How about those classy supersonic fans at the portland/okc game?

Seattle fans mini protests are no longer an issue for me. Old news. These folks and others may want to keep the vitriol alive, but I for one have moved on. Let those in Seattle or anywhere else continue the pity party all by themselves.

dcsooner, that's the best description I have seen yet; "the pity party," you hit the nail on the head with that observation.

Seattle won't be getting the Kings, anyway.

It's kind of ironic, the fans and posters on the ESPN NBA Oklahoma City & NBA in Seattle Times forums who are anti-Thunder have held themselves to the morals that they wouldn't hyjack another city's NBA franchise as did Oklahoma City (via C. Bennett, M. Cornett, H. Schultz, D. Stern) and now they are saying, well it's business and if Sacramento or New Orleans can't support the NBA, they can. Oh, how quickly those with high-morals and standards change their positions to justify the current agenda.

Seattle has one major problem with getting their new arena built; they have to have committments from both the NBA and the NHL for the proposed arena (mostly privately funded) to become reality. The biggest problem with getting those committments has to do with the fact that Seattle would become an overextended market because they don't have the dollars in their market to support MLB, NFL, NBA & NHL. They could bring in one of the indoor franchise but not both.

A fair number of the Seattle fans have a similar complex as the LA fans did/does with the NFL about there market being too good for the Leagues to ignore irrespective of how teams operate.

I saw atleast two people with Seattle Sonics shirts on tonight at the game. Where did that come from?

There are a few every so often. There's someone who sits near me in Section 120 from time to time who wears one. I suspect they moved here from Seatlle or were Supersonics fans pre-Thunder.

There is also a small contingent that do it to protest the team being moved but that is more likely to happen in Portland or California games due to the proximity.
