Comments on: Clay Bennett Speaks http://blog.newsok.com/nbainokc/2007/08/25/clay-bennett-speaks/ The Oklahoman's Mike Baldwin blogs the NBA Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:50:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: jan sullivan http://blog.newsok.com/nbainokc/2007/08/25/clay-bennett-speaks/comment-page-1/#comment-3989 jan sullivan Tue, 24 Feb 2009 06:44:49 +0000 http://blog.newsok.com/nbainokc/2007/08/25/clay-bennett-speaks/#comment-3989 Clay Bennett needs to step up and be a man. He has refused to afford the Thunder DanceTeam the credit for all the hard work they do, including 3-4 hour practices at least 4 times per week, arriving 3-4 hours in advance for every home game. They attend promotional events, take photos with fans and sign sutographs. He has refused to support these girls with even a meal before the games. They have no time to sit down during the games because they are out on-court, cheering, dancing. He can afford to buy a professional basketball team but he cant adequately support this very vital part of this franchise. The players are unreachable to fans but the DanceTeam, Drummers, Mascot are always there for the fans and members of this Oklahoma community. Stand up and do what is right for these very dedicated, hard working athletes! If he doesn't take care of everyone who work so hard for him, the fans may not support him for very long. We are a people who do the right thing for their fellow man. Are you truly an Oklahoman, Mr. Bennett? Clay Bennett needs to step up and be a man.

If that is the case, why would Clay tell Loyal Seattle Sonics employee's that OKC is ready to drop 100's of millions to get the team to Oklahoma? weird.

I live in Seattle and have been a Sonics fan since the late 70's. We are not in denial, we know there is a very real chance the team will leave. We are just at a point where we know the city won't come up with the $500 million ransom Clay is looking for and we need to find a way to keep this team where it belongs. That isn’t true.

They all say the governor will step in and block the move. As an Okie living in Washington, the locals are in a state of denial, they dont think there is any chance the Sonics will leave.
