Giants Fans Joined A’s Fans in a Loud ‘Sell the Team!’ Chant, and Everyone Loved it

In this story:
The Oakland A’s are playing their neighbors, the San Francisco Giants, this week at Oracle Park and it didn’t take long for a beautiful moment to happen between the two rival fanbases, as they teamed up for a very loud “Sell the team!” chant during Tuesday night’s series opener.
The A’s, of course, could very well soon be on the move to Las Vegas. The team’s fans have been furious about this potential relocation and have been voicing their frustrations all season long, demanding at many games that the ownership sell the team so the organization can stay in Oakland.
This chant in the top of the fifth inning was loud and clear:
Fans loved it:
Giants fans in total solidarity with Oakland A’s fans. You love to see it! #Sell https://t.co/shSFqGI1AR
