I haven't heard if anybody at the Annual Meeting asked Mr. Schultz
about his sale of the Sonics to people from Oklahoma City who are now trying to move the team. A poll by KING 5 News yesterday showed that 15% of people in Seattle blame Howard Schultz for the impending loss of the team, and many local fans are actually boycotting Starbucks. Only Clay Bennett, the new owner, is blamed more than Mr. Schultz. Did this topic come up at all? |

It looked liked Schultz was wearing a Kevlar vest and dodging laser
pointers on stage? Apparently during the Shareholders Meeting he thought the opening applause was for him. The employees and retirees were just happy to see he didn't leave the country. Iraq could us another "talking head" leader. We saw him earlier in the week... he ducked into Lark Restaurant on

It really is a sad thing what he did to the Sonics, especially after
coming in to "save" the team for Seattle. I wonder if he will ever deal with the mistake in a public way, perhaps apologizing, and even better would be if he tries to help keep the team here. He always claimed to be a big fan, but his action in a fit of pique with the city of Seattle over financing was a huge blunder. Surely he could have found a local group to sell the team to, if he was that burned out. |
