Percy Allen wrote a wonderful article outlining Seattle fans' feelings on Sunday night. You see, the team closed its 2007-2008 season. While many fans would usually retreat to warmer pastures, or Mariners games at Safeco Field, this season is an extremely important one for Seattle basketball fans. You see, it represents what could be the Sonics's final season in Seattle. While both the City of Seattle and Howard Schultz are seeking legal action against the team's move, as it stands, the Sonics may never play in Seattle again. Here is how Sonics fans responded with that news:
4% with BARGAINING
6% with DENIAL
10% with DEPRESSION
33% with ACCEPTANCE/HOPE
47% with ANGER
We'll see if attitudes shift after hearing news of Schultz's lawsuit, but here is a question that I feel hasn't been asked enough:
If the Sonics moved to Oklahoma or Las Vegas, would you remain a loyal fan?
