Shultz is really saying he wouldn't have sold the team if he thought that Bennett would move it out of Seattle right? I think that's not true... so he is just as guilty as not being on the up and up.
So, if he was that concerned with keeping the team and cared all that much about it, he should have kept the team himself and rallied his efforts to meet the teams needs and their demands.
He's like a jilted lover. He didn't want them but he doesn't want anyone else to have it either.
He can't have his cake and eat it too, which is what I think he thought he was getting.... Bennett buys the teams, takes on all the headaches, builds an arena and the team gets to stay.
But, this brings me back to, again really what other thing do you buy and then can't use it because the previous owner dictates what you can and can't do with it?

Karried, with all due respect, I think you can dictate in the contract what the property can be used for. If person A sells a lot and stipulates that the property can't be used for raising chickens, buyer B must abide to that or be subject to suit.
I don't think there was anything in the contract to limit where the team could play. If there was I seriously doubt that Bennett and company would have signed the contract.
