Putting the “Spectator” in Spectator Sports
Clay Bennett Brings The Lumber (Or Rather The Goon Squad)
From now on we shall address Seattle SuperSonics owner Clay Bennett as His Lord Highness Bennett, Duke of Sonicsville. It seems a fitting title for someone who apparently sees himself ruling over a small fiefdom with an iron fist.
According to the Sonics Blog from The Seattle Times (link stolen from CSTB), a fan names Sam had the nerve to disturb His Lord Highness while sitting in his box seat watching the Sonics play Sacramento.
Sam: Clay, what’s up? You’re a thief Clay!
Clay: shrugs, smirks and blows me a kiss (I swear to God this is no lie)
Sam: I’ve been a season ticket holder since age 10. Don’t steal my team!!!
Clay: makes a face of mock pity
Sam: Sell the Sonics!!!
Clay: walks to the back of the suite, never to reappear
How rude to hurl insults at someone above your station. The Duke of Sonicsville rightly had ruffian put out on his ear.
