Seattle Swoosh Festival?



Seriously

I just looked out my window and saw ..

Seattle.

Aren't we supposed to be different?

Why all the upset at losing the Supersonics to some Yahoos from Oklahoma. My motto? The Sooner the Sonics become the Sooners, the better!

Since the Storm are staying, why not invest resources in building up the WNBA here?

Look, the same issues pertain to the Storm at Key as do for the Sonics, except for attendance.
If the Storm attendance goes up, local businesses benefit or lose depending on your POV. BUT ... why wouldn't the local athletic crowd be attracted to the girls in long shorts ?

For a small portion of the subsidy the testicle enabled team wants, we could put money into promoting the Storm!

e.g.

Seattle Storm Festival


Seattle loves festivals, We don't have one in Mid Winter/basketball season. Why not make Key Arena the home to a Girl Ball Festival? This could work with the UW and the Zags, to include collegiate sports as well ... maybe an allstar type effort? how about a kind of world games format, hosted by the Storm but inviting teams from China, Cuba, Canada, etc.

Given another unique aspect of the Seattle scene we could call it the Seattle Storm Swoosh Festival! The Swoosh Bowl?
