Stuart Sternberg clearly does not care all that much about the Rays and the city that they play in. In a press conference on June 25th, 2019, Sternberg said that Tampa Bay doesn't deserve a baseball team by itself, and that their fans can't maintain a successful franchise. Meanwhile, Sternberg himself just moved to Tampa Bay last week, and claims that the fans are the problem. So, by signing this petition, it would show Stuart Sternberg and Rays fan haters that 1) The Rays do indeed have fans, and 2) that an owner that actually cares about the team would see that the obvious decision is to move the team across the Bay to Tampa, where the majority of the fans are.
