An Open Letter to King's Fans

King's Fans:

STAY AWAY FROM TONIGHT'S GAME!

Showing support for the Maloof's at tonight's game is like rewarding your child for all F's for six consecutive years.

This is what I hear when I see support (1 day before the deadline for the Maloof's to announce they are relocating), "we have allowed the Maloof's to shit on us for the last six years, trading away our favorite players, not making the vital move when the playoffs were within reach and not negotiating in good faith. Even the NBA was putting millions in on a deal to keep the Kings in Sacramento with a new arena". You didn't stand up to the ownership then, but as they leave you sell out the stadium... for what?

You probably think the extension is for them to get closer on making a deal for a new arena, or to secure financing to do the deal privately? Nope, just go ask Mayor Kevin Johnson. The one person who needs to keep the NBA in Sacramento can't even get the Maloof's ear a week before they are to make their decision.
Wake up Sacramento. The only reason they are asking for an extension is because if they announce they are leaving March 1, who will show up to buy an $8 beer and $20 parking? So, they ask the NBA for an extension so 10K people will still show up for the next 45 days, then they can say goodbye without all the bloodshed. Screw them, don't show up, and let them sit by themselves to see what they did to a once great fan base. 

What is going on in people's heads when they buy a $90 lower bowl seat tonight?  Hey, maybe the Maloof's will get filled with emotion and have a change of heart. That is like having a talk with your child about drugs after they have an addiction.

All we need in Sacramento is to be relevant, which is where the ownership went wrong. When the King's were relevant, is was the loudest arena on the west coast and all the bars within 30 miles were busy with fans. Try going to a sports bar in Sac tonight and watch the game. You might have to ask them to turn it on.

Those glory days will return. Sacramento needs to boycott these loser owners tonight and start looking for a new dance partner.
