The chant wasn’t something on the order of, “Go Sonics!” - although, as the Seattle Sonics happened to win last night’s game against the Dallas Mavericks, the crowd was certainly supportive - but rather - “Bennett sucks!”

Bennett being Clay Bennett, leader of the group which owns the Sonics and plans to move the team to Oklahoma City.

We’d guess that before long, someone will launch a new basketball team at Seattle, likely not major league but something professional. The audience for basketball clearly is there; money can be made. Question: Is that good enough? Or is it that the idea of major league, as opposed to basketball, is what’s important here? And if that is, why?
