July 3, 200818 yr I've been watching the news conferences from Seattle and OK City regarding the Sonics settlement for the last half hour. The press conference that the Mayor and City Commission of Seattle is not one that anyone in those positions down here wants to go through. The powers that be in Seattle dragged their feet on arena renovations for years, their owner (who I blame more than the government, by the way) ended up selling to Clay Bennett from OK City and now the team and 41 years of city history gone. The team is moving operations from Seattle starting tomorrow morning. The Mayor now has to explain why he settled a lawsuit to keep the team in town for $45mil with no guarentee of a franchise returning. The scary thing is, this can easily be the Marlins. Get shovels in the ground already and avoid this....... Once the press conferences end, I'll post the link to the videos. Can someone with the commissioners' and other officials' email addresses pass it along to show them what they absolutely do not want?

Miami already has enough negative things to worry about, nevermind problems in Seattle.... :notworthy
