Raptor Fans Supporting Sonics Fans

To:  MLSE

To: Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment

Dear MLSE,

This week you will join other NBA owners and vote on Clay Bennett's proposal to relocate the Seattle SuperSonics franchise in Oklahoma City. Less than a month ago, a subcommittee of three owners visited Oklahoma City and recommended league approval.

We the undersigned strongly urge you to vote against the proposed measure. We have experienced the only other Canadian franchise being moved and cannot comprehend not having basketball in the Washington state/British Columbia area.

You can join Mark Cuban who has said, "I'm going to wait to get all the information, (but) my preference is the Sonics stay in Seattle. My prejudice is against having a Dustbowl Division in this part of the country because I don't think in the big picture that helps the NBA and I think the bigger market helps the NBA. My prejudice is to vote them in but like everything else in the NBA, (the vote) will be 29-1."

Your vote is an important one. We ask that you vote for the fans in Seattle.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
