Default Re: More News on Sonics Lawsuit

Keep the faith, good faith is not hard to prove, the burden may be to prove a bad faith effort regardless of their original intentions.

What we've failed to remember is that Bennett did more than Schultz to get an arena deal done in Seattle. So, Howard himself will have to admit that he didn't put forth good faith before he sold the team to Bennett.

Had Seattle made an attempt to build something or counter we wouldn't be having this discussion. The team would still be in Seattle.

They have gone out and gotten all the legal experts who agree with their claim that they have a chance and that again is their PR hype.

I'll do some reseach next week, I hear that there may be legal experts out there that don't agree on the chances of Seattle's suits being successful.

Seattle dropped the ball, their own Initiative 91 (taxpayers revolt; can't use taxpayers' money to fund sports stadiums, unless it is profitable--it puts a tremendous financial strain on the owners).

Most major league sports franchises are a novelty to own, most, barely break-even financially.
