Nice capsulation of the State of Pro Sports business model.

For my liking, there's way too much hand-wringing over the loss of the Sonics. We need to say "good riddance" and "don't let the door hit you on the way out." If Pro Sports thinks we need them more than they need us, good luck with that.

Your brilliant friend Tom somehow comes across as more polite than you.

sports teams don't need subsidies and cities rarely make up the 400-500 million dollar investment in any way shape or form for building a new arena. you'd have to generate 30-40 million a year to break even in tax revenues before theyd want more subsidies to upgrade.

The Storm are having a great year, by the way. We've won all our home games so far. The games are really exciting with some of the best players in the sport (Sue Bird, Sheryl Swoops, Lauren Jackson) breaking records, kicking asses, and taking names. So if you really love the sport of basketball you can stop pouting and go support a team that was bought by a group of women (not billionaires by any stretch) who wanted to keep basketball a part of our city.

See you tomorrow night.

i agree carollani. the storm is on this year, ive attended two games so far and im seriously considering season tickets. man, i have to do something. the m's are atrocious, the sonics are gone, the rain wont stop.

i've always been a LJ fan, but have considered sue bird overrated, but she is on fire this year and swoops is the truth!

by the way feit, i liked your response better.

Aren't you supposed to be gone, Feet? Why are you Slogging again? No one hired you; I knew it. So much for you big "I'm outta here" speech....
