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.

BREAKING - Bill to provide $380 million in public funds for an Oakland Athletics ballpark on the Las Vegas Strip just passed the Nevada State Senate. https://t.co/vd9JerzXS6

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

The announced attendance at the Oakland A's reverse boycott game: 27,759.

And the crowd has been absolutely electric. Constantly engaged, chanting for John Fisher to sell the team and trying to remind everyone that Oakland losing baseball is a genuinely bad thing for the sport.

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!

The A’s tie it and The Coliseum is ALIVE on reverse boycott night. SCENES

The largest #Athletics crowd of the year erupts as Oakland wins its MLB-best seventh-straight game over the Rays.

An incredible night at the Coliseum gets a happy ending.

The reverse boycott was memorable, that’s for sure. pic.twitter.com/0L2QuE8Am6

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.

Pelicans @ Nuggets Takeaways

By Chrissy Smith • October 30, 2025

Team Stats (Pelicans at Nuggets) Final Score: 88-122 Rebounds: 36-57 Assists: 17-40 Steals: 9-5 Blocks: 3-5 Turnovers: 12-14 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Jeremiah Fears, 21; Nikola Jokić, 21 Rebound Leaders: Trey Murphy III, 7; Nikola Jokić, 12 Assist Leaders: Jeremiah Fears, 6; Nikola Jokić, 10 My Player of the Game: Jeremiah Fears Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The starters for this game were Fears, Murphy III, Jones, Zion, and Deandre Jordan. So that was different, and it didn't work at all. * With most of the third quarter over, Zion had five total points in the game. He finished with 11. * The Nuggets went on a 32-4 run in the third quarter. The Pelicans came out very slow to start off the third. * New Orleans went 7-of-33 from the three-point line. * Nikola Jokić had a triple-double. The Pelicans had no answer for him all night. * Do the Pelicans know that the season has started because the majority of the guys out there look like they still think they're playing Summer League. * The problem with this team isn't the talent because they have that. So what's the problem? Coaching, effort, etc.? This has to be fixed ASAP. Follow @TheKneaux on X, and follow me there too, @SportsChrissy.

Celtics @ Pelicans Takeaways

By Chrissy Smith • October 28, 2025

Team Stats (Celtics at Pelicans) Final Score: 122-90 Rebounds: 54-35 Assists: 25-17 Steals: 5-7 Blocks: 7-0 Turnovers: 11-13 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Anfernee Simons, 25; Jordan Poole, 22 Rebound Leaders: Neemias Queta, 11; Yves Miss, 7 Assist Leaders: Payton Prichard, 8; Trey Murphy, III, 5 My Player of the Game: Jordan Poole Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The first two losses of the season were tough but at least the team looked good. In this game, no one looked fired up to compete except Jordan Poole and Jose Alvarado. * Zion did not play because he's been spending all offseason getting in shape just so he could rest after two games. Makes no sense to me. * Trey Murphy and Herb Jones need to find their spark and stride. These guys have been putting in a ton of work in the offseason but it isn't showing right now. * Willie Green has got to be on a short leash because this 0-3 start feels like the team is just picking up where they left off except this time they're healthy and have all the momentum in the world. * The next three games for the Pelicans will be on the road against Denver, Clippers, and Thunder .
