I think it was more a Urb magazine joke than a "looks like MIA joke"
why because they probably ran one zillion pictures of MIA

"I think mixed-race people are so hot" is always an awkward one to deal with.

So Cleveland Indians announcer Tom Hamilton was just making some observations during today's game about the amusing rapport that Kansas City outfielder Jeff Francouer has developed with fans in right-field in Oakland. He concluded, "It can't be easy to make friends with those guys. Most of them are on parole!"

I think Oakland-fan bashing is an equal opportunity deal-not racist. If 30% of Raider fans aren't on parole, i'm sure at least that many would lie to you and tell you that they are to seem badass. Not sure about A's fans.

30% of Raiders fans are on parole, the other 70% jumped bail iirc

yet a baseball announcer would never say that the right field bleachers of citizens bank are filled with people on parole

Also I bring it up because years ago, when the Indians were playing the Yankees in the Bronx, Hamilton said on the air, "I would no sooner bring my family here than I would bring them to Harlem."

It's to watch all the foreclosures.

It's hard to watch a Philly game in any sport and not hear about the fact that the fans either 1) pelted Santa Claus with snowballs; 2)cheered the fact that Michael Irvin was possibly paralyzed and 3) are so unruly they have to have a makeshift courtroom in the stadium. Philadelphia is Oakland West, at least as far as bad fan-base reputations go.

they boo bad landings iirc
no wonder the landings are bad if philly is 'oakland west' tho

Raiders fans are universally considered reprobates & it's an image they cultivate and enjoy. A's fans, not that I know of.

I'd be less concerned about the Jim Crow Museum if they had chosen a less playful typeface for the signage.
