Los Angeles Angels fans once took their anger to the streets, but the mood changed dramatically after owner Arte Moreno left the club.
In mid-May, a group of male fans removed their shirts outside Angel Stadium and shouted at Moreno, demanding that he sell the team. For a week, fans also protested in the stadium parking lot while wearing shirts marked “Sell the team.”
Moreno’s departure was greeted with the kind of celebration usually reserved for a championship. The headline describes the sale as delivering him a return of roughly 21 times his investment, a detail that adds another layer to supporters’ reaction.
The story presents the change in ownership as a long-awaited release for Angels fans, who had publicly made their demand clear: “Sell the team.”
