Clay Bennett bought the Seattle SuperSonics with the intent of moving it to his hometown of Oklahoma City. Everyone knows this, yet he continues to lie:
Bennett testified Tuesday that he was a "man possessed" to keep the team in Seattle -- despite e-mails that show he and co-owners discussed relocating soon after buying the team. He cited his efforts to have a new arena built in the Seattle suburbs.
Why destroy the NBA in Seattle, which has been a good city for the league? Why not buy a team that gets crappy support (not that they've had good teams to cheer for), like Memphis, Charlotte, Atlanta, or until this year, New Orleans?
(By the way, can anyone spot the geographic trend with cities?)

If you think the people in Seattle care about the Sonics, you are sorely mistaken. The only reason the Seahawks are still around is that Paul Allen had to outright purchase them because they had their bags packed.
Seattle isn't a sports city and to be honest, I'm not sure why...
