[...]What pissed off Seattle fans was the way the new owner flat out lied to the city.[...]
Sort of like Robert Irsay shortly after New Year's of 1984...he had been travelling round the country showcasing his Colts to various (destination) cities, then when he got back to Baltimore he held a press conference...with a quite noticeable bit of adult beverage in him he blurted into the mike 'I have no intentions of moving the God damned team'...two months later, the Mayflower vans came.
The only people for Sac fans to blame is the Maloofs.
Seattle was, in fact, their third option - earlier they had looked into moving them to Vegas, then to Anaheim.
