The Oakland Athletics' fanbase's fierce loyalty has been stretched to its limit and then broken as the team continues its plans to move the franchise to Las Vegas.

News Tuesday that the Nevada Senate approved public funding up to $380 million for a new Athletics stadium in Vegas coincided with the team's fans pulling off a "reverse boycott" for the team's home game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

A horde of fans showed up for an event that included live music, food, games and "Sell" shirts imploring owner John Fisher to sell the team.
