Save [Y]our Sonics
If you’re an NBA fan, why aren’t you doing anything? One of the biggest travesties in the history of the NBA is going on right underneath our noses and no one seems to care. The Seattle Supersonics are being stolen from their city and fans and everyone seems resigned to the fact that they’re moving to the OKC. How can this happen to a team that has been in Seattle for 41 years, that has won an NBA championship, and that has produced stars such as Lenny Wilkens, Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, and Ray Allen? We’re holding congressional hearings for steroid use and nothing is being done about this?

as a long time jazz fan now living in Seattle, I can tell you I’ve never seen more apathetic crowds than at Sonics games. I was at the Jazz game up here last month, and in the first half, there were more people cheering for Utah than for the home team.
If the fans wanted the Sonics to stay, they’d have put together a huge grass roots following, like the Browns did in Cleveland years ago. Instead, they filed a lawsuit.
