A Sonic Vigilante's New York Minute

Contributing SW filmmaker Jason Reid, whose "Haymaker & Sally" (co-produced with Buzzer Beater columnist Damon Agnos) screens at STIFF this afternoon, has produced a 7-minute cinematic rendering of a recent trip to the commissioner's office in New York City, where he and a friend hand-delivered a heartfelt protest letter to David Stern — and proceeded to tape copies of it all over the ground floor of the building. Reidster's film features the music of Sinatra, Henley, and Mercury, and he cops to owning a vintage Horace Grant Sonic jersey (I own an Ansu Sesay jersey, the only one of its kind). It will move you to tears.

Great video!!!!!

FACE

Well done. Thanks for the effort and the presentation.

That was great, it's just too bad you couldn't hand it to Stern himself.

I find this whole thing to be ridiculous and if Oklahoma ever steals your team, you have my support that I will never attend a Raptors home game against Oklahoma.

Where is michael moore when you need him.

THANK YOU for posting this video. It is a wake-up call to all... if it can happen to Seattle, it can happen anywhere... in a New York minute. Here in Seattle, we have experienced "the end of the innocence."
