This is a case of Liberal Seattle and Conservative Oklahoma fighting over who did what to whom.
Sort of like what we can expect should (God Forbide) Obama becomes president.
The ultra liberal MSM has sided with Seattle as can ge gleaned from the various sources on the web. It involves some very big well know liberal names such as Microsoft executive Steve Ballmer, former RINO U.S. Sen. Slade Gorton, Starbucks owner Howard Schultz.
The law suit has turned nasty as can be seen by the way liberals fight for what they want.

Will be interesting to see how the judge rules in this case since she is a Sonics fan.
Most (and probably all) cities would play dirty to keep a sports team from leaving.
look, as a Washingtonian, please TAKE the damn Sonics and take them fast....the NBA may make a lot of money but most people do not give a rip......I want no more publically supported “private” sport teams and I don’t want to pay for anymore stadiums....
I don’t really care where the Sonics play, but what’s liberal about making a team honor its lease? I’m not big on cities putting the squeeze on teams, but that’s no worse than cities building new stadia under the threat of a move. I am glad that L.A. would not be extorted by the NFL.
Looks like tortitious interference by some of these Seattle parties.
Discovery is a bitch.
Heh. I saw the headline and thought the liberals were trying to get the NBA to give up keeping scores so “EVERYBODY is a winner!”
I’ve heard several people speculate that the ultimate series of events will have the Sonics in Oklahoma, and the Trailblazers in Seattle.
