Overview

  • A fan-organized demonstration gathered outside Angel Stadium on Saturday, May 24, as supporters chanted for owner Arte Moreno to sell the team.
  • The protest grew from a viral Instagram flyer posted on the account Angelsboycott by Johnny Gonzalez that drew roughly 800,000 views and helped coordinate in-stadium chants earlier in the week.
  • Estimates of turnout vary across reports, with descriptions ranging from about 100 participants to organizers saying hundreds had planned to attend.
  • Organizers and fans said their goals are to force a sale or prompt greater investment and they pledged to continue public pressure; there was no reported response from Moreno or an announced sale.
  • Reporting links the protests to long-running team decline and off-field controversies, noting Moreno bought the club in 2003, the Angels have not had a winning record since 2015, and the team recently settled with Tyler Skaggs’s family.
