RE: Seattle's NHL expansion bid getting closer to reality
I did some research about Atlanta Spirit and the Hawks. Folks were so angry at Atlanta Spirit for selling the Thrashers, that they boycotted Hawks games. If that wasn't bad enough for Atlanta Spirit, the mayor of Atlanta hit them with a huge penalty should they or anyone else try to move the team for seven years, I believe, when Atlanta Spirit renewed the lease. No one in Atlanta was found to Atlanta Spirit's liking/asking price, so Atlanta Spirit sold the Hawks to a firm from California, who agreed not to move the team.
