On That’s Amaury News and Commentary:

OAKLAND–I’m a little disappointed in MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred who was asked about last Tuesday’s reverse boycott at the Oakland Coliseum, he said “I mean it was great, it is great to see what is this year almost an average Major League Baseball crowd in the facility for one night. That’s a great thing.”

I respect everybody and the Commissioner shouldn’t say stuff. I like the golden rule I l treat people like I want to be treated. Manfred is in a big position. Former MLB Commissioner Peter Ueberroth and some commissioners were thinking about going into politics after being Commissioner.

Baseball is an institution in the United States of America and Manfred should not have laughed at the customers (the fans) and you don’t do that in any business. I’m really disappointed at Manfred I really am and I’m not criticizing just for the sake of it just for the sake of it he sends a lot of mixed messages and in some cases you can say he’s lied to the A’s fans so I understand the grief by the A’s fans.
