Oh, and worse yet, word's going round that the colors with be motherfucking RED WHITE AND BLUE.

Our one chance it be on the national sports radar for something other than the Sooners and they're completely fucking it up. I expected no less.

It will be some fail name, I can tell.

Especially since the man in OP's pic has the stereotypical corn belt haircut.

Just call them the Fightin' Farmers or the Rustlers and be done with it.

I'm from OKC and think the name is kinda funny, but I didn't live in this part of the state at the time and had no connection to anybody who died or was injured in the blast, so it would be easy for me to think it's funny. Some others, not so much.

I live in Seattle and tbh, pretty much nobody REALLY cares that the Sonics are leaving. Some people are like fuck cause they were ticketholders or some shit, some just actually followed the Sonics, but other than that, the general consensus is, 'Fuck yeah, less traffic on I-5." Nobody in Seattle gave two shits about the Sonics with the exception of 10 people.

But for what it's worth, Washington > Oklahomos in every aspect of sports excluding professional basketball. And college football. I'll give you that much.
Also, Bombers.

I hope that they call them selves the Oklahoma City Scinos (pronounced Sky-Noes) and then invert the Sonics colors so a couple of times a year there could be a bizzaro rivalry. Their mascot will be a flying Rhino, of course.

A lot of Seattlefags having been suggesting things like the Robbers, Sneakthieves and such, as if it's a bad thing.

Frankly, I'd be happy with anything that'd allow for a mascot that wears a stripey convict shirt with a racoon mack and carries a bag with a dollar sign on it.

seriously, greatest trampoline mascot- Dead Cobain, he looks like a Mupper Cobain, wearing furriny green sweater, a soft hypo in his mainline, he jumps on trampoline, dunks, then lands and yawns. Best part, before the all star break, muppet courtney can offer him a muppet shotgun. then he kills himself with muppet bullets. AND THEN MUPPET FRANCES BEAN APPEARS!!!!!

Seattlefag here.

Sonics may have sucked, but fuck you for leaving.

But I partly understand. The Key is a dump, but if you seriously think you _deserve_ to have the city pay for a new stadium, them you can kiss my ass. The city needs to spend money on police, not a failing basketball team.

The Sonics may suck at the moment, but they were Seattle's oldest and most successful franchise, yet the city wouldn't even chip in 75 million on Steve Ballmer's arena plan.

This is after shilling out 500 million for Safeco and 300 for Qwest.

Has Seattle's economy gone to shit in the last few years or something?

Unfortunately, we seem to spend money on shit that doesn't go anywhere. Case in point: monorail. For years I had my car registration fees through the roof, then they can the project and the millions they spent getting to FAIL were just gone.

There's a lot of reasons why Seattle wasn't going to build a new stadium. You can't refurb Key Arena. The area is too small and the surrounding area you won't be able to buy out, and retrofitting the current boxes is impossible, so it'd have to be new. No areas in Seattle to build an entirely new stadium except next to Safeco and Qwest in SODO, and Seattle has found that even with the two stadiums there, that neighborhood still sucks balls and hasn't been gentrified at all.

Ultimately, the best bet to keep the Sonics in the area was to have them relocate across the lake to Bellevue, but Bellevue is too white to want a basketball team, and they couldn't find any space for a stadium either. Land is stupid expensive now that the housing market took off (and was overspeculated and is overvalued but that's a discussion unto itself), so any new stadium around here would be silly expensive to fund.

Also, as I alluded to prior, there are way more important things to take care of in Seattle. Our police are some of the worst paid in the country, so any police officers around the area go to places like Renton, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, etc to get better jobs. Not enough police in the city, and we're having more crime because of it. Also, the viaduct will fall over any minute and people are still arguing as to what to do with it (multi-billion dollar project). Also, replacement of the 520 bridge, blah blah blah.

So, as I was saying, I'm sad to see you go Sonics, but LOL at OKC for taking them. Good luck, no one will go to your games.

Thanks. I'd been wondering why Seattle was so reluctant to fund anything, even for the local ownership long before Bennett came along.

Now I wonder if Ballmer's offer will be put back on the table now in hopes of luring another team. The city is getting a 75 million settlement, which is convenietly the same amount that he wanted in public funding.

Also, as an OKCfag, I think the Sonics will do fairly well here. Not as well as they would in Seattle with a new arena, obviously, but we'll hopefully be more of a SLC market than a Memphis.

From http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3471695

>Commissioner David Stern sent the city a warning Wednesday, saying officials have less than 18 months to come up with a funding plan for a KeyArena renovation if there's hope of an NBA return within five years.

Fuck David Stern and fuck the NBA. I hope the city tells him to shove that funding plan right up his ass. Pompous faggot. I can't wait until this starts happening in other cities.

Seconded. But with Nickels being busy with his idiotic little pet projects (illegally banning firearms for those people who have actually gone trough background checks and openly breaking state law in the progress just so he has something to show his butt buddy Bloomberg and fucking with traffic lights), he obviously doesn't have time to bother with such nonsense as running the goddamn city.

too bad we were consistently selling out or coming close to selling out Hornets games even when they had a losing record.


It does sound like Seattle has better ways to spend the money, but then why on earth did the city give almost a billion combined for the Mariners and Seahawks stadiums? also, lol monorail.

Because Seattle is both a smaller big city and (probably) the palest/least urbanized big city in the US. Hence, them spending on two major sports, but not putting up the big bucks for Arena Niggerball.
