“Las Vegas Radio Stations Boycott Green Day After Billie Joe Armstrong’s Controversial Remarks”

Two radio stations in Las Vegas have decided to ban Green Day from their playlists following a controversial remark made by the band's frontman, Billie Joe Armstrong. During a performance at Oracle Park in San Francisco on September 20, Armstrong expressed his discontent over the Oakland Athletics baseball team's relocation to Las Vegas, referring to the city as "the worst shithole in America." His comments sparked backlash, leading at least two local radio stations to remove Green Day's music from their rotation in response to the criticism aimed at the city. Armstrong's remarks were directed at John Fisher, the owner of the Athletics, highlighting the frustration of fans regarding the team's move.
