The Las Vegas Raiders’ Awkward Online Interaction With The Athletics Is Turning Heads
In just a few short years, the Las Vegas Raiders and the Athletics are going to be neighbors once again. But instead of sharing the Oakland Coliseum in Oakland, California, they’re going to be on the Las Vegas strip together. 
But as the NFL season gets started and MLB teams across the country wish their football counterparts who play in the same region the best (see: San Francisco Giants and San Francisco 49ers) the currently homeless (Sacramento?) A’s don’t have anyone to wish the best of luck.
So they tried to wish their future neighbors well in a post on X. And let’s just say it went over poorly.
“Let’s go @Raiders, good luck this season!” the Athletics wrote on their X account. This repost was accompanied by a Raiders pregame hype video.
Fans couldn’t respond in the replies, since the A’s, always on the run from public opinion, still have every comments section on every social media account they run turned off.
But fans certainly took the opportunity to screenshot or repost the Athletics’ support for the Raiders and bash it.
“The treasonous @Athletics & their pathetic social team (comments turned off) should be dragged for this. John “The Con” Fisher refused to redevelop the Coliseum, something Mark Davis wanted, which aided the Raiders in leaving Oakland,” popular sports media figure Damon Amendolara wrote on X.

Interestingly enough, the NHL‘s Vegas Golden Knights also wished the Raiders well on X. The Raiders’ X team reposted the Knights’ well wishes, in a show of Vegas sports unity.
But they wanted nothing to do with the Athletics’ post, which they did not repost.
Do The Raiders and Athletics Still Have Beef?
Back in 2023, Mark Davis made it publicly know that he did not support the Athletics’ move to Las Vegas.
In an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Davis called out the Athletics for their behavior both in Oakland when they shared the Oakland Coliseum and in their move to Las Vegas.
“I won’t forget what they did to us in Oakland,” Davis said. “They squatted on a lease for 10 years and made it impossible for us to build on that stadium.”
“They marketed the team as ‘Rooted in Oakland,’ that’s been their mantra through the whole thing. The slogans they’ve been using have been a slap to the face of the Raiders, and they were trying to win over that type of mentality in the Bay Area. Well all they did was f—- the Bay Area.”
Davis essentially blamed the Athletics not only for leaving Oakland, but for forcing the Raiders out as well. He said the Raiders only looked into moving to Las Vegas because the A’s wouldn’t let them make improvements to the Oakland Coliseum or build a football only stadium on the site.
“For them to leave Oakland without anything is pretty (screwed) up,” Davis said. “Because that site that the stadium was on was a good site.”
The Athletics’ most recent attempt to cozy up to their former and future “friends” in the Raiders organization has instead reminded everyone that not even the Raiders want the A’s in Vegas.
A Note on the Aces
It’s also worth noting that the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces did not wish the Raiders well on social media ahead of the start of the NFL season on Sunday.
The Raiders previously made a post wishing the Aces well back in May, when the WNBA season was starting.
However, the Aces did have the Raiderettes in the house for the halftime show on Sunday. They performed during the Aces’ 80-66 win over the Chicago Sky.
What do you think of all this, Raiders fans? Will the Raiders and the A’s get along when the A’s move to Vegas? Or will this unprecedented, awkward beef between two teams in the same city continue?
Miami Heat owner jokes about LeBron James’ championship guarantee
It was the summer of 2010, and the NBA world was shocked. LeBron James announced he was taking his talents to South Beach to join the Miami Heat.
LeBron famously promised to bring the Heat: “Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven,” championships.
This, of course, did not happen. LeBron did deliver two titles to Miami, and recently at the Basketball Hall of Fame ceremony, Heat owner Micky Arison poked fun at LeBron.
“In 2010, with Dwyane, LeBron and Chris Bosh, we knew we could win. Not one, not two… I guess it was just two,” Arison joked.

It was all in good fun as even LeBron couldn’t help but laugh. Ultimately, the Heat have not won a title since LeBron left, while King James won two. This includes defeating the Heat in 2020 as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.
