For 1 more year?!? Fuck that. What they put that town and fans thru this past 4 months has been brutal. They had that heart breaking last game! I'd tell the Maloofs to fuck off over 1 more season.
If this is like Seattle's last year, no one will go because they're mad. Then when the team does leave, it will have lower attendance figures to justify leaving. Then the rest of the country will cite the number when they say, you deserve it because you didn't support your team. Sacramento will say, look at the number before the last 5 years, when we still had a decent team. etc.
Stern is such an arrogant prick. If you don't kiss his ass you are fucked: http://www.tweetdeck.com/twitter/gwashburn14/~YhYk7 When asked to compare Seattle and Sacramento NBA arena situations, Commissioner Stern said this: "In Seattle, there was a hostility by the mayor, who was interested in doing nothing as opposed to the way Mayor Johnson has put himself out on this for the people of Sacramento." The speaker of the house was hostile to the NBA and its players, was not the least bit interested in moving and legislation even that just authorized King County to do what which it might have done to help support the arena. To call it night and day, it was an absolutely an incredible difference and it is night and day.
what pains me is that sac is gonna bend over backwards to keep the team, and give those bitch assed maloofs whatever they want. maloof, i mean the name always just sounded so douchey, not to mention their ridiculous plastic surgery faces and lame wardrobes, go get your eyes devoured by the hounds of hell.
I'm just thankful we didn't face a similar situation back when our team sucked. I'll have small market team's backs until the day I die.
for real, i went through it with the sf giants back in the day as well, almost moved to tampa i think
