Clay Bennett has never meet the Mayor of Seattle, Greg Nickels, never.

SEATTLE - This past week we've found out that the Mayor of Seattle, Greg Nickels, will not let the Sonics out of the current arena lease early. We have also found out that Bennett doesn't even want to discuss a Key arena remodel.

They can still meet and discuss other options, if they know how to arrange a simple meeting.

I think it's more than a little strange that the owner of the Seattle Supersonics, Clay Bennett, has never meet with the mayor of the city he's claimed to want to keep his team in. Not once have they sat face to face and discussed anything, not the weather, not business, not basketball, nothing.

This is according to Bennett's statements in an interview on KJR radio a couple weeks ago when he made his flyby trashcan rattle about wanting to meet Greg Nickels, though he didn't bother to schedule a meeting before he blew into town, another strange act. As if he pulled that press release and media blitz out of his ass, maybe he did.

He's talking one way for an entire year, and has yet to meet with Greg Nickels? Not once? Until Bennett actually meets with the mayor of the "market" he supposedly wants to keep his team in I view any and all of his statements about wanting to keep his business here complete bullshit.

That's the mark of a weasel. Yes, I'm calling Clay Bennett a weasel, calling it as I see it.

If you have a counter argument Clay, and actual facts, you can leave a comment. Your talk is cheap.
