Reports today seem to be substantiated that Chris Hansen funded anti-arena efforts in Sacramento.

While I generally want to wait for additional commentary from Hansen's camp it is absolutely significant enough news that we have to acknowledge it.

I have to consider how I feel about it. The first thing is that I just don't consider Hanson would actually do it himself. Plenty of ways to bury something like this.

I'm upset that it comes to this. If we were going to play it tough then we should have played it tough earlier. At this point it feels like it is sacrificing the moral high ground a bit but I will say that this is no dirtier at all than what the Sacramento government did during the fight or what the NBA participated in during both the Sacto and OKC relocation sagas.

Interested to see more.

UPDATE: Here is the statement issued by Chris Hansen:
