Arena news tomorrow? 

Post#1 » by CatchNShoot » Tue Jan 15, 2008 1:58 am

Supersonicsoul predicts arena news could come as soon as tomorrow.

http://www.supersonicsoul.com/

After the Seahawks were totally embarrassed on Saturday, a lot of fans were trying to cheer themselves up by saying, "Well at least we have the Superson...uh...the Marin...uh...the Husk...uh...the Cougars! And in the words of the immortal Groz, "And that's NOT good if you're a Husky fan...Definitely, definitely not a good thing at all."

So any news is good news at this point.

I followed the link and LOL'd at the list of reasons to shell out $300 million. Good stuff right there.

Looks like Frank Chopp is not going to help with anything.

For state house speaker Frank Chopp the new session of the Legislature is all about

Is OKC taking a shot at Seattle with this name?

Meanwhile, they also have an opposition group called "MAPS for Millionaires."

OKC is kind of like Seattle 40 years ago. They're hungry to get to the next level. Seattle was once that way, but now it's fat, complacent, and bureaucratic.

^Why would he? He doesn't want to stay in Seattle. He's going to refuse anything that comes his way until he's blue in the face. I wouldn't be surprised if he turned down a new arena build these days. He'll find something that doesn't meet his "standards" and reject it.

How can people put up with this injustice

How can people put up with this injustice?
These Oklahoma investors come along with no intention to keep the Sonics in Seattle. They even had one admit it. That is a huge conflict of interest. If Stern were to agree that "Yes, Seattle is not supporting the Sonics and you can move the team to anywhere other than Oklahoma" Then fine. But to have the owners hope and pray that Seattle doesn't come up with a legit plan to save the Sonics is absurd. This is an outrage, not to just the people of Seattle but to how things are done in general in the NBA. Conflict of interest!!
