Sonics Sell Out: It Would Be Terrible if Everyone in Seattle Left Their Old Basketballs in Starbucks

Seattle is beginning to boycott Starbucks after the Sonics' sell-out of sell-outs.

Is there anything in the world more charming that a whiny, self-righteous billionaire bitching about losing money from a lack of tax money going to him, when he's not actually losing money? Not it's not Paul Allen this time. This time it's a toss up between Clay Bennet and Starbucks Dork-EO Howard Shultz.

The Sonics threaten to leave if we don't build them their second nearly free stadium in a decade with public money, and then they would get all revenue from any kind for the building. Howard Shultz of Starbucks lies, whines, and sells out to oklahoma Republican, making $80 million in the deal. Whines more. Oklahoma republican whines that Seattle doesn't believe a fucking word he says. NBA owners feel put upon, offer each other understanding.

Art Thiel, always an entertaining read, gets to unload torpedoes.

Seattle, overwhemingly: Buh-bye.
