I have found over the years that a lot of Giants fans viscerally hate the A's, just as many A's fans would love it if somehow the world was 'cleansed' of the Giants and their fans... But as the have-have not divide between the two franchises grew, I guess it makes sense that the scrappy underdog would grow a big chip on its shoulder and the aggressor that bullied its way to media dominance in the region would knife the entity that helped it gain its stature.
The Giants might not have had the history of success the A's organization had or even a cool movie made after them, but they killed the A's. The A's are dead. And no part of it was fun so why bother dancing on the grave? A's fans aren't free agent fans, they're turning away from Major League Baseball entirely.
John Fisher's meddling is all about doing financial fracking on the public trust so he can live forever thanks to money. All he demands is that the team constantly cuts costs. The Giants' 50,000 owners or however many are in the group have a laundry list of conflicting demands, and so we get this Frankenstein's monster of a project.
