Kings Errata, September 30: Beno Udrih's Swag, Kevin Johnson's Arena Push

KJ is just striking while the iron’s hot after the NCAA rightfully claimed that Arco was to old and beaten up to host the 1st round of March Madness.

Up until then really the only people saying Arco needs to be replaced have been the NBA, so people have somewhat tabbed this as a Kings/NBA issue when it really is a Sacramento issue. With other entities out there saying “no really, this place sucks” KJ’s just simply trying to move the discussion away from the Maloofs and put it back on the city of Sacramento. You want yo fix these problems before they come up, not as they come up.

In the past year, because of Arco, Sacramento has lost the NCAA’s and a nationally televised WWE event because of Arco’s size/age. There needs to be a new arena, I’m just glad Sac finally has a mayor that realizes this isn’t about politics, this is about Sacramento losing money and trying to avoid taking a step back to the pre-80s days.

Without a new arena Sacramento will suffer a huge loss. The Kings as well as all the money that basketball brings into this area. As a Kings fan the first is enough for me to want something done.

Shouldn’t our elected official, here the mayor, protect what makes their area great? Are you saying the the Kings don’t do that? What are you saying here? That you don’t care if the Kings go elsewhere?

Are you a Kings fan, cause if not…

I like’s my mayors like I like’s my women: silent and complacent!

Seriously though, does it really bother you that the mayor is actively engaging in such a consequential issue? Or you just completely disagree that the arena issue is of major consequence? I think it’d be hard to argue that in this case the mayor is wasting his time on some offbeat pet project while ignoring the city’s priorities.

but “Kings” needs to be in the headline for SEO purposes. Need to attract viewers we will later reject as being not sophisticated enough! It’s a vicious cycle.
