Seattle Sonics minority owner and public enemy #1 Aubrey McClendon brilliantly said that the intention for Seattle was to move the team to Oklahoma City. According to the AP, McClendon said.......
"We know it's a little more difficult financially here in Oklahoma City, but we think it's great for the community and if we could break even we'd be thrilled," he told the newspaper, also saying he was "under a self-imposed gag order" in regards to the business end of the Sonics.
Retard.
I think he forgets that if the Sonics continue to struggle once they make their move to OK City, the fan base is going to drop. If the fan base drops, the Sonics franchise will be no longer. Seattle is a small market, it's tucked up 200 miles away from Canada, but it's the city in which they have been thriving for 40 years.
McClendon continued is idiotic rambling by saying this.....
McClendon said Oklahoma City has a "can-do spirit" and a supportive fan base.
"This is a sports town; nobody ever knew it was a pro sports town. I think it is," he said.
On the flip side, he said he doesn't feel Seattleites have the same enthusiasm.
"They take pride in Seattle not needing a NBA team to be considered a world-class city. That's probably true, they don't," he said.
Thank you Sherlock.
So brace yourselves Seattleites, see the Sonics 41 more times, because it'll be the last 41 times. I just wonder why literally every Seattle sports franchise has threatened to move?
