While I am no fan of the current NBA, I have always loved the Sonics.
Yes, especially to rub it in all the Mariners fans that said, "I don't care if the Sonics leave. I'm a baseball fan."

I hate that the Sonics were stolen and I love Basketball but I just don't enjoy the NBA. It's a joke.

Really, it can take up to 190 games to determine who is the best?

It's funny though, once the Mariners start winning in two years all your "yeses" will change...

There is a lot to be excited about within the M's organization. Do the owners and the execs suck? Yeah, but we've been pumped about Seattle teams before with awful ownership, that's almost a Seattle tradition. Unless you're going to be a giant payroll team, which the M's will likely never be even with a new owner, it takes a good long while to build a team.

lemme repeat that
4 TIMES
Team isn't gonna be good in 1-2 skip a few 99-100 years.
But if cats wanna hang onto that ship that's been submerged for some time now, go on ahead and do you.

I'm sorry, the Mariners have done plenty to lose themselves the benefit of the doubt and even more to raise the ire of fans, but lately the anti-M's stuff has gone from hyperbole to hysteria. Disliking the current owners is one thing, but to write off the franchise entirely? And why do we have to get so damn divisive with our teams and even those local teams' fans? This isn't an either/or and this thread presents a bizarre hypothetical that is purely set to stoke the fire. I love the Seahawks, I love the Sonics, and I love the Mariners. Do the Mariners suck? Yeah, but that doesn't mean we should even start talking about indifference towards the idea of losing them. That type of attitude has presented itself before, we saw it with certain groups the first time they almost left, when the Hawks almost left, and even when the Sonics DID leave. Don't be a part of that crowd.
