Great reply.
Regarding the A's: As an A's fan...their ownership hasn't endeared themselves to the city either. Lew Wolfe in his search for a new home has all but ruled out Oakland as an option, looking at first Fremont...now San Jose. That and the fact we keep dealing away our talent grows old after a while. Doesn't stop me from attending games. Oakland is a still closer than Fremont and San Jose.
The Warriors...the arena still sells out each and every game (despite being a losing franchise). Gotta be some of the best crowds (noise wise) in the NBA. Warriors will turn it around.
We Oakland fans are a passionate bunch (speaking for A's and Warriors) and just because we're from CA doesn't mean otherwise. We just have other outlets year around, especially here in the Bay Area. When it comes to the NFL, I'm a big Bills fan. Most Sundays in the fall/winter, you'll find me glued somewhere trying to find out what's happening w/ my Bills.
