Scare tactics greet Seattle sports fans

A day of hollow promises from OVG, accused child abuser Ed Murray resigning as mayor, Sonics Rising scares its readers with a false sense of choice based on parroting Tim Leiweke's fanciful talking points.

That's the big celebration of OVG's plan for a plan for a plan based largely on things they don't control finally sent to Seattle City Council.

"NOTHING - Sonics Rising"

OVG has nothing now, and will not have anything that resembles an actual approval from the city for quite a while, more than a year, maybe a couple years, maybe the council changes its mind again. But gosh, cramming readers with a false choice immediacy in an attempting to cow people toward a decision that could not possibly be acted on now. For KeyArena, there is now, not this year, maybe not next year. They don't know, pretending the aspirational date of a lightly invested developer is anything close to a fact is foolishness.

Seattle Arena Update | The Fabulous Peltoncast


It still lives in part for Kevin Pelton's podcast.

Listen to the end regarding the Grizz.

Listen up!

Seattle Arena Update

A special Peltoncast breaks down Thursday's proposal from the Sodo Arena group to renovate KeyArena into a trio of smaller music venues, the statement by the Seattle Office of Economic Development saying the offer came too late and why the City Council — not the OED — will control the decision between the Sodo proposal and Oak View Group's offer to renovate KeyArena into an NBA/NHL arena.


Have a great day,
