As usual, Seattle style, the effort to create a new city facility … this time a basketball arena is being fought out … to great benefit of attorneys … by a contest in court.
The winners are clear … lots of dollars, some of them from tax payers …, will be spent enriching attorneys. Final Score: Attorneys 98 Seattle 56 Arena ends up in Seattle.
In the mean time, interesting issues about the arena .. such as why the existing Arena is not adequate or why NOT put this in Bellevue so the traffic would be THEIR problem or along the light rail so that folks would use the train to get there ….nahhhh!
Meantime, I am working on possible team names.
Here are some of my best:
Seattle Shysters … to honor our biggest industry
Seattle Stormboys.. to honor our real home grown team . The Storm
Seattle Sasquatch … to make the rest of the US stumble over the word
Seattle Spearchuckers .. to recignize ther hypocrisy of American professional (black) sports.
Seattle Superslugs .. imagine the mascot!
