal or bust”, huh? Subtlety is not a virtue of yours, I see. Not sure how I’ve managed making it 2+ decades as an A’s fan the way ownership treats its fans.

Im sorry but what Dave Kaval is doing is Mark Davis level of disrespect. Period.

So, the question here is “Hey Dave, how’s the Howard Terminal talks with the City of Oakland going?”
Seems like he just told us.
Stay tuned.

This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our 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 – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news 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 seeks interested content and media technology partners.
