Notes:
"A sport economist hired by Sonics owners testified Thursday that the departure of the team would have 'no detectable economic impact' on the greater Seattle area. In a bizarre role reversal, the Sonics are arguing precisely the opposite of what professional sports teams usually want the public to believe--that they significantly boost the local economy."
