SEAHAWKS, SONICS

Sports is a key part of Seattle’s culture, right up there with coffee and grunge. But, after building more than a billion dollars worth of sports stadiums within the city limits, some people are saying enough.

And they have a new tactic.

The P-I’s Art Thiel examines Initiative 91, the newest weapon in the arsenal of the city’s anti-sports crowd.

It’s a politically themed piece that takes a stand – and maybe not in the way you would think.

Back on the court, Damien Wilkins is on a mission with the Sonics. He wants to prove he’s the right guy for Seattle right now.

Who will make the team, and how many, is something that’s still up in the air. No one wants to make a decision until the new ownership group is in place Oct. 25.

Dave Boling of the News Tribune echoes exactly how I feel about Isaiah Kacyvenski, who the Hawks released last week and was picked up by the St. Louis Rams.

Boling’s last line says it all: “The Seahawks and the NFL have been lucky to have him.” Read the column and tell me if you agree.
