And the mayor of Sacramento is Hussein’s buddy.
Pro sports are THE major USA entertainment addiction. One of many, but it is the #1 addiction of ignorant Americans. Try to tell your average NFL fan no taxes for the benefit millionaires, let the owners and players build their own place of business. They’ll never hear you.
I could care less about the nba but I like sports...mustn’t forget that Sac. has a black mayor....they had the advantage of the race card....
The interesting thing is that the old Super Sonics went to the Mayor and city counil....begging for a new arena. The old place....was approaching twenty years old, but it just wasn’t in the top twenty things they were going to take on. What the team wanted were private seating areas for the VIPs and the ability to take profit off them.
So the city political leadership was in total shock as the team left. The hotels downtown suffered a fair amount on business lost. The only promise of the NBA was that a team would eventually return. I’m sure that the NBA has written a fairly huge demand for the new arena, to help the owners.
As for Sacramento? Well....they will be promised an NBA team in a decade. Maybe the Wizards?
What’s the gay angle to this story? If it involves the NBA there must be one...what am I missing?
I think it would be hilarious, and a thumb in the eye of the NBA if the Seattle ownership group put out a press release saying they were gay, and as such want the NBA to reconsider.
Funnier, if the NBA put out press release saying, “Well why didn’t you say so, of course you can move the Kings! . . .”
