July 14, 2008...12 days after former Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels sold out our NBA basketball team, the SuperSonics to Oklahoma City, the City Council had a chance to rescind the deal...But chose to ignore the fact that they were selling out not only our city & our team for a mere $45 million dollars, but also our storied history to the robber barons from OKC. It's painful to watch, but will get you even more fired up and ready to act with your votes. Remember...7 out of these 9 are still serving in their same position and some are up for reelection soon. NEVER FORGET SONICS NATION!

  • I am a Trail Blazers fan but Seattle was hosed

  • They where negotiating for $45 Million dollars, when the city of Seattle only got $30 Million Dollars! Remember that the remaining $15 Million dollars would only be given, if the State of Washington did approved the renovation of the Key Arena, but since Washington legislature was aware of the Sonics leaving, they simply refused the renovation plan, so Seattle lost $15 Million dollars that Clay TRAITOR Bennett is now enjoying in his pockets!

  • @sltruong3 it was suppose to payoff the final two years of the Key arena lease for the Sonics

  • these people are dumb as fuck

  • Seattle can't do anything If a owner chooses to sell a team. Howard Shaultz is a private owner. Shaultz is a Jerk.

  • @BigBoss1991  NFLranking!?!

  • FOLLOW THE MONEY

  • I love that our city council just wanted the money...its so disgusting that these assholes run our city...

  • If the $45 million was so important to them... where exactly did the money go??
