Eat A Dick Clay Bennett

Clay Bennett = Art Modell

I've been through this. My friends, family and I lost our Cleveland Browns to a self-centered owner back in the 90's. (editor's note: if I see you in public, Art, I will razz you and your whole ice-cream crew. but lucky for you, Baltimore is a subjacent city- I ain't going there anytime soon.)

It's happening all over again to Seattle. Check out this simpleton:



By now we've all heard that the Seattle SuperSonics are more than likely leaving Seattle because of billionaire-owner Clay Bennett. My opinion falls in line w/ ESPN smart-alec Bill Simmons, who this week collected angry emails from SuperSonics fans around the globe. His statement here sums up my feelings pretty nicely:

"After being part of the city for 41 years, the Sonics are being stolen away for dubious reasons while every NBA owner and executive allows it to happen, including David Stern, the guy who's supposed to be policing this stuff. I think it's reprehensible to watch someone hijack a franchise away from the people who cared about the team and loved it and nurtured it through the years. It belittles not just the good people of Seattle, but everyone who loves sports and believes it provides a unique and valuable connection for a city, a community, family members and friends."



Read part 1 and part 2.

Then pray that David Stern gains the testicular fortitude to not allow this to happen.
