Shouldn't this Raise an Eyebrow?

Let's play a game.  All you have to do is point out what is egregiously wrong with this next sentence:

"Johnson was wrapping up two days of meetings with NBA relocation committee chairman and Oklahoma City Thunder owner Clay Bennett and other league officials in Sacramento."
Okay, got your answer?  There is only one obvious thing wrong with this.  "Clay Bennett" and "NBA relocation committee chairman."  The same man who hijacked the Seattle Supersonics and mutated them into the Oklahoma City Thunder is in charge of relocating NBA teams?  HOW DOES NOBODY SEE AN ISSUE WITH THIS?

If you do not know what happened in the Seattle situation and you have a little bit of free time, I suggest that you check out SonicsGate to get an in-depth look at the theft of one of the better NBA franchises.  And if you do not have the free time to look at it, check out the abridged version on Wikipedia under "Relocation to Oklahoma City."

I respect David Stern as a business man.  I do not like him, but I think he has done a solid job as NBA commissioner.  But making Clay Bennett the head of NBA relocation makes me sick.  It is an absolute shame that Seattle lost the Sonics and this is just a stomp in the collective crotches of Sonics fans everywhere.
