Steve Ballmer Looking To Buy The Seattle Sonics - Business on The Huffington Post

How do Seattle Mac fans feel about the possibility of the Sonics being heavily owned by Monkey Boy, possibly wearing MS Vista logos on their shirts?

Serves them right.

It SHOULD enforce their belief that they need to leave Seattle

Well, Microsoft owns the Seahawks too, and I'm a hardcore Seahawks fan, so I don't care much. I think that the Sonic franchise needs to leave Seattle. They have no fans, and Key Arena is crap.

It's a moot point. The team isn't for sale. Therefore, the legislature isn't going to act.

Pffff. The team will be sold if enough money is offered. There is speculation that the current owner bought the team just to try to get someone to bid a lot of money for it when he threatened to move.

I don't mind it. Didn't Starbucks use to own the Sonics?

Howard was part of the previous ownership group, but not Starbucks.
