As the Oakland Athletics franchise is coming to a close at the end of the season, two A's fans were caught trying to steal seats for the Oakland coliseum, but did nit getting very far and were ultimately unsuccessful.
As the Oakland A's only have a few games left of their season, and ultimately only a few games left of being a franchise, fans were doing all sorts of crazy things, and 2 fans took it to a whole other level.
This A's fan pulled seats out of the ground at tonight's game.
The video of the fans carrying and ripping the chairs out has been circulating and going viral all of social media as the they are seen carrying them above their heads and other A's fans yelling at them.
It is pretty unclear with the short video on X (formally Twitter) if that fans are cheering in a positive matter for the two fans or if they are yelling in anger for their destructive behavior. But per the San Francisco Chronicle's reporter Susan Slusser, the Athletics confirmed that the video is real.
«Fans did disassemble and take these seats last night,» Slusser wrote on X. In a second post, she added, «The fans were stopped, the seats were taken back and reinstalled.»
It is understandable that fans are upset that the A's are leaving their beloved city for Las Vegas next season, but this type of aggressive behavior is unacceptable in every from of the word.
«Hey Fam, we're playing at the Coliseum next year and we would love to save some seats for you all!» The Roots wrote. «Love and respect.»
Hopefully the rest of the games are a little calmer and less destructive.
