Oakland Roots At Oakland Coliseum Great But Not A Replacement For The Oakland Athletics MLB TeamThe Oakland Roots are not a replacement for the Oakland A’s and should not be seen as such by anyone. But in this era of over-politization of everything, we have elected officials, including Mayor Thao who’s under the threat of recall and calls to resign from every quarter, acting like the Oakland Roots are the second coming.The Oakland Roots are not a replacement for the Oakland A’s. Anyone presenting them that way is telling a lie. The Roots are not a Major League Soccer Team.The Oakland Roots play 34 games a year, which means 16 are at the Oakland Coliseum. That’s far less than the 162 MLB Season Games, 81 of which are at home. So, that’s a loss of 65 games, and the Roots don’t draw the same number of sponsors or vendors and the City of Oakland has not shown the gumption to want to help the roots attract any.So, the Oakland Roots are sink or swim at the Coliseum. For one or more years. The Roots want a tiny home in the parking lot. If Oakland had a good economic development program, it would be at work, working with the African American Sports and Entertainment Group AASEG on a plan for the Oakland Roots that is viable and sustainable.Oakland does not have a good economic development program.Stay tuned.

Note from Oakland News Now Blog, Zennie62 YouTube, and Zennie62Media: this Oakland News Online Blog video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. This is what we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Online Blog site and Zennie62Media -created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, thus less chance for Oakland News Online Blog, Zennie62 YouTube vloggers to be robbed. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
