Russell Wilson wants Seattle to petition for SuperSonics return

Russell Wilson wants to bring more superstars to Seattle.

The Seahawks quarterback took to Twitter on Tuesday to vent his frustration after the Seattle City Council on Monday denied entrepreneur Chris Hansen’s most recent attempt to gain control of part of Occidental Avenue South and get an NBA/NHL arena built in Seattle. Wilson urged fans to start a petition over the city's failure to bring back an NBA team.

Baffling this amazing city doesn't have the #SuperSonics Bring them back! Seattle Loves Basketball!

Seattle deserves a @NBA team
