People talk about the Cleveland sports curse, but are people overlooking the Oakland sports curse
It's not like we have a tradition of winning either
Sharks still have a chance
>>68222946
>Sharks
>Oakland
San Jose isn't even the Bay Area, bro
>>68222968
Nigger San Jose is in the bay area. I guess what your trying to say though is that the Sharks arent even in Oakland.
>>68223008
How is San Jose the Bay Area? Most of San Jose doesn't even touch the Bay
San Jose is more Silicon Valley than Bay Area. 40 years ago, San Jose was no different than Salinas
>>68222923
What curse though? You mean Championship drout? Athlerics and Raiders havent won one since the 80s but I wouldnt call it a curse.
A's, last World Series title: '89
Raiders, last Super Bowl: '83
Warriors, last NBA chip: 2015
Indians, last World Series title: 1948
Browns, last Super Bowl: never
Cavaliers, last NBA chip: never
Why are califags such whiny little bitches?
>>68223068
A's and Raiders are also teetering on relocation
>>68223047
South Bay dude. The bay area consists of 9 counties Alameda Contra Costa Marin Nappa San Francisco San Mateo Santa Clara Solano and Sonoma. San jose is in Santa Clara county. Silicon Valley is in the bay area bro just cinsidered the south bay
>>68223163
The culture of San Jose is completely different than SF or Oakland.
San Jose is typical suburbia, while SF/Oakland is pretty urban
SJ is corporate and conformity, SF/Oakland aren't
>>68223278
What does that have to do with a city being in the bay? Thats the great thing about the bay heck California jn general each city town or village has their own unique culture. But it has nothing dondo with them being considered beong in the bay or not.
>>68223643
But lets be real: San Jose feels completely different than San Francisco or Oakland. Culturally, climatically, economically, politically and otherwise
Most of San Jose doesn't touch the Bay either
Why does the Bay Area have two baseball and football teams?
>>68223962
By 2020, there'll only be 1 team in each
Raiders to Vegas
A's to Portland
>>68223643
Your absolutley right about the difference in cities. But areas like San Leandro Fremont Union City are part of the bay but they dont touch the bay at all.
The corn curse
>>68223962
Two different divisions two different markets
>>68223962
its a big ass market
>>68224655
>6th largest
>big
LOL. Dallas nor Philly have 2 teams
>>68224655
11th biggest metro area by population
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Metropolitan_Statistical_Areas#United_States
The only other metro areas with 2 teams are New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, which are the Top 3 largest metro areas
There is literally no justification for the Bay Area to have two baseball and two football teams
>>68223069
Because Da Bay is shit
>>68225450
technically The Niners play in th San Jose metro area now
dude whats up with these san jose niggas thinking their not part of the bay? Nobody says shit like that in real life. Only special snowflakes in 4chan says dumb shit like that.
durrr it doesn't even touch the bay durrr
durrr the culture is different than SF durrr
>>68225450
they have san jose/santa clara as a separate metro area that's why which has another 2 million people.
>>68225674
Still only bumps them up to #6, behind Dallas and Houston
But yeah, at that point, I'm getting autistic
>>68225590
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metropolitan_areas_of_the_United_States
Am I trippin but this says the Bay Area is the 5th largest
>>68225674
San Jose is its own metro area
How many people commute to San Francisco?
Here's a good test: what do most people
In the area think of when they hear "I'm going to downtown"
Most people in San Francisco or Oakland think of Downtown San Francisco
In San Jose it's Downtown San Jose
>>68222923
East Bay sports fan my whole life. The A's got sooooo close a couple years ago. If they wouldn't have traded Cespedes I truly think they would've made it to the World Series. The Raiders are looking pretty good on paper right now. If they make it one game in the playoffs I would be happy. The Warriors... as far as I'm concerned, they won the championship when they beat OKC.
>>68225937
When I used to live in the east bay, my dad commuted to San Jose. And I have family in San Jose that commute to SF and Oakland.
>>68225937
>Here's a good test: what do most people
>In the area think of when they hear "I'm going to downtown"
That's a fucking stupid test
>>68226147
Exactly. People in Oakland still talk about Downtown Oakland. If they're going to SF they say "The City".
>>68226188
No...most people think of SF in the SF-Oakland area when you say "downtown"
Oakland doesn't really have a downtown
>>68223069
Didn't the Browns win in the 60s
>>68226228
WTf? Are you delusional? OF COURSE Oakland has a downtown! As someone who has his roots in the East Bay, everyone I know says they're going to The City if they're going to SF. Downtown means downtown Oakland. Fox Theater, Lake Merrit, etc. are all in Downtown Oakland. Warriors had their parade in Downtown Oakland.
>>68226147
Then why does the census consider San Jose it's own metro area?
Any destination of CAL or BART is considered part of the Bay.
>>68226307
Because the federal government is fucking retarded. San Jose is South Bay, Oakland is East Bay, San Francisco is West Bay.
>>68226303
Oakland has a downtown like most suburbs in America have a downtown
It doesn't mean it has anything major in terms of commerce or anything. Downtown is strictly downtown SF.
>>68226247
Which is why he said Super Bowl, not NFL Championships
>>68226407
Where are you from? I can GUARANTEE you that people in the Bay Area call SF The City, not downtown.
>>68226303
Ugly ass city desu.
>That skyline
I thought California was supposed to be aesthetic?
>>68222923
The Warriors are a San Fransisco team
>>68226329
Except that Pitts/Bay line. The fuck is all that about. They can hit those 'who fucking cares' destinations, but can't but the BART down to SJ. The fuck.
>>68226478
Uhhhh no. They play in Oakland. In the same complex as the A's and Raiders.
>>68226443
Same thing though
>>68226507
Nah. Oakland niggers are not welcome
>>68226464
Not who you are talking to, but 'the city' means lit. anything that is considered San Francisco city. I could be going to the Marina, and it would still be 'the City'.
If people are talking about something comparable to 'downtown', they'll say 'Market' rather than 'the City'.
You fuck bois sounds like faggots bickering over this shit though.
>>68226478
SF just claims them like a Baltimore resident rooting for the Capitals
>>68226466
Eh. Oakland is Oakland. It's supposed to be ugly. That's what give it its character!
>this fucking thread again
Hahaha. So many autists on this thread.
>>68226666
Now, if you physically went to Oakland, San Francisco, and San Jose, one of those cities won't be like the others
Can you take a guess which one it will be?
Just any random SF street, random Oakland street and random San Jose street
>>68226758
They will have the same people just different buildings/architecture/landscape.
>>68226809
Oakland and SF don't look all that different from each other.
San Jose definitely looks different
Oakland and SF also has black people
San Jose does not.
>>68226820
Sj and oakland look more like each other than oakland and sf do
>>68226820
San Jose, Oakland and San Francisco are part of the same geographical region, the Bay Area. That cultural "Bay Area" gay shit is subjective and arbitrary.
>>68226758
They're all different and have different characteristics. Marin is the Bay Area and is significantly different than the rest of the Bay Area.
I'm starting to think that this "san jose is not part of the bay area" is one autist who goes into all bay area related threads just to spew out his nonsense.
Advice to any outsiders who are thinking on visiting the bay area, don't go around saying dumb stuff like "san jose is not part of the bay area." You will be laughed at. I'm dead serious too.
This is like sacramento folk claiming they're part of the bay.
>>68226883
Yep. Marin is different to Oakland is different to San Jose is different to San Francisco is different to Napa. Everything is different in the Bay Area, but it's all still the Bay Area.
>>68226883
what? marin county is different than sf and the east bay?!
Uh, that means they're not part of the bay. Clearly, the bay area is defined by sf and oakland only. I mean, do black people even exist in marin county? Clearly, its the same as san jose and everyone knows san jose is not part of the bay.
:^)
>>68226932
Well, didn't Tupac live in Marin City? That place has a bunch of nogs
>>68226483
Yeah I honestly consider SJ more the Bay Area than shitholes like Antioch
>>68226944
as many nogs in marin as there are in san jose, so not part of the bay DUH!
Vallejo and Napa are nothing like SF as well boviously can't be part of the bay like good ol san jose.
check mate atheists
I'm going to get shit for this, but I don't think San Francisco is part of the SF Bay Area. It is culturally different than the rest of the Bay Area. It's Architecture is different. The racial makeup is different. Its commerce is different. Therefore, SF isn't really in the SF Bay Area.
I grew up in Berkeley.
San Jose isn't the Bay Area. It's not full of counter-culture like the rest of the Bay is
>>68226965
Or when people in Cen Valley cities like Tracy or Modesto claim to be part of the Bay.
>>68227060
Neither is Napa.
>>68227060
a nuke should be dropped in berkeley tbqhwy
>>68227060
That's like saying Becerley Hills and South Central can't both be in LA because one is crime ridden and the other is posh.
I love how everybody is debating geography in a /sp/ thread. What have we become?!?
>>68227085
I've literally never heard this.
t. Central valleyfag
A lot of people here are from the bay, but nobody thinks we're apart of the bay
>>68227167
Except Beverly Hills and South Central are united behind a common SoCal culture
San Jose and the Bay Area, not so much.
>>68227250
I live in the Central Valley too (born and raised in the BA) and there I have heard some people who live in Tracy and Modesto actually claim to be an extension of the Bay Area. It's ridiculous.
>>68223278
Marin is way more suburban than San Jose and it's 100% part of the bay area
>>68227253
Except San Jose is part of the Bay Area so San Jose culture is part of Bay Area culture. Napa is agriculturally based, but it's still part of the Bay Area. Just like Beverley hills is about luxury, nice living, famous living and South Central is about rough living, gang culture, and hood life, but according to you still form a common SoCal culture.
>>68227312
>modesto
I'll personally shitslap those people.
People from Tracy are just methed up retards, I think the bay starts as soon as you get over the altamont pass.
>>68227399
I consider the Altamont to be the border as well. As soon as I see the BART tracks on 580.
I see your city, raise you a damn state
