Yakama Nation leaders keep basketball team alive
Friday, August 19, 2005
The new leaders of the Yakama Nation of Washington voted to keep its minor league basketball team alive, at least for the coming season.
The purchase of the Sun Kings spurred a backlash within the tribe. A handful of officials were ousted in a recall and some wanted to get out of the deal entirely.
Newly elected leaders decided not to go that route and will support the team through the end of spring. The tribe had paid $500,000.
