City of Seattle beats Sonics

Seattle won a battle today against the Sonics when a judge ruled that the case cannot go to arbitration. This is great for the city since it strikes a blow to the Sonics ownership group and possibly delays the team moving to Oklahoma City.

Although this is good, it is only the first step in a long process. Our elected officals need to be working on an areana deal. And what the hell happened to the Muckleshoot site? Clearly, Clay Bennett is sitting on his hands while trying to drive the fan base away.
