Part 4/7:
The response to Fisher's letter has been overwhelmingly negative across various platforms. Critics argue that for years Fisher has avoided engaging with the community and fans. For example, local broadcaster Larry Beal called out the disparity between Fisher's professed desire to connect with fans and the practical reality of his actions, namely his absence and lack of communication during critical moments.
In fact, many fans have echoed sentiments that Fisher's letter is more about damage control than a genuine gesture of appreciation. They point to the fact that the letter, rather than truly addressing the disappointment and bitterness over the team's departure, resorts to vague platitudes and unrealistic optimism that Oakland fans would continue to support the team in Las Vegas.
