There might be a math term to describe the depth of betrayal here because words surely fail. As Commissioner of MLB, you are expected to promote, preserve, protect, grow and do everything in your power for the benefit of the game. That would include taking sufficient care to insure that franchises go to ownerships that will COMPETE, and not to ownerships that will refuse to compete, do not care a whit for MLB, are only in it for the money and treat the franchise like a security. The Karma Bus MUST be in transit for Selig and Fisher, two men who can not be sufficiently despised. I feel bad for Oakland, the city that just got mugged.
Fisher may find new motivation to compete when he meets his new masters in Vegas. He may continue to hold the franchise but it's unlikely he will be free to pull the same crap there that he has in Oakland.
