The frontman was performing a show at San Francisco’s Oracle Park earlier in the month (September 20), when he expressed his disapproval that his hometown baseball team, the Oakland A’s, are moving to Las Vegas.
Taking shots at the team’s owner, according to San Francisco Bay Area news station KRON4, the punk-rock singer said: “We don’t take shit from people like fucking John Fisher.” He added: “I hate Las Vegas. It’s the worst shithole in America.”
The comments haven’t gone down too well with Las Vegas radio stations, with KOMP 92.3 writing on Instagram: “KOMP 92.3 has pulled any and all Green Day from our playlist. It’s not us, Billie…it’s you. #vegas4ever.”
