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.
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.
because seattle is such a great sports city with a great history with the sonics. They don't belong anywhere else besides seattle. I, as a blazer fan, also know what it feels like to worry about getting screwed over by your owners.
because the Sonics are Seattle. It is unfair to the fans of this team that they will probably be ripped from the womb and moved to OKC because the city of Seattle screwed the franchise with poor revenue sharing and non-support of the team in other financual respects. I don't blame the recent ownership group (Shultz et al) for selling the team. However I do blame them for selling to a group that is obviously primed on moving them.
Why would we spend money to turn Key Arena into a new venue with no tenant and no viability when we could just use that money to keep the team and revenue?
the Sonics belong in SEATTLE. Always have, always will. 40 years with a new out of state owner doesn't change that. I've been a diehard Sonics fan over the past 14 years and I'm not letting my team go without a fight.
I've been cheering for the Sonics since I was 5 years old. My little brother is beginning to love them himself. Please Save my sonics. I'll cry if I lose them.
I was deeply saddened when the Hornets moved from Charlotte and do not want to have the same happen to the Seattle fans. I support keeping the Sonics in Seattle.
Its a basketball town. We all grew up with the sonics. Every franchise goes thourgh money problems. Lets not fold like a tent and move when we see the first signs of cash problems.
Keep the Sonics!!
The Seattle Sonics have always been my favorite team and I will always love and support their organization. If the Sonics relocate to another city, then the NBA will lose me as a fan. Lakers suck. GO SONICS!!!!!
