I’m not going to the Warriors ground-breaking ceremony.
This isn’t some dramatic protest of the move to San Francisco. This isn’t a shot at the Warriors, per se, or knock on the ownership. It is but a conscious choice to not be involved in the celebration of what they assuredly see as an achievement.
This is about siding with the frustrated and angry fans who can’t shake the sting. This is about being in unison with those who don’t see the Warriors move as a good thing, just one last, final slap in the face.
This is about those who proudly represent the East Bay culture in this Bay Area civil rivalry, especially those who carry a flag for Oakland, and sees this as a major blow.
