I agree with Bill Simmons, if a franchise wins a title in their city, they shouldn't be allowed to move. Ever. THe Sonics are the most successful franchisein Seattle's history. The Mariners had exactly one and a half months of good baseball in their almost 20-year history and it got them a new stadium. TheSeahawks hadn't been to the playoffs in 15 years and hadn't won a playoff game for even longer and they got a new stadium. They were a sub-.500 teamfor a very long time. The Sonics have been disrespected so much in Seattle it's disgusting. This recent run by the Seahawks and the vibe in this city isnothing like the mid-90s when the Sonics reigned supreme. The city is the definition of "what have you done for me lately?" and the Sonics justhaven't done enough to warrant a new arena. Very sad.
