You do understand--in your rush to commit "confirmation bias"--that the Warriors moved from Oakland, California, to San Francisco, California. That's across the bay, not across a state line.
Yeah, the Warriors "fled" to a location eight miles away.
The reason why the Raiders, A's, and Warriors left Oakland was the very poor condition of the Oakland Coliseum. The Warriors didn't have competition for the local fan base, so they stayed in the Bay Area. The A's and Raiders were competing with very successful franchises already in the Bay Area, and Oakland didn't want to finance a new stadium, so they left.
What our resident conservitard morons don't acknowledge is that "liberal cities" are and always have been excellent venues for successful sports franchises. That's because people in liberal cities have money, and there's less risk of a gun love goober shooting up the place.
The Warriors chose to move to "liberal San Francisco." How do our conservitards explain that?
