This is sort of amusing. I assume when you say Basketball is more popular you base this on the fact that it is played by more people worldwide. Most fo these people are not the white collar wine-sippers you hang out with, of course, although most of the other season ticket holders at your beloved Sonics games likely are those type of people. You underscore this fact by your snarky comment about football being popular in backwaters, an elitist put down if I have ever heard one. So we have the moneyed class loving a game played largely by those that do not belong to their class, unless they make it to the highest echelon.

I'm with Sizzle; I'd also like to see you lace it up for a series on the line.
