Oklahoma City Thunder is getting what they deserve


So, I have two problems with the Oklahoma City Thunder (formerly the Seattle Supersonics for those that haven't been watching their ESPN)

A) They moved away from a major metropolitan area with a loyal fanbase for no reason. Actually there was a reason and it was stupid. You see, there was this hurricane in New Orleans a couple years back. You might have heard of it, you might have not. It was called something like Katrina, the name escapes me. Anyways, the New Orleans Hornets could not play in New Orleans after the hurricane hit because it was apparently pretty bad. As a result, the Hornets played some basketball games in Oklahoma, home of gay musicals, Sooners, and good ol' J.R. The people of Oklahoma decided to support the Hornets during their time of need and sold out all their games.

After a while, the Hornets moved back home. Later, some dude from Oklahoma decided to buy the Supersonics and thought, "Why don't I move these guys back home so Ma' and Pa' can watch 'em?" Just like that, he picked up his new team- up-and-coming legend Kevin Durant included- and brought 'em back home. As for the people of Seattle, he went old school and gave them the ol' "Screw you, grunge-playin' coffee lovers!" I guess only the athletes in the NBA have to act professional.


B) They decided to name the team the friggin Thunder. Seriously!?!? It sounds like an arena football league team to me. I mean, the Thunder? The only people who are liking this are these ladies who currently own the domain name oklahomacitythunder.com. Also, that's a terrible name for a team website. You know how many times fans are going to misspell that name? Oh, and by the way, I'm totally not making up the fact that those woman own the domain name. If you don't believe me, you can type it in yourself.
