Only two teams voted against the Bennett/Stern move to OKC - Portland and Dallas.

I can't imagine OKC being a better location for a team than Seattle, but if they get 100% revenue from the Arena there; as opposed to 50% in Seattle, it is a better deal for Bennett financially.
if anyone wants to live in a totalitarian society, be my guest, I am sure China and Cuba will put you to good use!

This is not about the revenue or the money. This is about a millionaire who wants a team in his hometown and doesn't care if he needs to hijack an historical team from a great city. We should approve this childish dream just because this is america and businessman do whatever they want? I say no, sorry.
Also, if this is Business America, can someone explain me why the citizens are supposed to pay for a new Arena?
