Text Quotes
I like playing for Oakland, they have a very colorful uniform  (Oakland Quotes) I was born in San Francisco. I was raised in Oakland, so I’m, like, super Bay Area born, and, you know, it’s just really multicultural up there, and there’s a lot of subcultures just from, like, anything, like from rockabilly to, like, crazy punk scenes to, you know, a huge rap scene, and there’s just all kinds of things you can do out there.  (Oakland Quotes) Oakland is home, and you always want to go home. Anytime you get the chance, you’re happy to go home.  (Oakland Quotes) At first glance, an alliance of anarchists and government might appear to be somewhat paradoxical. But the formal convergence in Oakland makes explicit the movement’s aims: They’re anarchists for statism, wild free-spirited youth demanding more and more total government control of every aspect of life - just so long as it respects the fundamental human right to sloth.  (Oakland Quotes) Oakland Technical High School. Like any high-school experience, it was ambiguous. I was shy with girls; I had friends, but there were times I didn’t feel I had the right friends. My grades were only so-so.  (Oakland Quotes) Oakland’s time is coming. In fact, Oakland’s time is already here. Tech is coming to Oakland, and it’s terribly exciting.  (Oakland Quotes) What I loved the most about Oakland was that all of my neighbors came in as many colors, ideas, and religions as there are people on the planet. How lucky I was to know so many people that were so different and yet so much alike!  (Oakland Quotes) I majored in Computer Science at U.C. Berkeley and worked as a software developer for a couple of years. Then I taught high school computer science for over a decade and a half in Oakland, California.  (Oakland Quotes) The murder rate in Chicago is skyrocketing, and you see who’s doing it and perpetrating it - they all look like Chief Keef. When it comes to the point that, you know, that kids who are doing the killings, and they’re kids 13 to 19 years old, and you can replicate that in New Orleans, you can replicate that in Oakland. All the kids look the same.  (Oakland Quotes) Growing up in Oakland, we did things like white t-shirt, blue jeans and Nikes. That was my get down, how I was going to rock. And if you look at me right now, I’m pretty much black tee, blue jeans and some sneakers.  (Oakland Quotes) Before playing football, I didn’t fit in anywhere. My parents didn’t have a lot of money, which they spent on our education to send us to Catholic private school in Oakland, mostly black. The other kids had more money than I did. I started school early; I was young. So I’d come back to my hood and read.  (Oakland Quotes) The Oakland A’s, I loved all my teammates there. I loved all the coaches. They gave me the opportunity to play in the big leagues. And for that, I thank them. I mean it was a dream come true for me.  (Oakland Quotes) Being from Oakland, you see a lot of thing. You see friends turn on friends all the time. You see family turn on family.  (Oakland Quotes) If I win and get the money, then the Oakland Police department is going to buy a boys' home, me a house, my family a house, and a Stop Police Brutality Center  (Oakland Quotes) For people who know both New York and the Bay Area, it is a complement to say that Oakland is San Francisco’s Brooklyn. It’s a complement both to Oakland and to Brooklyn. And, if you look at Brooklyn, Brooklyn is hot; Brooklyn is cool.  (Oakland Quotes) In high school, I worked at The Video Room in Oakland, California. It had the largest selection of laser discs in the Bay Area. One guy owned all of them.  (Oakland Quotes) My dream was to play football for the Oakland Raiders. But my mother thought I would get hurt playing football, so she chose baseball for me. I guess moms do know best.  (Oakland Quotes) When I was traded from the Oakland A’s to the Atlanta Braves before the 2005 season, a childhood dream was realized. I grew up a Braves fan just a few hours south of Atlanta, and it was hard for me to believe that I was going to actually play for the Atlanta Braves and legendary manager Bobby Cox.  (Oakland Quotes) Randy Moss is not a leader. He doesn’t deserve to be the captain of the Oakland Raiders. He’s the one who said he wanted to be traded. He’s not happy. His effort is lacking. That’s a disgrace to the uniform. I don’t care what uniform you have on  (Oakland Quotes) I started with the Oakland A’s back in 1971 and there was press at every game and there were cameras on me when I was that young. So with 20 years being MC Hammer, I’m comfortable with cameras so when the camera goes on, I continue doing what I’m doing  (Oakland Quotes) Night baseball isn’t an aberration. What’s an aberration is a team that hasn’t won a World Series since 1908. They tend to think of themselves as a little Williamsburg, a cute little replica of a major league franchise. Give me the Oakland A’s, thank you very much. People who do it right  (Oakland Quotes) In Oakland, Al Davis was a genius. We had Ron Wolff there, too, and he was a genius. There was no room for me to be a genius  (Oakland Quotes) I live in Brooklyn, New York, and hail from the ‘East Bay,’ Oakland, CA  (Oakland Quotes) I’m from Oakland and San Francisco, so I feel like the Pacific Northwest starts there and goes north - so, it’s home to me  (Oakland Quotes) Oakland is home, and you always want to go home. Anytime you get the chance, you’re happy to go home  (Oakland Quotes)
