Becasue I get tired of derelicts coming up to me on the sidewalks and asking me for $. I suspect if it were at night and nobody was around, they wouldn't be asking.

I've never once had trouble finding a room. Not once.

I think he's referring to lack of a convention hotel costing the city millions in lost convention dollars.

I'd like someone to write an insider story one day on how we ****ed up and didn't get the Thunder to come here.

I think it's really, really Meh. Pretty overpriced for a middle class guy like me.

U ever go downtown in the 80s and 90s? Hell i still wouldn't walk around there at night

KCU all mad cause Crushed Urethra doesn't play at the hurricane anymore.

Because Clay Bennett wanted to move the Supersonics to OKC no matter what. Stern let him as he could use Seattle like the NFL uses LA, a big market threat so that governments hand over taxpayer dollars to billionaires to build new stadiums.

Probably because we didn't have a billionaire oil man write a $350m check like Oklahoma City had?

Interesting. There has to be more to the story, like what kind of kickbacks did Bennett get from moving there. Because, Oklahoma City over Kansas City? Really? (not that our leadership could pull their collective heads out of their asses and land an ascending NBA team or anything, but you get what I'm saying)

Kickbacks? Bennett is from OKC. He didn't need kickbacks, he wanted a team in his home city.

Yeah, that's usually what it comes to. Money talks.

Who was the billionaire? T Boone?

LMAO

Urethra Stanklimb

That explains it further. I didn't realize he was from OKC.
