The Las Vegas SuperSonics?

"Sonics owner Howard Schultz, the chairman of Starbucks Corp., has threatened to move or sell the team if state lawmakers don't approve a sales-tax package to pay for a new or renovated arena. But state lawmakers last month said there would be no deal this year."


Doesn't keep college teams from playing in Vegas...or getting in to scandals there...

I don't think they would do it simply because there is too much competition for a buck there...its a smaller piece of the dollar pie that they will compete for...then again a lot of money flows into Vegas...

Personally, North Dakota, Wyoming or Idaho are screaming for a team...why not move there.

I'll never understand how Starbucks got on the map the way it has. Personally, I've never spent a cent there, but yet it shows how this country is moving towards that "pussified" state.


I like sports as much as anyone else and priobably more, but every team in the every sport seems to what a new stadium and most of the time they get it. What is so wrong with all these existing stadiums that already cost taxpayers 100 million dollars.

If my taxes go to pay for these stadiums, why don't I have a key and be able to use it any time I want? That goes for other taxpayers as well.

This country will never be where it needs to be without me in control, I am very sure of that.
