Re: A's follow Raiders
I don't think they will be met with as much success as the Raiders. But we'll see.
Moving the Raiders there was genius. What better place to draw away crowds than being in Vegas. Sure, you get some local fans, too, but filling the seats with traveling fans is good. Plus, your national fan base is more likely to come see you play at home, too, when home is a fun place to visit.
Not sure the above translates to baseball where there are 81 home games.

..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.
