Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson wants Seattle to get the Sonics back.
In light of another setback in bringing a team back to the city, Wilson has lent his voice in support in a pair of tweets sent Tuesday night.
Baffling this amazing city doesn't have the #SuperSonics Bring them back! Seattle Loves Basketball!
Seattle deserves a @NBA team

Seattle, Lets stand up & fight to get our team back! The stadium would sell out every game!
Let's start a petition Seattle! @NBA#WhyNotUs

The Seattle City Council voted Tuesday against giving an entrepreneur access to land to build a new stadium, according to ESPN. It doesn’t look like the city is any closer to getting a new NBA team.
Of course, if Wilson puts his pitchman skills to work like he has in the past, who knows what’s possible?
