Oklahoma City SuperSonics of Seattle


Yes, it sounds about as absurd well as about anything!  I understand business is business and there were all sorts of financial issues with Key Arena in Seattle, but this is just going to be a huge mess for everyone involved.  How do the players feel as their homes and families have to be moved entirely to another city?  And what about the diehard fans in the city of Seattle and the state of Washington?  I mean they've been in enough pain having to follow the awful slump the Mariners have currently been in.  The most comical thing of the whole ordeal is the man who had a chance to keep the franchise in the area for atleast a few more years.  Howard Schultz, chairman of Starbucks and former owner of the team sold the franchise in 2006.  Left the team in awful shape and did nothing to sure up the contracts left with the arena.  Can't wait to see the sudden coffee revolt in Seattle.  People lining outside the doors of Starbucks not for coffee, but to have their five seconds with Mr. Schultz.  This could have a domino effect on every Starbucks in the country.... O DEAR!!! What would life be without a $5 chocolate mocha latte grande???  Hopefully we'll never have to find out.
