The vote was a sham . It was 1) Key Arena or 2) Money for schools. So schools won the vote,

Never did they tell us the team would move..Never. Bennett is a lying pos, Please excuse my harsh abbreviations.

Pretty sweet catch at the end.

But, there is still more hate towards Clay Bennet and Oklahomans than there is towards Howard Shultz. If I was in the Seattle fans position, my hate would be more towards Howard Shultz, I would never buy Starbucks again, I would boycott Starbucks, cause Shultz knew what was gonna happen.  He's not a dumb businessman, he knew exactly what Bennet was up to. But that he wanted that 300 plus million for the team.

Seattle is a mid-market at best. According to Nielsen estimates, Seattle has 1.8 million tv viewers and Sac has 1.4 million. By the same estimates, Chicago has 3.5 million and NY and LA have 6 or 7 million. CHI, NY, LA are large markets.

Seattle can't support 5 teams, especially now that the Mariners have started their own RSN without Hansen. Hansen pitched his $40 million bullshit RSN revenue but that went down the toilet since it was contingent on him starting it himself.
