Armstrong's comments about Las Vegas stem from the Oakland Athletics' relocation, expressing his discontent over team owner John Fisher's indifference towards loyal fans, remarking, 'We don't take shit from people like fucking John Fisher.' His disdain was clear during a concert at Oracle Park where he called Las Vegas 'the worst shithole in America.' This sentiment resonates with many Oakland fans who feel overlooked as their team departs after 57 years.
In reaction to Armstrong's remarks, local radio stations KOMP 92.3 and X107.5 banned Green Day from their playlists. KOMP stated, 'It’s not us, Billie… it’s you,' emphasizing their decision to distance themselves from the band after the incendiary comments. X107.5 echoed similar sentiments, asserting that 'Sin City heard him loud and clear,' and noted that they would not tolerate his negative portrayal of the city.
