Over the past few months, it has become obvious that eventually, the Sonics are going to end up there. To all of the disgruntled Sonic fans, all I have to say is don't be so selfish. OK has never had a major sports franchise to speak of(the Hornets don't count), so why shouldn't they get their chance in the big leagues.
Here is just a sampling of what they have been missing over the years:
1)Owners who could care less about the fan.....it's all about the bottom line. After all, they aren't rich for nothing.
2)Franchises holding a community hostage for a new arena.
3)The drunk idiot who won't quit cussing and making a fool of himself in front of your children.
4)Holdouts
5)Player strikes and general labor unrest(you are making 35000 a year,them... 5 mil)
6)$10 beer
7)$20 parking
8)Relentless heartburn after a $7.50 stadium dog.
9)Half hour waits to take a leak.
10)Getting 3 hours of sleep on a work night because the game went to 2OT's.....you stayed, your team lost.
11)A 15 minute drive that lasts 3 hours because of the traffic after the game.
There are many more, and I mostly enjoy catching a game or two a year, but be prepared to take the good with the bad.

Why Should Oklahoma City Miss Out On All The Fun?Really, I don't know what Seattle fans would be missing. Maybe a team that doesn't like it there(Duh). Great blog. PS: What should their team name be? Keep it Sonics or something else.
