Oh, and 8 million within a 120 minute drive of Seattle. So what?

Darnell is sypathetic to the plight of Seattle fans. I’m not……Seattle is getting what they asked for. The sense of entitlement and superiority there is sickening.

Seattle wouldn’t build an arena……now they don’t have a team. Sounds fair to me.

Good to see some cooled nerves and empathy here. I’ve said in past comments that I wouldn’t want an NBA team jacked from OKC or anywhere else and brought here against the will of their loyal fans. It’s good to know that there are some in OKC who feel the same way. Expansion may be wearing a little thin but in this situation it oughta be made an option (give the NBA an even number of teams again too). However if this sort of thing continues I think EVERYONE needs to think twice about supporting this cutthroat league.

As far as “hopping on the enemy’s frequency” the reason I come here and comment is because I take issue with things being presented in such a consistently pro-OKC-relocation light. Ask DM and other bloggers/concerned citizens from OKC if they check out Seattle media and blogs to keep tabs on what’s going on on our end. Plenty of OKC folk have swung by Sonics sites and local news forums and given their two cents. That’s their right, as is this ours. For me personally, when something is posted in this blog that leaves the implication that the Sonics moving is a promising and/or inevitable conclusion, I have to speak up and disagree. Even if Darnell is just preaching to the choir as far as throwing out morsels of hope and justifiability, I feel I gotta let everyone know there’s more to the story than what he posts.

Plus anyone talking about Seattle deserving what it’s getting and having no options left to keep the team is just being smug.

(Guys, please watch your language. Thanks. -DM- )

and the original spelling of citys is roman catholic!! if you have the nerve to belittle someone. no the history. american english, is far from it!!

joey, if you’re going to talk about how superior seattle is, at least spell ‘cities’ correctly. i might be an uncultured hillbilly, but incorrect spelling is a pet peeve. c’mon, “citys?” you’re better than that. and i’m glad you’re supporting your team. good for you.

oh, and in about four years from now, when bennett asks for more money, it will suck. but what will oklahoma do? support our team, whoever the owner is. is it fair? no, but that’s the way it is. we’re willing to play ball. it’s too bad for you that things didn’t work out (so far, but i truly hope they stay in seattle), but stop blaming the people of oklahoma for doing what you will probably do in a few years to get another team.

i look forward to the day(ABOUT 4 YEARS FROM NOW) when clay bennett demands a brand new arena. welcome to the big leagues!!
