Thoughts on Sonics moving to OKC or staying in Seattle?

[Jameso]

I [censored] hate it when the owners of sports franchises try to stick the puclic for $500,000,000 and demand all of the economic benefit reaped from the new building. These dickwads bought the team and the lease that came with it, however unfavorable and unfair it may be. How much play is this getting outside of Seattle and OKC?

Other than being disgusted by Clay Bennett and his ownership group, I'm not emotionally vested in this thing. I stopped caring about the NBA after Larry Bird and Magic Johnson retired. While the thought of losing a franchise that has been here for 40 years doesn't make me happy, I wouldn't miss it. Losing it to a clown like Bennett increases the sting for me.

go to OKC and hire Bill Self as coach

I think it's really sad. The (Super)Sonics are one of the more storied franchises in league history. Oklahoma City? W.T.F.

Stuff like this makes me even more irritated at the hypocrisy and ignorance that keeps Vegas from getting a team.
