What is the #ReverseBoycott?

Marcelo Unda • June 14, 2023

Let me catch you up on what happen last night in the MLB around the Oakland A's.


The Oakland Athletics' fans have decided to attend home games and express their frustration with ownership after it was announce a Nevada bill was passed to provide public funds for the team to build a stadium in Las Vegas, NV.

The fans respond with pettiness, and I am here for it.

I gotta a lot of respect for A's fans to go out their and  support their team. They just want an owner who is willing to invest and build a team the fanbase can get behind. As a Pelicans fan, I hear this all the time: Pelicans should move the team to Seattle or Las Vegas. Gayle should sell the team. She has no interest or knowledge of running a basketball team.

yada yada yada.


The buzz surrounding the fanbase has trickle down to the club house and now the Athletic's are currently on a 7 game win streak!

This is why sports are the best. Fans can make an impact to a game or a team. We surrender our emotions and reactions, good or bad, to a game we love. We appreciate players for their talents and effort to represent the city we're from. The name on the front isn't just a title- it's a symbol, it's pride, it's a reflection of the people who support the team that tells a story of where we come from. It tells the opponent to respect us and we're gonna show you how we play!


I gotta admit I've said before that the Athletic's were the worst team in baseball. Even betting against them no matter what the odds were. Good for the team to rally behind the fanbase during this win streak. The fans who still want to enjoy baseball in Oakland deserve to see some effort and passion while the team is still there.

NOLA Gold's win over Seattle secures 3rd place in the Major League Rugby Eastern Conference standings

By Tina Howell • April 28, 2025
After a weather-delayed kickoff, loyal NOLA Gold fans were treated to a rollercoaster of a match that ended with a well-earned 44-36 victory over the Seattle Seawolves at the Shrine. This win moved NOLA Gold into 3rd place in the Major League Rugby Eastern Conference standings. Coach Danny Lee said of the team's response to the delay, “We just had to control the controllables. Once we told the boys the definitive time for kickoff, we had a plan ready to go. In terms of game plan, we had to be a little bit more direct, and we had to kick and adapt quickly.” NOLA Gold set the tone early, taking an initial 3-0 lead thanks to a steady penalty kick from Dorian Jones. Though Seattle answered quickly with a try to make it 7-3, the Gold launched into a dominant scoring stretch. Isaac Te Tamaki powered across the try line to ignite the offense, followed by back-to-back tries from the relentless Jonah Mau’u. Jones continued to add points from the tee, stretching the Gold’s lead to 27-7. Just before halftime, the Seawolves found a breakthrough and scored at the buzzer, narrowing the margin to 27-14. However, NOLA emerged from the locker room with purpose. Xavier Mignot wasted no time reestablishing momentum with a try that pushed the lead to 34-14. Seattle fought back with intensity, capitalizing on back-to-back tries to bring the score to 34-24. But NOLA responded with composure, as Jones added another penalty to keep the visitors at bay, 37-24. The closing stages of the match saw both teams exchanging blows. Seattle’s try was met by a decisive moment from Joe Taufete’e, who muscled through defenders for a critical score. Luke Campbell’s conversion extended the lead to 44-29. Though Seattle scored one final try at the buzzer, it wasn’t enough. With a final score of 44-36, NOLA Gold walked away with a crucial five-point win in front of a roaring home crowd and strengthens their postseason hopes with a firm grip on 3rd place in the East. Their next match will be on the road against the San Diego Legion on May 4th at 4:00 PM CT. For tickets and more details, please visit www.nolagoldrugby.com
