OKLAHOMA CITY MAYOR ON THE SONICS

Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornette appears to justify the endorsement of the 121 million dollar Ford Center upgrade/offsite practice facility, on taxpayers dollars, as higher priority issues are at hand. All for basketball.

Stealing" your team??..your city couldn't renovate Key Arena..that's why you "lost" your team.Oklahoma City is a nice place,Seattle fans wouldn't know..yes there was a tradition in Seattle and I feel bad for the fans,but don't get pissed at OKC..all yo had to do was renovate.

You're right, OKC did not "steal" them. Seattle could have kept the team there. But they were smart enough to realize that the millionaires from STARBUCKS should pay for the stadium renovation, not the Seattle tax payers...unlike OKC. Seattle tax payers stood up for themselves, even at the sacrifice of losing the Sonics. Millionaires are millionaires for a reason...they definately aren't stupid. Great job Clay.

You could have at least spelled Mick's last name correctly. This video is offensive. I invite you to visit Oklahoma City with an open mind (if you even have a mind) and see how nice the place really is.

There's probably a reason that a "parody" video is consistently misspelled...yes? I've visited Oklahoma City many times before I MOVED, AND NOW LIVE HERE. You're right it is a really nice place. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Point of the video...there are also many problems that Oklahomans face here, some more important than taxpayers forking out more money to millionaires. If Boone Pickens would have paid for the Ford Center, I'd be all about going to see the OKC Sonics.

I think its funny how you do a video making fun of someone, yet you can't even spell the Mayors name correctly. Nice job

[THEBLADERUNNERSHOW]

Seriously, that's your BEST comeback?

@slydawg221 No. Fluke is when a bad basketball team wins one or two games in the first round series. The Thunder are in the Western Conference Finals. That's no fluke. They are one of the NBA's four BEST teams!

[slydawg221]

@lambertj22 one word.... FLUKE!

[lambertj22]

Only Bladerunner would make a dumbass video like this. Typical.

[lambertj22]

@slydawg221 Thunder made the Western Conference Finals today. Mark it down!

[cochranexyz]

LOL. Start the clock on when whatever arena in OK City is deemed poor and must be renovated at the expense of the taxpayers or the team will move on to the next city.

@braydan69 Actually a private group put up $150 million of the necessary $300 to renovate. The city had approved $75 million so Bennet would have only needed $75 millilon for the renovation. Comparably, Staple Center in LA was built for $400 with only $70 million of tax money. Might want to get your facts straight.
