The issue isn't even a same-day conflict. The baseball game is on Saturday. But apparently it requires around 24 hours to change the stadium from baseball to football.
So what it comes down to is baseball being unwilling to move its game up a few hours on Saturday, I assume because of ratings. Though swapping it with the Red Sox game, seems like it would help the ratings of the Red Sox game (at the expense of the West coast ratings of the A's game?)
Then again, the only people who might get "screwed" with this accommodation are Raiders and Chargers fans who live on the East coast, and who won't be able to (or want to) stay up until 3 AM to see the end result.
In short, not much skin off of not many backs.
