Letter: A’s owner could sell team, develop Coliseum property for profit

Re: “MLB chief reveals Oakland A’s want a taxpayer subsidy” (Editorial, Eastbaytimes.com, Oct. 8):

Thanks for the excellent editorial on the proposed sale of half the Coliseum property.

Beyond the Game: Partnering with Saint Xavier University

Now what if John Fisher (A’s majority owner), after buying the property, just moves and sells the A’s for a nice profit? And then develops the Coliseum property and makes several million dollars?

Fisher is a successful real estate developer and successful developers know how to take advantage of some schmuck city officials!

To the city of Oakland officials: Don’t be schmucks!
