As many of you have heard Sonics owner Howard Schultz has sold the Seattle Sonics, and the WNBA's Seattle Storm to Oklahoma City Businessman Clay Bennett for 350 million dollars. Now the Sonics seem to be safe for now since their lease along with the storm runs till 2010. The Sonics are important to Seattle in my opinion for many reasons. They have given many people jobs during the season who otherwise would may very not have jobs, the team has helped the economy Seattle more than many businesses can say despite the amount of money lost by former owner Howard Schultz. Also Seattle has been a great franchise, though I do not live in Seattle I have always respected, and admired some of their many legendary players such as Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, Tom Chambers, Jack Sikma, Dale Ellis, as well as current players such as Ray Allen, and Rashard Lewis. Seattle has had some great moments from winning the 1979 NBA Championship, posting the league's best record in 1994, and winning the Western Conference Championship on two other occasions. They have always supported the Sonics from what I have seen, and I have had many friends from Seattle who are great fans, and would be very saddened if Seattle loses the Sonics.
I understand Oklahoma City is a great city, and they clearly do deserve a franchise especially the way they carried the Hornets during this past season.
I am not here or am starting this petition in anyway to block the Sonics from being sold to Mr.Bennent, but rather unite a great city to keep one of the great franchise's in the league to stay a little longer.

I can't believe the Sonics are leaving; Seattle is where the Sonics belong, they're a historic team, and moving them to Oklahoma City (of all places) is a disservice to the city of Seattle, the NBA's history and true basketball fans.

If this happens I am banning the NBA. I think that a boycott would be the most effective way to stop this from happening.

I'm only a casual NBA fan at this point with no particular allegiance to Seattle but I respect their fan base and what the franchise has done for the league and what it means to the city. This has to be stopped. BTW, I think OKC does deserve a team but NOT this way.

Don't let the NBA leave Seattle!!! -- It means a lot to kids, families, people in the community. Seattle is a great sports city -- it would be a great shame to watch them leave

Because it's the Seattle Supersonics. Why change after 40 years. There is no way that Oklahoma City could support the team the way Seattle has. It's history. It should not be changed.
