Sonics fans must be really pissed right now

[BRHornet45]

and son I didn't even mention the 49ers in the above post because well ... they aren't even worth counting to be honest. lol at you claiming them though.

[symple19]

and sons this man is about the BEST EXAMPLE of a "front runner" that anyone can ask for.

he claims to be a SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS Spurs fan

he claims to be a SAN FRANSISCO, CALIFORNIA Giant fan

he claims to be a AUBURN, ALABAMA Tiger fan

son what are your personal connections to these teams? ... considering they are all spread out throughout the country and both the Giants and Auburn Tigers recently won les. son please explain yourself before you wreck yourself. k

Okay son, I've explained this before and will do so again

Giants/Niners - Dad is from NoCal, raised me to pull for these teams. Been on this site 3 years and have pulled for the Giants, way before they won a le. people know this. I also live by the bay for 6 years

Auburn - where do you think I went to school, dip ? Also spent more time there growing up than anywhere else (My Dad was Air Force, so we moved alot)

Spurs - No real connection, although I was born in Texas. Loved D-Rob and became a Spurs fan when they drafted him. (87')


I have never wavered from any of these teams, the entire time I've been on this site.

What about the Avalanche?

And yes, baseball sucks

okla fans > seatle fans

Sonics fans were loud too

[IronMexican]

I didn't see Seattle supporting that team when it sounded like they were on their way out that last year. I don't get why people feel so sorry for them. It's like people feeling sorry for LA losing a team. Both cities deserve another chance. but they didn't want to approve new stadiums, and the fans weren't showing up for their games.

Why do you think Seattle lost their NBA team? Just curious.

[The Gemini Method]

I've been to the Key Arena for a Sonics/Lakers game and it wasn't the worst stadium I've went to. That award goes to Qualcomm in S.D. It doesn't have the modern amenities that most pro sports covet. I think it was a case of; let's build Qwest and SafeCo., but stop the spending on a new bball arena. I thought they were going to rennovate Key?

[Ashy Larry]

the player are probably happier to be in OKC because traveling from Seattle to the East Coast is brutal ........... OKC is centralized.

That is true, but the Plains can be brutal during the tornado/t-storm season. That much is true...

Seattle, though, is a much, much, more entertaining city than OKC is and that is probably more important to the players than location in relation to travel.

[jacobdrj]

...which the city of seattle didn't want to pay for because no one was going to games.

I am NEVER a fan of a municipality funding a sports arena. Ever. Loan, maybe, but never EVER taxpayer funding. And CERTAINLY not [ab]use of Eminent Domain...

Seattle was supporting their team in proportion to how well the team was doing. But because the owner was able to con some tax base into giving them money for an arena, they left.

Seattle fans should be ticked off. They should be wanting a team back, preferably an established one from a place that isn't attending games at a reasonable rate per performance.

I think it was an arena issue coupled with a string of mediocrity/low attendance.

Additionally, Stern probably could've done better to ensure that any new group coming in wanted to actually keep the team there.

You can't really blame Seattle taxpayers for not wanting to spring for another new facility. Both Qwest field and SafeCo were publicly funded as well, and had been built within 10 years of the time when the Sonics moved.

IN a nuts , it was about the $$$$, as these things almost always are

idk about that

Seattle is one of the best cities in the US, imho

[symple19]

I can't imagine anyone on earth would be happier living in OKC than Seattle unless you're allergic to rain.

In defense of Seattle, they just built TWO new arenas/ballparks. Plus, the new arena for the Sonics was going up against a bond to help fund/build/renovate Seattle schools. Seattle was robbed. Once the team was sold to the OKC guy, everyone knew they were moving.

Damn BR, son, I do believe you just got shat on texmex style...

[Darthkiller]

seattle deserved what they got, they didnt want to build a new arena, they have no right to cry about it

Unless the citizens get an ownership stake in the team, the citizens shouldn't have to pay for an arena for a billionaire.

The citizens pay non-ownership admission prices in terms of tickets, which they were doing at a reasonable level given their team's performance...

[TDMVPDPOY]

the guy that sold the sonics, doesnt he own fkn starbucks or some ?

seattle built stadium for football and baseball, they didnt want to build one for basketball, they obviously didnt care if the team leaves or not

I guess it just took a while for the government in Seattle to realize how dumb it was...

I am not saying that it is inequtable. I am saying it should never happen. They built a stadium for the Tigers and Lions here in Detroit too... I still wish they hadn't. Bill Davidson built the Palace of Auburn Hills with his own money and did quite well for himself.

[JoeTait75]

You really expect Sonics fans to sell out every game when their owner was blatantly scheming to move the team?

When they had good ownership and played in the Kingdome they led the NBA in attendance on more than one occasion. The fans weren't the problem. They got screwed. That team never should have moved.

[Jodelo]

Key Arena is a dump and a joke of an "Arena". I don't blame the NBA for wanting them to leave it. if anyone has ever been to Key Arena then you can vouch for this. that place is a total dump and falling apart. there are rumors that many city officials have bribed the fire department to pass the arena on numerous safety violations throughout the arena that otherwise would have failed.

Ok, who logged in as BRHornet45? It´s not his post obviously without "sons".
