Default The Theft of the Seattle Supersonics

I haven't seen this posted here, so I figured that I would in case anyone was interested.

Movie Trailer - Sonicsgate (youtube)

This is basically a movie about the manipulation and greed that led to Seattle's team being taken from them and moved to Oklahoma City. It's roughly 2 1/2 hours long (under that), so it's definitely something to grab a beer and watch when you have time.

Link to full movie (sonicsgate.org)

Movie is hosted by vimeo

At the very least, the name, colors, and logo still belong to the city of Seattle. If there's ever another expansion team, or if another team moves to Seattle, they Sonics could be reborn like the Cleveland Browns.

True, but the history of the team belongs to OKC now. It basically has worked out with them being able to create another Sonics team, but they can't have anything that they've earned as the Sonics.

Seattle told them to take a hike, so they took a hike.

aren't I so lucky that the only sport I care about is taken out of here. oh but we still have crappy seahawks football (football sucks), soccer (soccer?!), and mariners baseball (ok that's ok i guess...still a rangers fan). pisses me off to no end. washington people suck and always have.
